Dyer Plays it Sneaky

Ryan Gray

Level 12

No-Limit 5-Card Draw High

Brian Hastings raised to 6,000 from the cutoff and small blind Majid Yahyaei and big blind Greg Dyer came along.

Yahyaei drew two, Dyer three, and Hastings one. Yahyaei and Dyer checked to Hastings who made it 6,000 to go. Yahyaei folded, but Dyer put in the check-raise to 21,000, enough to put Hastings all in.

Hastings gave it due consideration, looking back and forth between Dyer's bet and his own stack, but decided to wait for another hand to make his move.

Liantonio led out on a flop of 6♥Q♠10♠ and Montgomery called. Both checked the 4♦ turn.

When Liantonio checked again on a 5♦ river, Montgomery bet 12,500. Liantonio screwed up his face as he looked at his cards, regretfully tossing them away.

Pot-Limit 2-7 Lowball Triple Draw

Big Blind Ari Dinov and Koray Aldemir each drew two and checked. Dinov took another one, and Aldemir again drew two.

Dinov checked to Aldemir, and Aldemir looked at his opponent, his focused gaze burning into Dinov's skull. Eventually he put out a bet of 16,500 and Dinov was forced to fold.
