Pot Limit 2-7 Triple Draw

Allen Kessler raised to 2,300 from the cutoff before Leonard August made it 5,900 to go in the small blind. Kessler complied with the extra chips and both players drew one card.

August then made a bet of 10,000 chips, sending Kessler into the tank for a bit. Ultimately, he stuck in his stack of 16,800 chips and August made the call.

August stood pat and Kessler drew one before both players stood pat on the final draw.

August tabled 8x6x5x4x2x, but was narrowly beat by Kessler, who showed 8x6x4x3x2x for the winning hand.

Kessler went on to complain about the game choice, leading to several players telling him to be quiet in no uncertain terms.

A-5 Triple Draw

Christopher Claassen was in the big blind and bet the second draw as Philip Sternheimer called in the cutoff.

Both players drew one and Claassen bet again. Sternheimer called and Claassen showed 9-6-5-3-A to win the pot.

At the same table, Ralph Rudd has built up a stack of around 110,000. "Old white-haired dude has all the chips," tablemate Daniel Fuhs joked.

Pot-Limit 2-7 Triple Draw

Motoyoshi Okamura took two on the first draw, while Leonard August drew three. Okamura then bet 3,000 in the small blind and August called in the cutoff.

Okamura stood pat and August drew two. Okamura bet another 8,000 and August again called.

Okamura patted again on the third draw and August took one. Okamura checked, and August took a peek at his cards before slamming his fist on the table.

Okamura turned over 9-7-6-5-4 and August, muttering to himself, mucked.

Julien Martini and Brian Rast have recently joined the field.

Big O

Brian Brunner raised to 2,100 in the small blind and Dan Shak defended his big blind. Both players checked the 2♥2♦3♦ flop before Brunner fired 3,000 chips on the 3♥ turn.

Shak bumped it up to 11,000 and received a call from Brunner, after which the J♠ river completed the board. Brunner checked to Shak, who tossed in 25,500 chips.

Brunner gave it some thought, but eventually made the fold. Shak was cordial enough to show the table his 2♠2♣ for flopped quads as he raked in the chips.

Badacey

Hal Rotholz, Anthony Arvidson, and Dustin Dirksen all drew one and Arvidson bet. Both Dirksen and Rotholz called.

The dealer spent some time bringing in the chips and giving each player change for the bet. "Why do mixed games take so long? And then they end up chopping anyway," Anthony Zinno said.

Dirksen stood pat, while Rotholz and Arvidson drew one and Arvidson bet again. Both players called.

Arvidson showed 7♥6♥4♣3♠2♦ for a low and six-Badugi, while Rhtolz had 9♦5♥4♠3♣A♦ for a five-Badugi as they chopped up Dirksen's chips.

"Alright, five minutes later," Zinno added as they finally moved on to the next hand.

No-Limit 5-Card Draw High

With a pot of 8,100 chips gathered by the players before the draw, Ben Yu drew one card from the small blind and Yueqi Zhu also drew one from the cutoff.

Yu then checked to Zhu, who made a large-bet of 9,500 chips. Yu went deep into his thoughts but eventually settled on a fold to grant the pot to his opponent.
