No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw

Following an open, Matthew Schreiber three-bet to 34,000 on the button. In the small blind, Shaun Deeb cold four-bet to 100,000. With the action back on Schreiber, he took a peek at Deeb's stack before he announced "all in" as the covering stack.

"Hey PokerNews, we're all in," and Deeb called off his 246,500 stack.

Deeb stood pat and Schreiber patted behind.

Shaun Deeb: 8x7x5x3x2x All in
Matthew Schreiber: 9x7x5x4x2x

It was a cooler scenario with both players being dealt strong pat hands, with Deeb the beneficiary.

"What a setup, just brutal," Schreiber lamented.

As further needle, Deeb took a look at what would have been Schreiber's card had he broken, only to reveal a 6x and Schreiber would have made a seven.

"Look Matt, you would have made it," Deeb joked as he pointed at the six.

"Ah yes, I should broken my nine-seven," replied Schreiber.

No-Limit Hold'em

Back-to-back no-limit hold'em hands got the table laughing as Shaun Deeb goaded Matthew Schreiber to "just raise blind" in the cutoff.

"Okay, I raise," Schreiber said after looking at his cards.

Jon Turner and James Obst called the 6,500 raise and all three players checked on the 3♣3♠4♣ flop and 7♥ turn.

Turner checked again on the 9♣ river and Obst bet 10,000. Schreiber raised to 26,000 and Turner folded. Obst laughed about his predicament and called.

Schreiber showed K♠9♠ for top pair, but he was pipped by the A♦9♦ of Obst and got an earful about it from Deeb.

"Great raise!" laughed Deeb. "You're playing great!"

The next hand, Schreiber raised to 4,000 and Deeb was ready to play.

"Why less this time? Let's find out," Deeb said as he three-bet to 20,000, which Schreiber called.

Schreiber checked on the flop of 9♦A♦8♠ and Deeb continued for 15,500. Schreiber questioned the bet size and called.

"I'm trying to confuse you," said Deeb.

Schreiber checked on the 8♦ turn and Deeb checked back. Schreiber then led out for 45,000 on the 5♦ river and Deeb complained that it was a "below average runout" for his hand, before folding.

Schreiber then proudly tabled Q♣J♣ for a bluff with queen-jack, which Deeb said was good anyway since he had J♥7♥.

"Now we've got a game!" said Erick Lindgren.

No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw

Jordan Siegel opened the hijack to 7,500 and was called by Carol Fuchs in the small blind and Ofir Mor in the big blind.

It was a fair fight as all three players drew one card.

Fuchs checked to Mor who led out for 20,000 from the big blind. Siegel looked pained as he decided to flick in the call and Fuchs quickly folded. Siegel got the bad news as Mor tabled 8x7x6x3x2x for the winner and Siegel mucked.

Both players discarded one.

Denis Strebkov: 8x6x3x2x

Pot-Limit 2-7 Triple Draw

Action was picked up after the second draw in a pot between Edward Jordan in the small blind and Shaun Deeb in the cutoff.

After thinking the hand was already over, Jordan had declared he had 8x6x5x3x2x, before realizing there was one draw left. Both players stood pat and Jordan checked over to Deeb who bet the pot of 101,000 with 1,000 behind.

"What have I gotten myself into?" Jordan lamented as he debated his decision. "I call."

"I have a seven," said Deeb as he tabled 7x6x5x4x2x and Jordan tossed his hand into the muck.

A couple of hands later, Jordan was eliminated.

Big O

Alex Epstein from the button and Sachin Bhargava from the big blind were heads-up to the J♦3♣2♦ flop with 21,500 in the middle. The rest of Bhargava's 47,000 found its way into the middle, and the cards hit their backs with Bhargava at risk.

Sachin Bhargava: A♦Q♠Q♥9♦4♥ All in
Alex Epstein: A♥10♣5♦3♦2♣

Bhargava had an overpair, a flush draw, and the nut low draw against the two pair and wheel gutter of Epstein. The 10♦ turn gave Bhargava the flush, and he held through the A♠ river as neither player made a qualifying low, and Bhargava scooped to double

Pot-Limit 2-7 Triple Draw

Brian Breck moved all in for 20,500 and was called by Renan Bruschi. Bruschi drew one and Breck stood pat. Bruschi then drew another as Breck again patted. Both players patted after the third draw.

Breck showed 7x6x5x3x2x for a seven-six, which was good to beat out the nine of his opponent with 9x7x4x3x2x.
