Level 6

Big O

Travis Pearson raised on the button to 1,200 and was three-bet by Daniel Negreanu in the small blind. The big blind folded and Pearson called, with Negreanu only holding 6,600 chips behind.

Negreanu then checked the flop, and Pearson put forward a stack of yellow 1,000 denomination chips to put Negreanu all-in.

Negreanu debated briefly, but knowing he could re-enter if he busted, opted to make the call.

Daniel Negreanu:
Travis Pearson:

Negreanu had the best hand with his top pair and top kicker, but still needed to fade plenty, including a live low draw for Pearson.

The fell on the turn to put Negreanu in rough shape, and the filled up Pearson. Negreanu will return shortly with a fresh 35,000 starting stack.

The Bloodiest Game

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Level 7

Pot-Limit 2-7 Triple Draw

Mixed game players often refer to the big bet games in a mix as 'blood', with Pot-Limit Triple Draw to be among the bloodiest because of how quickly pots can escalate.

A brief example came recently as Craig Chait three-bet a 1,300 chip cutoff open from Cody Wells to 4,400. Wells made the call and drew two cards, while Chait patted his hand.

Chait then quickly fired out 9,800 after the draw, and after squeezing his cards to check for improvement, Wells folded to the bet that represented about a third of his stack, with two more draws and betting rounds to come.

Wells recently won a pot in the game to get a chunk of his chips back, but it's easy to see how dangerous and 'bloody' Pot-Limit Triple Draw can get.

Pot-Limit 2-7 Triple Draw

Just a couple of hands after winning the pot off of Cody Wells, Craig Chait was seen heading out the door in an even better example of how messy this game can get.

According to Andrew Kelsall who did the deed, Kelsall check-raised Chait all-in with and a two-sider with one draw remaining. After about a minute of deliberation, Chait called and opted to pat his hand.

After squeezing his final card from the previous draw, Kelsall saw that he had drawn a to make a wheel, eliminating Chait from the tournament and winning a 110,000 chip pot.

Five Card Draw High

Action was picked up after the draw, which according to Roland Israelashvili, saw Bob Mather draw two cards versus Israelashvili's pat hand.

Mather led out for 5,000 and was raised to 20,000 by Israelashvili. Mather moved all of his roughly 25,000 chips forward, and Israelashvili instantly called.

Mather showed trip queens, while Israelashvili showed an ace-high flush, eliminating Mather from the tournament, though he'll have about one hour to re-enter the tournament should he choose.
