Eveslage Wins Small Showdown Pot

Christian Zetzsche

Level 12

No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw

John Racener made it 6,500 to go and was called by Chad Eveslage in the big blind. Eveslage discarded two while Racener patted and they checked. Eveslage tabled a 10x9x7x3x2x and that won the pot.

While the hand played out, Mike Gorodinsky and Jordan Siegel had poked fun at Eveslage for his run-good in mixed games.

"I met him the first time last year. When we played Badeucey, he asked me if I want to see his cards to learn the game," Siegel told a brief story.

Level 12

In two different 2-7 variants, the stacks of Phil Hellmuth and Christopher Claassen were decimated while Sampo Ryynanen as well as [Removed:508] chipped up.

Hellmuth was not amused when Ryynanen got there with the 8x7x5x4x3x and mucked his cards with force in the next hand.

"You got the raise ready, so I know you got four good cards," he gasped in table chat.

Pot-Limit 2-7 Triple Draw

Claassen clashed with Crivello when he bet 20,000 and called a raise to 50,000 after the second draw. Both then patted the final draw and Crivello moved all-in after, which Claassen called. Crivello tabled the 7x6x5x3x2x and Claassen mucked the 8x6x4x3x2x.

Benny Glaser was knocked out shortly after before Hellmuth then also lost the remainder of his short stack as well to leave the table four-handed.

Level 12

No-Limit Hold'em

Cary Katz never got much going despite entering the day with an above-average stack. Just before his table broke, Katz was all-in preflop with the A♣K♥ and John Hennigan looked him up with the inferior A♥J♦.

However, Hennigan paired his weaker kicker on the J♠10♦7♦6♥7♣ runout and that spelled the end for Katz.

Andrew Robl raised from the small blind and Chad Eveslage defended out of the big blind.

Robl checked on the flop of 10♥5♣3♠ and Eveslage bet 9,000. Robl called. Robl checked again on the 8♣ turn and Eveslage bet 28,000. Robl eyed his opponent down and crossed his arms as he considered his action. He took another peek at his cards and called.

Robl checked a third time on the 3♦ river and Eveslage checked back. Robl tabled J♣10♦ for a pair of tens and Eveslage folded what he said was ten-seven to earn Robl the pot as those at the table needled Eveslage about his recent heater.

"He finally lost a pot!" said Mike Gorodinsky.

"A moment of silence, please," added Jordan Siegel.

Robert Wells was all-in prior to the final draw out of the small blind after which Andrew Robl bet in the cutoff and Chad Eveslage called on the button. Wells stood pat while Robl took one and Eveslage took two on the final draw. Robl bet again and Eveslage called.

Wells tabled the 9♠ / 7♦6♣4♠3♥ for a Seven-Dugi and ninety-seven. The J♦8♥ / 5♥3♠2♦ of Eveslage for a three-card Badugi and jack was no good, as Robl showed his 6♦ / 5♠4♦3♣2♥ for the Five-Dugi to win half the pot and side pot against Eveslage.
