Mosseri Makes the Nuts

Level 2 : 300/500, 0 ante

We picked up with the action on the first draw, finding Abe Mosseri drawing two, Bryn Kenney taking one, and Scott Abrams picking up three on the button.

Mosseri checked and Kenney led out with a bet. Abrams called and Mosseri announced a check-raise. Kenney made it three bets and Abrams got out of the way. Mosseri four-bet the action and Kenney called. Both players stood pat on the second draw and Mosseri fired a bet. Kenney called and the same action repeated on the next draw and betting round.

Mosseri fanned {7-}{5-}{4-}{3-}{2-} for the nuts and dragged in the pot. He now has about 24,000 in chips.

Matusow's Ten is Better

Level 2 : 300/500, 0 ante
Mike Matusow
Mike Matusow

We caught the action as Justin Bonomo and Mike Matusow went to the first draw. Both players picked up two new cards and Bonomo led out with a bet. Matusow called to see the second draw.

Bonomo took just one new card on this draw while Matusow stuck with two. Bonomo bet once again and Matusow flatted. Bonomo stood pat on the final draw and Matusow picked up one. Both players checked and Matusow flipped up the {10-Clubs}. Bonomo slapped the {10-Hearts} on the felt to show that he also held a ten-low. Matusow fanned the rest of his hand - {6-}{5-}{3-}{2-} - causing Bonomo to throw his hand into the muck.

Matusow picked up the pot and now has about 20,000 in chips.

"The Most Tense Hand I've Had All Tournament"

Level 2 : 300/500, 0 ante

Scott Clements raised from the cutoff only to have Phil Laak three-bet from the button. The blinds folded and Clements flung out a call. Clements opted to draw three.

"You drew three cards?!" said Laak. "Wow. That changes everything. You've got a lot of work to do here." Laak took one new card.

Clements checked and Laak bet out. Clements called and took one card on the next draw. Laak drew one as well. On this street, Clements decided to lead out. Laak came over the top and Clements flat called to see the final draw. He took one while Laak stood pat.

Clements checked and Laak moved out one final bet.

"Alright, I bet," said Laak. "I hope this isn't a trap."

Clements folded his cards and Laak was pushed the pot.

"Oh my GOD," said Laak with a smile. "That was the most tense hand I've had all tournament!"

Certainly Laak is hoping that many more tense moments are to come, as that will mean a deep run in this prestigious event. He's now sitting just over starting stack with about 31,000 in chips.
