Is Chad Bluffing?

Badeucy

Norman Chad was heads-up on the second draw against William Lahti. After taking two, Chad put out a bet, as well as a button that read "bluff."

"Unfortunately, I can't beat that," Lahti said with a laugh. He folded and Chad showed {6-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{4-Spades} for a Badugi.

"That was a reverse tell," Chad said.

"What a shoot," tablemate Bradley Ruben added.

"Are you saying that's an angle," Chad answered, the entire table laughing.

Cantu "Willing to Gamble"

Big O

Action resumed on the flop heads up between Andrew Yeh and Brandon Cantu. The board showed {k-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}.

Yeh had led out from the big blind for 17,500. Cantu ramped up the aggression and slid out a stack of chips worth enough to put Yeh's remaining 68,000 at risk. Yeh went into the tank for a couple of minutes.

"I'll show it either way," said Cantu as his opponent thought about calling it off.

Eventually, Yeh folded. Cantu honored his comment and showed he had {a-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{2-Clubs}.

"I didn't want to gamble, but I'm willing to gamble," said Cantu.

"That wasn't a gamble," remarked a tablemate as Cantu scooped the nice-sized pot.

Battles Up Above 200k

Level 17

No-Limit Hold'em

Roger Battles opened to 7,000 and was called by Jack Maleeh.

Battles continued for 11,000 on {j-Spades}{8-Hearts}{3-Hearts} and Maleeh called. Battles overbet the turn of {k-Spades} and Maleeh called all in for his last 90,000.

Jack Maleeh: {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs}
Roger Battles: {3-Spades}{3-Clubs}

Battles had flopped a set against the turned two pair of Maleeh. The river {3-Diamonds} improved Battles to quads and he sent Maleeh to the aril.

Field Whittling Down

The tournament clock currently shows 83 players remaining, less than 20 spots away from the money.

Avina Halts Monnette's Rise

Level 17

Badugi

John Monnette had risen near the top of the chip counts so far on Day 2 but just had that momentum stopped in a hand against David Avina.

After both players drew two on the first draw, Monnette called a bet from Avina and took two again. Avina took one and bet out again.

Monnette called and both players took one. Monnette led out this time with a bet and Avina called.

"Jack," Monnette said, showing a jack-low Badugi. Avina, though, had {a-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{3-Spades}{2-Diamonds} for a ten-low to win the pot.

Joe's Rough Eight Sends Matsumoto Home

Level 17

2-7 Triple Draw

Action picked up on the river with both Dean Joe and David Matsumoto all in and a pot of about 80,000 in the middle.

Joe had his cards up, showing {8-}{7-}{6-}{3-}{2-} and had David Matsumoto at risk. Matsumoto showed {7-}{5-}{3-}{2-} and needed an eight, six, or four to keep his tournament hopes alive. The {q-Clubs} wasn't what he was looking for and he hit the rail.

Sheera, Prociak Chop Up Massive Pot

Level 17

Stud 8

Mitul Sheera: {x-}{x-}/{2-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{q-Clubs}/{x-}
David Prociak: {x-}{x-}/{7-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}/{x-}
Robert Campbell: {x-}{x-}/{2-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{9-Spades}/{x-}
Jaswinder Lally: {x-}{x-}/{6-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{k-Diamonds}/{x-}

On fifth street, Jaswinder Lally bet and was called by Mitul Sheera to his left. Robert Campbell then raised and David Prociak called, as did Lally and Sheera building a pot of more than 100,000.

Everyone checked down on sixth and seventh. Prociak showed {10-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{q-Hearts} for two pair, tens and sevens, to take the high, while Sheera had {a-Spades}{5-Spades}{6-Hearts} for a seven-low to chop the pot as Lally and Campbell could do nothing but muck their boards.
