Stein Forgets the Game and Busts

Level 16

Badeucy

Z Stein was on an extreme short-stack and was all in against Cong Tran and Nicolas Fountotos. Stein prepared to turn over his hand on the first draw.

"Oh, this is triple draw," Stein said as he sat back down and took three. In the sidepot, Tran bet and Fountotos called.

Stein took another two, Fountotos drew one, while Tran stood pat. Tran bet again, then called when Fountotos raised.

Tran had {10-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{6-Spades}{5-Hearts}{3-Clubs} for a ten-low, but Fountotos had him beat with {7-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{4-Spades}{2-Clubs} for a seven-low and a Badugi. Stein had {k-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} and was eliminated.

Former POY Schneider Scoops in Badacey

Level 16

Badacey

Tom Schneider's cards were on their backs in a pot against James Johnson. Schneider held {5-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{a-Clubs} for a five low and a five badugi, with Johnson studying his cards intently.

Eventually, Johnson flung his cards open onto the table. "I don't know," he said. "Is that any good?"

The dealer quickly surveyed the cards before gathering them into the muck.

"Six 'dugi no good, huh?" muttered Johnson aloud. "Nice hand."

Stockfish Boats Up Multi-Way

Level 16

Five Card Draw

Action picked up after the draw with three players looking at a pot of about 26,000.

Peter Gelencser bet 8,000 into the other two players. Immediately on his left, Jason Stockfish raised to 35,000. Tabak had last position and decided to make the call after some thought. Gelencser quickly released his cards.

Stockfish showed the {2-}{2-}{2-}{3-}{3-} for the full house and Tabak mucked his cards.

Cantu Stands Pat to Bust Marlowe

Level 16

No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw

John Marlowe stuck his last 47,000 in the middle before the draw and Brandon Cantu gave it some thought before calling.

"Pat," Cantu said, while Marlowe took one. Cantu turned over {9-Hearts}{8-Spades}{5-Spades}{3-Clubs}{2-Hearts}, while Marlowe showed {8-Clubs}{6-Spades}{4-Spades}{2-Clubs} and needed to improve.

He didn't get any help, flipping over the {2-Spades} to pair his deuce and he quickly got up and made his exit.

Jaswinder Lally

2-7 No-Limit Single Draw

Jaswinder Lally raised to 5,500 on the button and Kianoush Abolfathi three-bet all in for around 25,000 from the small blind. The big blind folded and Lally called.

Abolfathi stood pat and immediately got to his feet after Lally stood pat behind and tabled {8-}{7-}{6-}{4-}{2-}

Abolfathi showed {j-}{8-}{7-}{5-}{3-} and reached forward to grab what his drawn card would have been. He would have drawn a {6-} but even that wouldn't have been enough, and he was eliminated.

Bradley Beetz raised to 6,000 and Adam Friedman called from the button. The flop came {5-Spades}{6-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} and Beetz continued for another 12,000.

Friedman called to see the {6-Spades} on the turn. Beetz bet another 20,000, and Friedman asked to see how many chips he had behind before announcing he was all in. Beetz quickly folded.

Stud 8

Jason Su: {x-}{x-} / {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} / {x-}
Andrew Yeh: {x-}{x-} / {q-}{8-}{3-}{k-} / {x-}

With about 32,000 in the pot on fifth street, Jason Su bet and Yeh called. Su bet again on sixth street and Yeh called.

On seventh street, Su bet once more and Yeh shrugged and called again.

Su tabled {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}{a-Clubs} for quad aces, but no low. Yeh showed {6-}{4-}{2-} and took down the low portion of the pot.

Pat-Jack for Rhodes

Level 16

Badugi

A short-stacked Christopher Kostoulas raised and Joshua Rhodes made it three bets from the button. Josh Tabak cold-called out of the small blind, as did Kostoulas.

Tabak drew one, while both opponents stood pat. It checked to Rhodes who bet and Tabak was the only caller.

Tabak drew one and Rhodes stood pat, with Tabak check-calling a bet.

The draws were the same on the end, with both players checking. Rhodes tabled {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{4-Clubs} and took down the pot.

A short while later, Kostoulas' seat was empty having been eliminated.

Waxman Takes Most of Peters' Stack

Level 16

Stud 8

Matt Waxman: {x-}{x-}/{a-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}/{x-}
Jan-David Peters: {x-}{x-}/{2-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{k-Clubs}/{x-}

On fifth street, Matt Waxman bet then called a raise from Jan-David Peters. Both players checked on sixth.

Peters pushed the rest of his stack forward on seventh and Waxman called after some deliberation, showing {4-Spades}{4-Hearts}{2-Spades} for nines and fours. Peters was left with {a-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{7-Spades} and prepared to get up from his seat and head for the exit, but Waxman pointed out that he had more than the allowable bet and still had a few thousand left.
