McCormick Teaches His Opponent a Lesson

David Salituro

Level 3 : Blinds 400/800, 0 ante

Omaha Hi-Lo

Three-handed on a flop of 10♣2♥A♣, a player in the cutoff bet as action went on Tom McCormick in the small blind.

"Why did you bet so fast. And it's supposed to be 8,000. You bet too fast and the wrong amount, other than that you're doing fine," McCormick joked as he called.

Jason Papastavrou also called in the big blind as the K♥ fell on the turn. The cutoff bet again and only McCormick called this time.

The river came the Q♦ and McCormick called another bet.

"I have a pair of fours," his opponent said. McCormick turned over A♥K♣6♦5♦ for two pair to win the pot.

On sixth street, Zappulla continued betting, again getting a call from Trail.

Seven Card Stud

Jason Papastavrou: XxXx/A♣J♠4♦9♥
Tom McCormick: XxXx/6♠J♦2♦10♥ - folded sixth street
Brad Ruben: XxXx/3♠ - folded bring-in

After Tom McCormick completed Brad Ruben's bring-in, Jason Papastavrou made it two bets to go. Ruben folded but McCormick called.

Papastavrou then bet fourth, fifth and sixth streets, with McCormick coming along until sixth when he removed his hat and rubbed his forehead, seemingly pained by the decision he faced.

After some thought, he elected to fold, sending the pot to Papastavrou.

Queens Good For Shoreman

David Salituro

Level 3 : Blinds 400/800, 0 ante

Seven Card Stud

Jon Shoreman: XxXx/Q♠Q♥J♣5♣/Xx
Christopher Claassen: XxXx/6♠7♠J♦7♦/Xx

Jon Shoreman bet on fifth street with a pair of queens showing and Christopher Claassen called.

Claassen made a pair of sevens on sixth and called another bet from Shoreman. Both players checked on seventh and Shoreman motioned to his board that it was as good as his hand was going to get.

Claassen couldn't beat the queens and sent his cards into the muck.

David "ODB" Baker took a seat at this table, while Scott Seiver also just registered for the event.
