Mizrachi Believes Linde

Frank Visser

Level 14

Limit 2-7 Triple Draw

Dylan Linde raised on the button before Robert Mizrachi defended his big blind. Mizrachi decided to draw three cards while Linde only needed one.

Mizrachi then check-called a bet and tossed one card on the second draw. Linde followed suit and the same betting sequence happened.

Both players stood pat on the final draw, but after Linde placed one more bet, Mizrachi laid down his hand and granted the pot to his opponent.

David Salituro

Level 14

Badugi

"Phil, remember that chapter you wrote about stack preservation? I might need you to give me a few lessons," a short-stacked Ray Fishman said to tablemate Phil Hellmuth.

Fishman then got around 25,000 in the middle against Robert Wells on the first draw. Both players took one, then Wells drew one while Fishman stood pat.

Wells took one more on the last draw and Fishman stood pat, turning over 8♠6♣3♥A♦ for a Badugi. Wells had 8♦7♣2♥ and was already drawing dead as Fishman doubled up.

"Be honest, Daniel. You were rooting against me," Fishman said to Daniel Negreanu.

"I'm not rooting against anybody. I'm rooting for me," Negreanu replied.

Paul Volpe and Ben Yu weren't as fortunate, as they have both been eliminated.

Level 14

Badacy

Venkata Tayi raised from the button and was called by Nick Guagenti in the big blind. Each player changed two cards on the first draw before Guagenti led out and Tayi called.

Tayi and Guagenti then drew one card each, after which they both checked. On the final draw, they both drew one more card and Guagenti came out with another bet.

Tayi quickly called, leading Guagenti to show 6♥4♦3♥3♦A♠ for a pair of threes and a three-card four. Tayi tabled 8♣6♠5♥2♦A♥ for an eight-low and an eight-badugi, which awarded him both halves of the pot.

Level 14

Badeucy

Dustin Dirksen raised on the button and Phil Hellmuth called in the big blind.

Hellmuth drew two, while Dirksen drew three. Hellmuth led out with a bet and Dirksen called.

Both players checked after drawing two and Hellmuth then drew one, while Dirksen took two again. Hellmuth checked to Dirksen who bet and Hellmuth called.

"You know I have nut, nut," Dirksen said as he turned over 7♣5♦4♣3♥2♠ to win the pot. Hellmuth spent a moment muttering to himself and staring at the cards before mucking.

"I don't think you played that very well. You led out, that's a bad bet. That's why you play tournaments. You should come to the cash games, we'll light you up," Dirksen told him.
