Glantz Gets Volpe's Chips

Level 18 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Limit 2-7 Triple Draw

Matt Glantz raised on the button and was called by Paul Volpe in the big blind.

Volpe drew two and Glantz drew one. Volpe then bet and Glantz called.

Both players drew one on the second draw and Volpe check-called a bet from Glantz.

Volpe drew one again on the final draw and Glantz stood pat. Volpe checked to Glantz, who bet — sending Volpe into the tank.

Volpe eventually opted to fold and Glantz scooped the pot.

Daniel Negreanu
Daniel Negreanu

Stud Hi-Lo

Ryan Leng completed on third street with the {a-Spades}, and Daniel Negreanu called with the {a-Clubs}

Negreanu then bet each of the remaining streets, including seventh with the players showing the following boards:

Daniel Negreanu: {x-}{x-}/{a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{q-Spades}{4-Clubs}/{x-}
Ryan Leng: {x-}{x-}/{a-Spades}{5-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}/{x-}

Leng called all the way, including seventh street, where Negreanu proclaimed "flush", as he showed {8-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{2-Hearts} in the hole for the ace-high flush.

Leng mucked his hand and Negreanu pumped his fist excitedly as the pot was pushed toward him.

Negreanu Wins Two in a Row

Level 18 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Limit 2-7 Triple Draw

Robert Campbell lost a pot to Daniel Negreanu when he broke up a pat and then called off a bet to get shown the {8-}{7-}{6-}{3-}{2-} as the winning hand by Negreanu.

Ryan Leng then raised and Negreanu came along from the small blind. Both took one each and checked, then took one each once more. Negreanu check-called a bet and took one while Leng patted. Negreanu bet and Leng double-checked his cards, then folded as he "tried to be smart" with a seven-high straight. Negreanu said in table chat he had a number six and raked in the next pot.

Leng and Cates Go Back and Forth

Level 18 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Limit 2-7 Triple Draw

In what began as a multi-way pot, after Robert Campbell folded following the second draw, Ryan Leng and Dan Cates patted their hands before the final betting round, where Leng bet into Cates, who called.

Leng showed {8-}{5-}{4-}{3-}{2-}, and his eight-perfect was enough to boost his stack to over four million chips.

No-Limit Hold'em

Shortly after, in another hand, Leng raised to 45,000 from the hijack position, and Cates called in the cutoff.

The duo checked the {2-Spades}{5-Clubs}{q-Clubs} flop, then on the {10-Diamonds} turn Leng check-called an 80,000 chip bet from Cates.

The river brought the {2-Diamonds}, and Leng checked once more. Cates sized up to 235,000, and again Leng called.

Cates showed {10-Spades}{10-Clubs} for a turned set to regain a lot of the chips he had lost to Leng in their previous battle.

Campbell Chips Up Through Leng

Level 18 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Robert Campbell
Robert Campbell

Stud

Robert Campbell is the short-stack on the bubble, but he just got a little healthier thanks to chip leader Ryan Leng.

Campbell completed with the {a-Clubs}, and Campbell called with the {3-Clubs}.

Campbell then check-called bets on fourth and fifth streets before sixth street went check-check.

Their boards read:

Robert Campbell: {x-}{x-}/{a-Clubs}{q-Spades}{j-Spades}{9-Hearts}/{x-}
Ryan Leng: {x-}{x-}/{3-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{j-Hearts}/{x-}

Campbell checked once more on seventh street, and Leng opted to give up, checking back and pointing at Campbell's board then saying, "that wins", suggesting that he couldn't beat Campbell's ace-high.
