Zack Loses 50/50

Cottrell van Wingerden

Level 20 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 0 ante

George Wolff opened in middle position and was called by Daniel Zack in the big blind.

Both players took one card on the initial draw and then checked through to the second draw, at which point Zack and Wolff again took one. Zack then checked and called after Wolff bet.

The final draw saw Zack draw one while Wolff stood pat, after which Zack check-raised Wolff who, after some thought, called. "It's a 50/50" said Zack as he peeled his last card, telling the table he had not looked prior to the raise. "You're good" he continued as he drew a three card hand to send the pot over to Wolff, who held 10♣5♦3♠A♥.

Valentin Vornicu opened from under the gun before Matthew Leverty three-bet on the button. James Calder Knight called out of the small blind as did Vornicu to generate three-way action heading to the first draw.

Knight and Vornicu took one while Leverty stood pat after which action checked to Leverty who bet. Both of his opponents called.

As on the previous draw, Knight and Vornicu took one as Leverty again stood pat. Knight and Vornicu checked, Leverty bet and Knight called while Vornicu got out of the way.

The final draw saw Knight take one and then check after Leverty stood pat. Leverty checked back and showed down 10♠6♦5♥2♣ to scoop the pot.
