Mike Patrick

Level 27

Stud 8 or Better

Tomasz Gluszko: //
Richard Tatalovich: //

After Tomasz Gluszko completed, Richard Tatalovich defended his bring-in.

Tatalovich paired his door card deuce on fourth then bet fourth and fifth streets, with Gluszko calling each street.

On sixth, Tatalovich continued betting but was this time raised by Gluszko.

After a couple of minutes of thought, Tatalovich opted to call.

The players checked seventh street and Tatalovich asked Gluszko what he had to beat. Gluszko showed two pair, aces and fives, which Tatalovich couldn't beat.

Gluszko wasn't done there either.

Tomasz Gluszko: /
Richard Tatalovich: / -folded sixth street

On the following hand, with Tatalovich again showing an open pair on fourth street, he bet and was raised by Gluschko.

"Here we go again," said Tatalovich before making the call.

On fifth street he checked to Gluszko and was faced with another bet, with Gluszko playfully adding "all in", though the bet was only for the allowed 200,000. Tatalovich went into the tank, with Gluszko teasingly saying "good fold buddy," but Tatalovich eventually called to see sixth street.

After picking up a jack, Tatalovich shook his head and checked, with Gluszko tossing out another bet.

"I guess you've got my number," said Tatalovich as he mucked his hand and sent another pot to his Polish opponent.

Mike Patrick

Level 27

Stud

Lawrence Brandt: //
Yarron Bendor: //
Roberto Marin: / - folded third street

Lawrence Brandt brought in and was called by Roberto Marin. Yarron Bendor then completed, and with action back on him, Brandt turned his bring-in into two bets, eliciting a fold from Marin.

"Aces, or rolled up fours," asked Bendor before tossing in another 100,000 to call.

On fourth street, Bendor checked and Brandt checked behind.

Having seen that action, Bendor felt confident to bet 200,000 of his remaining 240,000 chips on fifth street. Brandt raised him all in and after Bendor called, the hands were revealed.

Brandt had nothing more than ace-jack high, with three to a flush while Bendor was ahead with split kings that had yet to improve.

Brandt however then hit running jacks to make trips, while Bendor didn't improve, leaving Bendor stunned as he saw his chips passed across the table with his day ending in an unceremonious fashion.
