Stamm Raises River

Jeff McMillan

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Action was caught on the river with the board reading A♥8♣8♦7♥A♦. Anjelko Andrejevic bet 55,000 into a pot of about 90,000.

David Stamm made a big raise to 400,000 which sent Andrejevic into the tank. After several moments, he called.

Stamm stood up and put chips on his cards, apparently thinking that Andrejevic had raised but he turned over the A♠5♥ to win the pot.

"You would have thought about folding if he had raised?" asked a curious tablemate about Stamm's reaction to the possible raise.

According to the players, Sami Bechahed minraised from the cutoff. Ronald Sewell on the button called, as did the player in the big blind.

The flop of 4♠8♠2♦ got checked around.

The turn came the 4♣. Bechaed bet 50,000, Sewell called and the big blind folded.

The river was the K♥. Bechahed bet 265,000 and Sewell came over the top, putting his opponent all in for 685,000. Bechahed called. Sewell showed K♦Jx and Bechahed turned over A♠4♠ to take down a pot of around 1,650,000 chips with his trip fours.

Sewell was left with just 80,000 chips, but was soon able to run them up to 360,000. On his last hand, he moved all in over a raise by a player from middle position. Erland Melsom was next to act and went all in. Other players folded.

Ronald Sewell A♦7♦ All in
Erland Melsom: 2♥2♦

The flop 8x7♣2♣ gave Melson a set, and the turn J♠ and river 3♣ finished the job of sending Sewell to the rail.

Buffer, a longtime poker player, finished in eighth place for a career-best $212,423 after kicking off Day 3 with his trademark "it's time" introduction.

Buffer talked about finding his long-lost half-brother, Michael Buffer, and becoming his manager, the early days of the UFC, the similarities between poker and martial arts, his relationships with Joe Rogan and Dana White, playing poker with Tobey Maguire and Leonardo DiCaprio and the time he injured himself in a poker tournament before announcing the biggest UFC fight in history.

Uri Reichenstein raised to 50,000 in early position, and was called by Logan Anderson in middle position, and Andjelko Andrejevic in the big blind.

The flop came 2♦9♠8♠ and after Andrejevic and Reichenstein checked, Anderson bet out 175,000. Andrejevic then raised all in, which got a quick fold from Reichenstein, and Anderson made the call for 475,000 in total.

Logan Anderson: A♠9♥ All in
Andjelko Andrejevic: 6♠2♠

Anderson was ahead with his top pair versus the bottom pair and flush draw of Andrejevic. But the K♠ put Andrejevic in the lead with a flush. Anderson was now the one looking for a spade to make a higher flush, but the 10♦ sealed his fate, and was eliminated from the tournament.
