Big O

Action was picked up on a completed board of A♣K♣K♥9♣10♣ in a hand between Paul Tedeschi in the small blind and the player in the big blind.

Tadeschi check-raised the river to 8,100 and his opponent was confused but had no choice but to put in the call with his full house.

After the call, Tadesch immediately took out his phone to capture the moment as he revealed Q♣J♣9♥4♦3♥ for a Royal Flush to drag the pot.

Pot-Limit 2-7 Triple Draw

Action was picked up with cards on their backs between Anton Smirnov in the cutoff and a player in the small blind with 17,000 in the middle.

Opponent: 8x7x5x3x2x All in
Anton Smirnov: 8x6x5x4x2x

While there was an all in and a call with both players tabling their hands, what became unclear was which draw they were on and whether or not it was accepted action that it went pat then pat.

The floor came over and ruled the action as both players standing pat given they had both tabled their hands and Smirnov won the pot, to add to his growing stack.

The flop rolled out K♦J♣7♣ and action checked around to Henson who bet 2,500 which only the big blind called.

On the turn, action checked to Henson again who bet 12,500 and the big blind quickly folded.

The WSOP regular raked in the pot as he celebrates his birthday.

Pot-Limit 2-7 Triple Draw

The Mixed Big Bet event provides a rare opportunity to play Pot-Limit 2-7 Triple Draw, along with the Dealer's Choice Event.

Tomoki Matsuda limped the button, the small blind potted to 1,200, and Matsuda called.

Both took two, the small blind led for 2,500, and Matusda called.

On the second draw, the small blind stood pat while Matsuda drew one. The small blind check-called a bet of 4,000 from Matsuda.

Both stood pat on the final draw. The small blind checked to Matsuda who bet 8,000 and the small blind reluctantly folded after some deliberation and Matsuda won a sizeable pot without showdown just before the break.
