Ausmus Sends Schulman To The Rail

Andrew Knowles

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

The action folded to Jeremy Ausmus on the button who opened for 15,000 and Nick Schulman moved all in from the big blind for 36,000 total, which Ausmus quickly called.

Nick Schulman: A♣Q♥7♣3♥
Jeremy Ausmus: A♥Q♦8♥2♥

Both players had very similar hands and looked to be a good chance of a chop. The board, however, had other plans when it ran out Q♠6♣2♦J♥K♦ to give Ausmus two pair with queen-deuce to score the pot and send Schulman to the rail.

Level 15 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Four ways to a flop of 3♦6♦A♣, Daniel Negreanu was facing a a bet of 7,000, which he raised to 25,000 with two players left to act behind. They both folded and the initial bettor also folded.

Negreanu showed the A♦J♦4♣5♠ to which one of the other players in the hand said, "I folded top two-pair!" Negreanu then responded with, "And it's a good fold! Seriously... what you're hoping for on the turn? I got a 2, a 7, a diamond, top-pair...". Indeed, there were a plethora of cards that could have improved Negreanu's hand on the turn or river.

Weisman Is Baffled On The River

Claudio Elizalde

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

No-Limit Hold'em

On a board reading 3♠Q♥4♦10♠, Chris Brewer had checked in the big blind before Dylan Weisman placed a bet of 45,000, which Brewer called.

The J♥ on the river completed the board and Brewer then placed a bet putting Weisman all-in for approximately 140,000. Weisman, whose only decision now was to either fold or call off the remainder of his chips.

Somehow, Weisman's entire thought process became auditory as the table quieted and he pattered off the various combos of hands that beat him, as well as the various likelihoods.

Weisman, stealing glances at Brewer, continued his even-keel barrage of logic, then exploring Brewer's potential bluffs - at this point tablemate Kristen Foxen began to visibly giggle and, finally, after apologizing to the table for the amount of time he'd taken, Weisman said, "I don't know how to play this game... I fold."

PokerNews hung around to hear the table's interchange after the hand and Weisman told Foxen that he'd folded Kings.
