Bach Stands Pat

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 0 ante

Iakov Onuchin raised from middle position, David Bach three-bet from the button, and Onuchin called. Bach would stand pat through all three draws as Onuchin took two, then one, then stood pat himself. Onuchin check-called a Bach bet after the first draw, check-raised Bach on the second (and Bach called), then both checked on the end.

Onuchin tabled a rough eight — {8-}{7-}{5-}{4-}{2-}. But Bach had him beat with {8-}{5-}{4-}{2-}{x-} (the dealer obscuring the fifth card before sweeping Bach the chips).

Tehan is Here to Gamble

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 0 ante

We got to the table just in time to see the drawing start in a three way pot involving Eric Wasserson, Eli Elezra, and Joe Tehan. All three players drew two cards, and Wasserson bet out. Elezra raised it up, then Tehan cold called behind. Wasserson called, and Elezra said "well I tried to get him out." Both Wasserson and Elezra drew one, while Tehan drew two, which got another chuckle from Elezra. Tehan simply responded with "I'm here to gamble.", and this time, it was checked to Tehan, who fired out. Both players called, and everyone drew one on the final draw.

It was again checked to Tehan, who fired out one more bet. Wasseron quickly folded, but Elezra wanted to see the hand, as he tossed in the call. Tehan showed {10-}{8-}{5-}{4-}{2-}, and Elezra quickly mucked. He then said "You were gambling do you want to see what I had?" He then retrieved his cards, and showed {7-}{6-}{3-}{2-}{q-}.

Smith Folds to Schneider

Shamus

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 0 ante

"Don't do it, Donkey Bomber!"

So said Gavin Smith just now after raising, then watching Schneider hesitate before acting from the button. Schneider did do it — he three-bet — and when it folded back to Smith he made the call.

Smith took two and Schneider stood pat, then Smith check-called a bet from the four-time bracelet winner. Smith then took two cards again while Schneider remained content with his hand, and when Smith checked and Scheider bet again, Smith let his hand go.

Mercier Meets End

Shamus

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 0 ante

Jason Mercier's Day 2 comeback attempt has come to an end here at the start of the day's second level.

In his last hand, the blinds had just increased to 400/800 and Mercier was down to his last 1,000. He raised all in from the button. David Blatte then called from small blind, although he didn't realize Mercier's bet was for 1,000 and the floor had to be called for some clarification. Blatte's call of the raise stood, and Naoya Kihara came along from the big blind.

Blatte then tossed out four cards for the first draw, earning a chuckle from the table. Both Kihara and Mercier took three, then Blatte bet and Kihara called. Blatte took one, Kihara two, and Mercier two on the next round, and again Blatte bet and Kihara called.

The third round saw Blatte standing pat, Kihara taking two cards, and Mercier one. Both Blatte and Kihara checked. Blatte tabled {9-}{5-}{4-}{3-}{2-} and Kihara showed a hand with a {J-}. Meanwhile Mercier turned over his {8-}{7-}{4-}{2-}, then squeezed his final card — a pairing {8-} — before departing.

Tepen Takes from Mizrachi

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 0 ante

Ryan Tepen raised from the cutoff, then Michael Mizrachi reraised from the small blind, forcing a fold from David "ODB" Baker one seat to his left. Tepen came back with a four-bet, and after pausing a beat Mizrachi called.

The first two draws went similarly, with Mizrachi taking two cards, Tepen one, and Mizrachi check-calling a bet from his opponent. Both players then stood pat on the third draw. Mizrachi checked again, Tepen bet again, and this time Mizrachi let his hand go.

One of You Guys is Up to Something

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 0 ante

Jeff Lisandro raised it up in the cutoff, and both the blinds, Gavin Smith and Tom Schneider, defended. Lisandro and Schneider both drew one card, while Smith drew three. Smith checked to Schneider, who fired out, and got calls from both his opponents. This time around, both Lisandro and Schneider stood pat, while Smith drew two. The same betting occurred, but this time, Lisandro folded. As he called, Smith said "one of you guys is up to something," which got a laugh from Lisandro, who was no longer in the hand.

Smith drew one on the final draw, while Schneider stayed pat again. Both players checked, and Schneider showed {8-}{7-}{4-}{3-}{2-}. Smith briefly flashed what appeared to be {j-}{5-}{4-}{3-}{2-}, also saying "I had the other two deuces as well."
