Ausmus Applies Water to the Burn

Frank Visser

Level 6 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Kahle Burns checked out of the big blind to Jeremy Ausmus in the cutoff on a flop of 7♥2♣8♣. Ausmus made a bet of 20,000 chips, which Burns then raised to 65,000.

On the 5♠ turn, Burns continued for 115,000 and Ausmus called. The J♦ river then slowed down Burns as he checked to Ausmus. Ausmus fired 200,000 chips and the action was back on Burns.

"I don't see how I can fold this," Burns stated. "Do you have two queens over there?"

He made the call and Ausmus indeed tabled Q♦Q♣ for pocket queens, winning the pot.

Level 6 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Daniel Negreanu opened to 12,000 from under the gun and Artur Martirosian three-bet to 40,000 in middle position. Isaac Haxton then four-bet to 87,000 on the button to bring quick folds from both opponents.

Ren Lin reached over the table to give Haxton a fist bump before running to the other side of the table and giving Martirosian a slap on the wrist. He then began singing in Chinese and opened up to the table about his financing.

"If I lose, I find a new sugar mommy!" he said.

The flop came 6♠9♦J♥ and Kim continued for 55,000. Spencer quickly mucked to take a small hit to his stack.

Level 5 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Seth Davies opened to 14,000 from under the gun and was called by Ren Lin one seat over, Orpen Kisacikoglu on the button and Isaac Haxton in the big blind.

Action checked to Kisacikoglu on the 4♣9♥8♥ flop and he bet 15,000. That was met by two quick folds from Haxton and Davies but Lin decided to stick around.

Both players checked through the 3♦ turn to the Q♠ river at which point Lin checked once more. Kisacikoglu fired off 53,000, prompting Lin to flip over the 2♣ as he folded his hand.
