5 Card Draw

Shaun Deeb opened to 2,000 from the button. Steve Zolotow and Sen Mu called from the blinds.

Zolotow and Mu drew three while Deeb stood pat. Deeb took down the pot after his bet of 6,000 folded out both opponents.

"A well executed heist," commented Zolotow.

"Why didn't you call?" asked Deeb.

"Was worried about him [Mu]," replied Zolotow.

Deeb answered back with "I would've been happy with two calls."

The game then changed to PLO where Alexander Fung raised from under the gun. Zolotow three-bet to 7,200 from the button and was called.

Fung quickly folded to Zolotow's pot bet on the A♥K♥7♠ flop.

"Another well executed heist," commented Zolotow as he took in the pot.

Big O

Max Kruse called in the hijack while Jay Kerbel called on the button. Daniel Negreanu came along in the small blind and Lawrence Berg checked his option in the big blind.

The flop rolled out K♥4♥8♦ and Negreanu lead out for 2,500, folding out Berg while Kruse called. Kerbel raised to 15,000, prompting Negreanu to raise to 52,500. Kruse folded and Kerbel called.

On the turn A♣, Negreanu moved all in for 23,000 effective.

"That was a terrible card for me, but I'm still calling," said Kerbel as he put in the chips.

Jay Kerbel: A♦K♠J♥5♥4♦ All in
Daniel Negreanu: A♥Q♥Q♣Q♦2♦

Kerbel was leading with his two pair against Negreanu's flush draw, but the river 3♥ put Negreanu out in front making the nut flush and an eight-perfect low to scoop Kerbel and soar up the counts.
