Long and Gorodinsky Win Uncontested Pots

Christian Zetzsche

Level 21 : 40,000/80,000, 0 ante

Seven Card Stud

Andrew Yeh: / folded on fifth
Philip Long: /
Ismael Bojang: / folded on fourth

Andrew Yeh completed and was called by Philip Long, bring-in Ismael Bojang also called as well. Yeh bet fourth street to get called only by Long, who then paired his seven and bet to win the pot right there.

Mike Gorodinsky: /
Bryce Yockey: / folded on sixth

Bryce Yockey completed with a ten and Mike Gorodinsky came along. Yockey bet his lead on fourth and fifth to earn calls. Gorodinsky paired the ace on sixth and his bet instantly took down the pot without any further resistance.

In the meanwhile, table short stack Paul Sokoloff further dropped into the dark red zone as every hand in stud games costs him at least an ante if not more. Bojang is not that far better off but has around three times as many chips.

Mike Gorodinsky: /

Mike Gorodinsky started the limping action and that led to the limps by Bryce Yockey, John Sokoloff, and Ismael Bojang while the bring in John Racener checked. Gorodinsky bet fourth and was called only by Bojang, who then folded on fifth when Gorodinsky bet once more.

Razz

Philip Long: //
