Weisman Takes From Elezra

Christian Zetzsche

Level 1

Limit Hold'em

Eli Elezra raised the button and Dylan Weisman three-bet out of the small blind for Elezra to call.

"Not a good board," Weisman gritted as he check-called bets on the 9♣7♥6♦ flop and 8♠ turn. They checked the 4♦ river and Elezra asked "do you have one pair?" and Weisman nodded, as he revealed the 5♦5♣.

That one pair was also the bottom end of the straight and enough to win the pot as Elezra mucked 6♥3♥.

Dan O'Hair

Level 1

No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw

Dylan Weisman raised to 4,500 from the cutoff and was called by Viktor Blom in the big blind.

Both players drew one and then checked down.

"King," said Blom.

"King is good," Weisman replied — prompting Blom to fan out Kx6x5x4x3x as advertised and collect the pot.

Cottrell van Wingerden

Level 1

Pot-Limit Omaha

Eli Elezra limped in the small blind and Dylan Weisman raised to 4,500 in the big blind. Elezra called to see a flop.

The flop came J♠6♥10♠, prompting Elezra to check to Weisman, who checked behind.

Elezra led out for 7,000 on the K♦ turn and Weisman called.

There would be no cheap showdown after the 7♥ river as Elezra pushed 30,000 into the middle. Weisman quickly folded to concede the pot.

Level 1

Pot-Limit Omaha

David Benyamine raised to 4,000 from the cutoff and found one caller in Naoya Kihara in the big blind.

Both players checked on the 8♥5♣2♠ flop and then Kihara bet 6,000 on the 9♥ turn. Benyamine called.

The 6♣ completed the board and Kihara sized up for a 16,000 bet. This time Benyamine let his hand go and Kihara collected the pot.

Christian Zetzsche

Level 1

No-Limit Hold'em

Scott Seiver raised and was called by Iraj Parvizi before Talal Shakerchi bumped it up to 27,500. Only Parvizi called and folded the J♥10♣4♥ flop when Shakerchi continued, getting shown the K♦K♣.

Shortly after, Parvizi was involved in an even bigger pot when he led the 8♥5♥3♦6♣ turn for 30,000 and Erick Lindgren called. Parvizi bet another 45,000 on the 3♥ river and Lindgren gave it a few seconds of consideration before raising to 180,000 for most of his stack.

Parvizi pondered about the decision for only a few seconds and called, after which Lindgren instantly exclaimed a loud "oh fuck" and showed his 6♦4♦ for a missed straight draw but also sixes and treys.

Parvizi, however, only had the A♠5♠ and ended up second-best to lose a big portion of his stack.

Lindgren apologized for his outburst immediately in the aftermath of the hand.

Seiver raised the next hand but folded when Parvizi pushed all-in.

Scott Seiver raised to 3,500 on the button and was called by Erick Lindgren in the small blind and Matthew Ashton in the big blind.

Action checked through on the A♣5♠6♠ flop and it was checked to Seiver on the 6♣ turn.

Seiver bet 4,000 and Lindgren check-raised to 11,000. Ashton and Seiver both quickly let their hands go and Lindgren dragged the pot.

Level 1

Omaha Hi-Lo

Dylan Linde opened from under the gun and Daniel Negreanu three-bet in middle position. Matthew Ashton then put in a four-bet on the button with both Linde and Negreanu coming along to see a flop.

All three players checked through the 4♣K♠5♠ flop to the 10♣ turn at which point Linde led out. Negreanu and Ashton made the call.

Action checked to Ashton following the 7♣ river. He tossed out a bet and then tabled A♥K♥10♦2♥ after Linde and Negreanu called. Linde turned over A♦Q♠J♦5♦ while Negreanu held A♠Q♣5♣2♣ to quarter his opponents.

Razz

Andres Korn: XxXx / Ax10x6x - folded on fifth street
Eli Elezra: XxXx / 7x3x4x

Andres Korn completed and Eli Elezra raised for Korn to make it three bets. "Okay, I believe you now," Elezra grinned and just called. Elezra bet his advantage on fourth to earn a call and bet again fifth to force a fold.

Viktor Blom: XxXx / 8x2x9xKx / Xx
Dylan Weisman: XxXx / 3x8x8x3x / Xx

Viktor Blom completed and called a raise by Dylan Weisman, who then bet fourth and fifth street. Blom check-called twice before they checked sixth. Blom checked again seventh and then folded to a bet by Weisman.
