No Red for Eichhorn

Level 17 : 5,000/10,000, 0 ante

Badugi

Dennis Eichhorn got the rest of his chips in before the final draw against Scott Seiver. Eichhorn needed two with {2-Spades}{a-Clubs} while Seiver pulled one holding {7-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}. He improved slightly with the {6-Clubs} but it didn't matter as Eichhorn pulled all black cards: {6-Spades}{k-Clubs}.

"Good luck, guys," he said. "Fun tournament."

Leah Hangs in There, Doubles in Five-Bet Pot

Level 17 : 5,000/10,000, 0 ante

2-7 Triple Draw

Mike Leah has been grinding a small stack for a while and he's scored a few doubles to stay afloat, mainly in badugi hands that saw him complete four-card badugis.

Now he made his double in 2-7 triple draw, playing a five-bet pot predraw. Leah got in all but one small bet and it went into the pot after the first draw where he took two while his opponent Joe Wagganer changed only one.

Leah patted the second round and Wagganer still wanted to improve one of his cards. They both stood pat on the last draw and Leah turned up his {8-}{7-}{5-}{3-}{2-}. Wagganer sent his cards to the muck but he was reminded that he has to show in an all-in situation. His hand was partially reconstructed and it looked he made a nine.

Vitch Still Upswinging

Level 17 : 5,000/10,000, 0 ante

A-5 Triple Draw

Steve Sung bet after first draw and faced a raise from Chris Vitch, who was on the button. Sung called and took one, while Vitch, who had initially drawn two, was pat. Sung check-called and drew another card. He check-called a final bet but couldn't beat {6-}{5-}{3-}{2-}{a-}.

Left with just 14,000, Sung busted the next hand.

Shak Fails to Induce a Break

Level 16 : 4,000/8,000, 0 ante

Badugi

Dan Shak and Frank Muir put in four bets apiece in a battle of the blinds after the second draw. They each patted and Shak bet the end. Muir seemed perturbed but splashed in calling chips.

"Worst badugi," Shak said.

Muir opened {9-Spades}{7-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}.

"I was hoping I could get you to break," Shak said with a sigh, mucking {k-Hearts}{10-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}.

"I did break a king," Muir said, referencing an earlier street.

Simma Loses to Lord

Level 16 : 4,000/8,000, 0 ante

Badugi

Alex Simma raised in the cutoff and called when Kristan Lord three-bet from the button. Both kept drawing one all the way with Lord betting after the first draw and Simma betting the final round. Lord turned up what looked like a nine-dugi and improved to 190,000 while Simma dropped to a sub-average stack.

Seiver Doubles Through Vitch

Scott Seiver
Scott Seiver

Badugi

Scott Seiver raised and called a reraise from Chris Vitch, asking for two cards. Vitch took only one and each draw went identical to that with Seiver check-calling off his last 7,000 before the final draw.

Vitch rolled over {6-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}, while Seiver had the nut two-card draw with {2-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}. Vitch paired on the end with a {6-Clubs} and Seiver squeezed out a card.

"I'm 100 percent with the first card," he said simply, showing the {4-Spades} and improving even further to the nut three-card with the {3-Spades}.

Mr. Vitch Has a Fun Time Bluffing

A-5 Triple Draw

One of the best triple draw players there are, Chris Vitch, just showed why he's one of them.

He was in a pot against Joe Wagganer with action after the second draw. Vitch checked, Wagganer bet, and Vitch check-raised. Wagganer wasn't done yet and three-bet. Vitch considered his options and then called.

He stood pat while Wagganer drew one. And then the interesting part started. Vitch led out and Wagganer quickly folded.

"Sixty-four?" Michael Noori guessed Vitch's hand from across the table.

"Something like that," Vitch replied, throwing his {A-}{A-}{2-}{2-}{3-} face up into the middle. His huge bluff for most of his chips worked just perfectly and Vitch is now back to the average stack.
