Brown Chips Up Without Showdown

Christian Zetzsche

Level 20

Big O

Three ways to the 8♠3♠3♣ flop, Michael Balan bet to earn a call from Andrew Brown only while Jaswinder Lally got out of the way. That led to the 4♠ on the turn after which Balan bet another 40,000. Brown raised the pot to 180,000 and Balan folded near instantly.

Badacey

On the second draw, Jeff Lisandro and Chad Eveslage took one card each and Lisandro then check-raised for Eveslage to call. Both pated and checked it down as Eveslage tabled his 4♠3♠ / 5♣2♦A♠ for a three-card Badugi and wheel, while Lisandro had the 6♥ / 5♠4♣2♥A♦ for a sixty-five with a made Badugi.

DeWitt Takes From Roeder

Level 20

Badacey

On the second draw, Nathan DeWitt almost tossed his cards into the muck when Ryan Roeder told him "I just called your bet" and DeWitt then took one card after which DeWitt check-called. They patted and DeWitt bet for Roeder to call.

DeWitt showed the 5♠ / 7♥6♣4♦2♠ for a seven-seven and Roeder double-checked his cards before tossing them into the muck.

Shack-Harris Hammered by Aggressive Johnson

Level 20

Badugi
James Johnson raised in late position and got called by Luis Concha in the small blind and Brandon Shack-Harris in the big blind.

Concha drew two, Shack-Harris drew one, and Johnson took two.

Concha then checked and Shack-Harris bet. Johnson raised and Concha folded.

With action back on Shack-Harris, he now three-bet, but was met with a quick four-bet by Johnson.

This slowed down Shack-Harris who only had 35,000 behind at this point.

After over a minute of thought, he flashed the K♥ and sent it, and his other three cards, into the muck.

Bach Short; Kassela Out

Level 21

Just before the level changed, Frank Kassela was spotted on his way to the payout desk after a NL 2-7 Single Draw hand with Matthew Schultz.

Big O

At the same time one table over, the chips went in between Luis Concha and David Bach on a flop of 7♣6♠6♥.

David Bach: A♦10♠9♠5♥2♥
Luis Concha: A♥Q♥J♦J♥2♣

Bach had a gutshot to go with his nut low draw while Concha had the same nut low draw with a pocket par in his hand. The 7♦ turn and 3♠ river completed the board as both made the nut low, earning Concha three quarters of the pot.

Level 21

Caleb Shumard and Marco Johnson were sent to the rail while Ryan Hughes saw his stack decimated, all within what appeared to be two minutes.

Johnson was involved in a Badacey hand with Tomasz Gluszko, who raked in the pot while sipping an alcoholic beverage as another player remarked "your new favourite game".

Only one hand was still exposed as Johnson's 10♣ / 8♣6♠4♥3♦ for a ten-high and eight Badugi earned no part of the pot.

Hughes came up short in an all-in showdown versus Bryan Micon, who doubled for 86,000 with 10x8x5x3x2x in No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw.
