Foxen Check-Pots on Brown

Level 2 : 600/1,200, 0 ante

Pot-Limit 2-7 Triple Draw

Alex Foxen checked after the first draw from the big blind and Andrew Brown potted for 4,850 in the cutoff. Foxen came back with a repot and Brown mucked in short order. Despite being known mostly for his no-limit skills, Foxen is off to a nice start up more than 20,000 in Level 2.

Nine-Nine for Brown, Chops with Noori

Level 2 : 600/1,200, 0 ante

Badeucey

Michael Noori raised and Andrew Brown made it three bets to go from the big blind. Noori called and drew two behind Brown's one-draw.

Brown bet and Noori called, and the same draw was repeated. Brown bet out again; this time for 1,200 and Noori called.

Brown stood pat and bet, and Noori drew one, and then called.

Brown showed his {9-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{2-Spades} for a nine-nine, while Noori revealed his {J-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{5-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} for a better dugi to take half.

"Really Good Bluff or Really Bad Value-Bet"

Level 2 : 600/1,200, 0 ante

Big O

The board read {8-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{6-Clubs} and both big blind David "ODB" Baker and small blind Steven Loube had 1,900 in front of them. ODB bet 3,000 and Loube called. Baker fired 9,600 on the {10-Spades} river and Loube thought for about 30 seconds.

"That's a really good bluff or a really bad value bet," he declared, mucking {q-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{5-Hearts} face up, good for a low and a queen-high flush.

No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw

Frankie O'Dell raised to 1,000 from under the gun and Jared Bleznick called next to act.

Jon Turner called in the big blind and drew two as O'Dell stood pat, and Bleznick drew two also.

Turner led out for 4,000, and O'Dell snap-called as Bleznick mulled over his decision before folding.

Turner fanned his {8-}{7-}{6-}{3-}{2-}, and O'Dell mucked.

Lawrence Berg
Lawrence Berg

Badacey

From the cutoff, Lawrence Berg raised to 1,200 and both Alex Foxen and Andrew Brown called in the blinds and drew two each as Berg stood pat.

Action was checked to Berg who bet 600 and Foxen and Brown both called and drew two again. Berg stood pat and bet 1,200 once action was checked to him.

Foxen called and drew one, as did Brown, before both players checked to Berg one last time.

Berg bet 1,200, Foxen folded, and Brown contemplated his decision for about a minute before folding.

Berg fanned his {5-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{A-Clubs} for a monster dealt pat hand to scoop the pot.

Fuchs' Board Scares Them Off

Level 2 : 600/1,200, 0 ante

Razz

Frank Crivello completed with {6-} and Carol Fuchs raised with {3-}. Adam Owen came along with a {7-} and Fuchs continued betting, with Owen dropping out after catching consecutive paint on fourth and fifth.

Frank Crivello: {x-}{x-}/{6-}{7-}{4-}{8-}
Carol Fuchs: {x-}{x-}/{3-}{7-}{2-}{4-}
Adam Owen: {x-}{x-}/{7-}{k-}{j-} (folded on fifth street)

On sixth, Crivello finally gave up despite having a decent board himself.

"Pair?" he asked.

Fuchs said she had none.

Stud Hi-Lo

Nam Le had the bring-in and Gavin Smith called, as did David Bach. On fourth street, Smith bet and Bach folded while Le called.

Smith bet fifth and sixth streets, and Le called him on each occasion.

Nam Le: {X-}{X-} / {2-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{A-Spades} / {X-}
Gavin Smith: {X-}{X-} / {6-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{4-Clubs} / {X-}

On seventh, both players checked and Smith tabled his {J-Spades}{7-Hearts}{5-Spades} for trip fours. Le showed his {A-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{4-Spades} for a low, and the pot was chopped.

Betil Catches a Good One

Level 2 : 600/1,200, 0 ante

2-7 Triple Draw

Rob Mizrachi bet from the small blind and Barsican Betil raised from the big after the second draw. Mizrachi came back with three bets and Betil called. Only Betil took a final card. Mizrachi bet again and Betil looked at the ceiling as if doing some mental math, then he called.

"Ten," Mizrachi announced.

Betil spread {8-}{7-}{4-}{3-}{2-}, leaving Mizrachi shaking his head.

Owen quickly mucked, and in the process dropped down to just 12,200 in chips.
