Riesenberg Breaks the Winner, Busts

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 0 ante

A-5 Triple Draw

Jason Riesenberg closed the action on the river in a three-way pot, calling Alex Simma's bet after Kristan Lord's call. Both of the callers looked at Simma's wheel and Riesenberg was left with just over two bigs.

Riesenberg posted the big blind and his neighbour Jesse Hampton raised in the first position and the action folded to Riesenberg who called. They both changed two and got in the rest of Riesenberg's money.

Riesenberg drew one and Hempton stood pat. Riesenberg wanted to change one on the third draw again and Hempton opened his {A-}{2-}{6-}{7-}{8-}.

Riesenberg showed that he was changing an {8-} and left himself with {A-}{3-}{4-}{7-}.

"You broke the winner," Hempton spotted.

Riesenberg peeled a paint card and said his goodbyes before heading to the payout cage.

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 0 ante

A-5 Triple Draw

Brian Hastings raised, Nam Le called in position and Scott Seiver joined the contest as well. All three players took two and Le and Seiver again called a bet from Hastings.

Seiver changed one, Hastings stood pat and Le discarded two. Hastings bet again, forcing a fold from Le but Seiver countered with a check-raise. Hastings called.

Both Seiver and Hastings patted and Seiver checked. Hastings bet and Seiver let his hand go. He started investigating about the strength of Hasting's hand and the reply he got was: "It wasn't that good."

"Mine was three fours, mine was pretty bad," Seiver offered in return.

Badugi

Joe Wagganer check-raised after the second draw against Chris Vitch, who was under the gun. Vitch thought awhile and called and both players patted. Wagganer checked and Vitch thought a bit then verbalized a check.

"Nine-six" Wagganer announced, but it was met with {8-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{3-Hearts}{a-Clubs}.

The next hand, Wagganer bet after the second draw and Billy Baxter raised. Wagganer called and pulled a card, while Baxter patted. Wagganer check-called the last bet and Baxter verbally conceded. Wagganer showed a nut three-card to take it down.

A-5 Triple Draw

George Trigeorgis made it two bets in the first position and Chris Vitch called on the button. Mike Leah came along from the big blind and all players drew two.

Leah led out and Trigeorgis raised. Vitch gave up but Leah called. Both Leah and Trigeorgios drew one and checked the following betting round.

They took one apiece again on the last draw. Leah then led out and Trigeorgis made a painful call. Leah turned up {A-}{2-}{3-}{4-}{5-}, earning some "wows" from Trigeorgis.

2-7 Triple Draw

Bryce Yockey opened for a raise in the cutoff and Damjan Radanov made it three bets. Yockey called and drew two, with Radanov staying pat. Draws repeated after Yockey check-called a bet, with Radanov whistling with delight when Yockey took two again.

"Damn, man, how strong is your hand?" Yockey wondered.

Yockey check-called again and took a final card. Both players checked the end, and Yockey turned over a jack. Radanov spread {10-}{9-}{8-}{6-}{5-}.

Badugi

Frank Kassela defended big blind against a Nam Le under-the-gun open and both players drew one. Kassela check-called and drew again while Le was pat. Kassela check-raised after the second draw and Le made it three bets. It took a moment for the right amount to get in as Le used all T1,000 chips and was initially short.

Kassela called and both players patted, followed by Kassela calling a final bet.

"Six," Le said, fanning {6-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{a-Spades}.

"You're allowed to short the pot when you know it's coming back," Scott Seiver joked.
