Excuse Me, There's Some Backgammon in My Poker Tournament

Level 6 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,500 ante

Galen Hall, Tobias Leknes, and Shaun Deeb were discussing Hall's appearance in a live-streamed backgammon tournament. Hall stated there's basically no variance in the game, which Leknes and Deeb vehemently disagreed with.

"In hindsight, that was a dumb comment," Hall admitted before he raised his cutoff to 2,800. Leknes called in the big blind and drew one card, with Hall standing pat behind.

Leknes then led with a large bet of 12,500, which Hall swiftly called. Leknes tabled 9x7x5x2x for a nine-low.

"Every f*cking time," Deeb exclaimed as Leknes had apparently been winning the majority of pots at the table.

"This game is easy when you don't have to bluff," Leknes laughed in response.

Hall could not beat Leknes' hand and mucked his cards, after which the trio started their backgammon discussion back up.

Level 6 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,500 ante

Daniel Negreanu raised to 3,000 under the gun before Naoya Kihara three-bet to 9,500 in middle position. Per Hildebrand then four-bet to 30,000 in the hijack.

Negreanu quickly folded, while Kihara took about 30 seconds before tossing 7x4x3x2x into the muck. Hildebrand flashed a 10x as he took the pot.

"I swear I had the same hand. We should've both called," Negreanu said to Kihara.

Xavier Kyablue raised to 3,000 in the cutoff before Alex Foxen three-bet to 9,000 on the button. Kyablue then four-bet to 28,000, and Foxen called.

Kyablue stood pat, while Foxen drew one. Kyablue checked to Foxen, who slid forward a tower of red 5,000 chips to put Kyablue all in for his last 60,000.

Kyablue tanked for several minutes before giving up his hand, and Foxen took down the pot uncontested.

Kyablue called and drew one card, seeing his opponent stand pat in response. The duo then quickly checked to showdown.

Kyablue shook his head and tossed his cards into the muck before Glendinning could even show his 10x8x7x5x2x, sending the pot Glendinning's way.

Level 6 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,500 ante

David Stamm raised to 2,500 in the hijack and Alexander Wilkinson called in the cutoff. Stephen Moreschi three-bet to 10,000 on the button, and Stamm then four-bet to 35,000.

Wilkinson got out of the way as action went back on Moreschi. "It was nice playing with you," he told his tablemates as he moved all in for 45,100, and Stamm called.

Stephen Moreschi: 8x6x4x3x2x All in
David Stamm: 7x4x3x2x

Moreschi stood pat with his 8-6, while Stamm took one drawing to a seven. Stamm peeled the Jx, and Moreschi let out a sigh of relief and began pounding his chest as he survived to double up.

Calvin Anderson was first to act and tossed in 2,600 for a raise. Christopher Vitch responded with a three-bet to 8,000 on the button, which Anderson reraised to 8,000 once the blinds had folded.

Vitch did not want to continue with the hand and passed his cards to the dealer to give up on the pot.
