Campbell Keeps Crushing

Level 7

Badacey

On the second draw, former WSOP Player of the Year Robert Campbell drew one, as did Kim Stone. Scott Seville drew two, and both Stone and Seville called when Campbell bet.

Campbell and Stone drew one on the final draw, while Seville stood pat. Campbell bet again and Seville quickly called. Stone folded.

Campbell turned over {a-Hearts}{6-Spades}{5-Hearts}{3-Spades}{2-Clubs} for a low and a Badugi, and Seville mucked.

"That's why you're the best," Stone said as Campbell eclipsed the 100,000-chip barrier.

Flachsbart Draws for a Knockout

Level 7

No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw

A player in middle position open-shoved his last 3,200 and William Flachsbart three-bet to 10,000 from the next seat over. The rest of the table got out of the way and action was heads up. The middle position player stood pat and Flachsbart drew one.

Opponent: {10-}{9-}{6-}{5-}{4-}
William Flachsbart: {6-}{5-}{3-}{2-} / {x-}

Flachsbart peeled an {8-} to make the number seven and send his opponent's ten-nine to the rail.

Bohlman Check-Raises for the Win

Level 7

No-Limit Hold'em

Scott Bohlman limped in from the small blind and Yung Hwang raised to 1,000 from the big blind. Bohlman called and the flop was {2-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{7-Spades}.

Bohlman check-raised to 3,500 when Hwang continued for 900. Hwang gave it a brief moment of thought before he tossed his hand in the muck to give up the pot.

Friedman Takes Big Hit, Then Gets it Back

Adam Friedman
Adam Friedman

2-7 Triple Draw Lowball

Adam Friedman was forced to call a 23,400 bet from Troy Peace after believing Peace had only called his bet, but had instead said pot.

Peace stood pat on the final draw and Friedman drew two, then folded when Peace moved all in.

"Sorry about that," Peace said.

"I'm mad at myself," Friedman answered.

On the next hand, Friedman and an opponent got into a raising war that ended with his opponent all in for around 20,000.

The all-in player stood pat on all three draws, while Friedman drew one on the third draw. "He has an ace. If I don't win this one," Friedman said when his opponent showed {a-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{3-Hearts}.

Friedman turned over {8-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{5-Spades}{2-Diamonds}, then hit a jack on his last card to make a better low and knock out his opponent.

Rast Peels and Busts

Level 8

Badugi

Brian Rast and Benny Glaser both put in 2,300 before the first draw, then called when Jaime Garcia re-raised to 3,200.

Glaser took two, while Rast and Garcia drew one. Garcia bet and both of his opponents called.

On the second draw, Garcia drew two while Rast and Glaser took one. Garcia bet again, and again Glaser and Rast called with the latter leaving only a few hundred chips behind.

After taking one, Rast moved all-in after the third draw and only Garcia called. Garcia showed {a-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} for a three-card Badugi.

"That's not good," Rast said as he slowly peeled his last card. He ended up with a {j-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} and wished the table good luck before making his exit.

Badugi

Norman Chad raised before the first draw and received two callers, then stood pat as his opponents both drew one.

Chad put out a bet and again got two calls, then stood pat again on the second draw. Another bet got rid of one opponent, while the other stuck around until the third draw and took one.

Chad patted again, and both players checked. Chad showed {9-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{6-Spades}{2-Diamonds} for a Badugi and won the pot when his opponent mucked.
