Raymer Down Early

Cottrell van Wingerden

Level 2

Action folded around to Grey Raymer in the small blind and he limp-called a raise by the big blind.

Raymer took two cards on the first draw while the big blind stood pat. The former Main Event champion then checked before calling a bet from his opponent.

On the second draw, Raymer took one card and once again the big blind stood pat. Raymer then check-called a second barrel fired by the big blind.

Raymer drew one more on the final round and unsurprisingly the big blind stood pat. Both players then checked following which the big blind showed down K♥Q♣9♠3♦ for the dealt badugi. Unable to beat that hand, Raymer, who has gotten off to a slow start in the tournament, mucked.

Greenstein Chips Up

Cottrell van Wingerden

Level 3

A player in the cutoff opened and was called by Barry Greenstein on the button as well as both blinds.

The blinds and cutoff all took one on the first draw while Greenstein opted for two cards. Action then checked to the cutoff who bet, receiving calls from all three opponents.

The second draw saw each of the players take one card before action checked through to the final draw.

All of the players drew one final card before the blinds checked. The cutoff bet, Greenstein called and the two remaining players got out of the way. Greenstein then showed down 9♦6♥3♠A♣ for nine-six badugi, taking down the pot to move his stack above starting.
