Le Surviving

Level 7 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante

Badugi

Yarron Bendor raised the button to 4,000 and Nam Le called in the big blind and drew three as Bendor drew two.

Le checked, Bendor bet, and Le called all in for his last 1,000. Both players drew one, and then on the final draw both players drew one again.

Le: {9-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}
Bendor: {4-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}

Le found the {K-Spades} to give him immediate assistance while Bendor could only find the {Q-Hearts}, and Le doubled to 11,000 in chips.

Razz

David Benyamine had the betting lead when we arrived on sixth street and was firing against Yehuda Buchalter, who had picked up paint.

Benyamine {x-}{x-}/{10-}{6-}{8-}{5-}
Buchalter: {x-}{x-}/{3-}{9-}{5-}{q-}

Buchalter called and Benyamine bet the river was well. Buchalter again called, and Benyamine showed {6-}{4-}{3-} for an eight-six to scoop it.

Ace-High Win for Negreanu

Level 7 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante

Limit Hold'em

Scott Bohlman raised to 4,000 from middle position and Daniel Negreanu three-bet to 6,000. The action folded back to Bohlman, and he called.

The flop landed {8-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} and Bohlman check-called a bet of 2,000 as the turn fell the {8-Spades}.

Bohlman checked, Negreanu bet 4,000, and Bohlman called as the river landed the {9-Clubs} and both players checked.

Bohlman tabled his {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}, but it would be Negreanu's {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs} for a superior ace-high that would earn him the pot.

After the hand, Eli Elezra chided them on playing so carefully.

Second Pair Win for Monnette

Level 6 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante

No-Limit Hold'em

Alex Foxen raised from under the gun to 2,000 and John Monnette called in the small blind.

The flop landed {10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{J-Clubs} and action checked through to see the {2-Diamonds} land on the turn.

Monnette checked, Foxen bet 2,300, and Monnette called.

The river of the {4-Spades} went check, check, and Monnette tabled his {A-Clubs}{10-Hearts} which prompted a muck from Foxen.

Zinno and Bach Can't Find a Card They Like

Level 6 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante

Badeucey

David Bach raised and got action from both blinds. Anthony Zinno took two, Stuart Rutter took one and Bach took two. Seeing he was ahead in the draw, Rutter bet out and got two calls. Neither Bach nor Zinno improved, but Rutter patted. On the big bet round, Rutter's bet won him the pot without contest.
