Christian Zetzsche

Level 19

Stud Hi-Lo Regular

Chad Eveslage: 2♦3♠6♥4♣5♣A♥10♠
Jeff Lisandro: 2♣5♦3♦4♥6♠6♣K♦

The boards of both players were already mashed to display the hand strength and Chad Eveslage took three quarters of the pot with a six-high straight and superior low. By doing so, Eveslage moved up to nearly half a million in chips to continue his early rise on Day 2.

Vengrin Eliminated in Crazy Three-Way Action

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Christian Zetzsche

Level 20

Badacey

Matt Vengrin, Chip Jett and Bryan Micon all invested 40,000 each prior to the first draw on which Vengrin and Jett took two new cards. "Just one for the pro," Micon declared. Vengrin bet and his two opponents called.

On the second draw, Vengrin and Micon took one each while Jett took two. The bet by Vengrin was called once more by both opponents before Vengrin then moved all-in for 4,000 before declaring his final draw.

Once that was cleared up, Vengrin took one card again as did Micon while Jett patted. The all-in of Vengrin prompted the all-in of Jett for 10,000 as well and Micon called to put two players at risk.

Vengrin tabled his 6♥ / 5♥4♠3♣2♦ for a five-high Badugi and sixty-five but it was no good. Jett had the 6♣ / 4♥3♠2♣A♥ for the nut Badugi and better low, while Micon exposed an eight-Badugi that was no good either. "I started with a made eight Badugi", Micon mentioned in table chat.
