Kessler Makes the Nuts

Level 2

2-7 Triple Draw

Allen Kessler, Bruno Fitoussi, and Stephen Chidwick each put in two bets after the second draw, and Kessler stood pat. Fitoussi and Chidwick drew one apiece, and Fitoussi folded to Kessler's bet. Chidwick raised, and Kessler instantly reraised. Chidwick called, and Kessler tabled {7-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} for a number one.

Ausmus Gets Some Back

Level 2

Pot-Limit Omaha

On a {5-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{4-Spades} flop it was Talal Shakerchi who bet 3,000 and Jeremy Ausmus raised it up to 8,500. Scott Seiver, on his left, tanked for a while before folding and Kevin Song, on the button, made the call. Shakerchi also folded creating heads-up action on the turn.

The turn brought the {6-Clubs} and Ausmus bet 19,000 into Song who tanked for a bit before letting go of his hand.

"Well I'm glad I didn't get involved in that," David Bach said, as he explained he would've flopped a set in this hand that created plenty of fireworks.

Chen Makes a Seven

Level 2

2-7 Triple Draw

We picked up with the action on the first draw to see Gary Benson take two, Richard Ashby one, and Bill Chen two. Benson checked and Ashby led out with a bet. Chen and Benson called to see the next draw.

For the second draw, Benson took one, Ashby stood pat, and Chen once again opted for two. Benson checked and Ashby continued his aggression with a bet. Chen announced a raise and both of his opponents flat called. On the final draw, Benson took one card and both Ashby and Chen stood pat. Action checked around to Chen and he bet one last time. Benson ditched his cards and Ashby tossed forward a call.

Chen fanned {7-}{6-}{5-}{4-}{2-}, prompting Ashby to muck his cards. Chen raked in the pot and now has about 162,000 in chips.

Pot-Limit Omaha

Two players in the blinds checked to Matthew Ashton on the button with the board reading {k-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}, and he bet 1,300. Sergii Baranov made the call, but Abe Mosseri wanted to play for more: 6,300. Ashton made the call, and Baranov ducked out of the way. Mosseri slowed down with a check on the {8-Diamonds} river, and Ashton bet 4,800.

Mosseri tossed in a call, and Ashton showed {5-Hearts}{5-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{7-Spades} for fives full. Mosseri shook his head and mucked, and the defending champ is off to a nice start here on Day 1.
