Defending Champion Pats and Bets; No Comeback for Wells

Frank Visser
Frank Visser
Level 3

Badugi

Robert Mizrachi raised in the cutoff and called when Ryan Hoenig tossed in a third bet from the small blind. Hoenig stood pat, Mizrachi drew one card, and Hoenig bet.

Mizrachi called to the second draw, where he drew one card again against Hoenig's pat hand. Hoenig kept betting, and Mizrachi took one final card after he called.

Hoenig quickly threw in more chips after the final draw, but no showdown took place as Mizrachi laid his hand down.

Earlier, Robert Wells had become the first elimination of Day 1.

2-7 Triple Draw

Jesse Lonis led out from the small blind and Chad Eveslage called in the big blind. Duane Fontenot then raised in the cutoff and Gershon Distenfeld folded the button, while both Lonis and Eveslage called.

Fontenot then bet, and Lonis and Eveslage quickly folded.

Eveslage admitted after the hand he thought they were playing Badeucey. "I never would've drawn two and called," he said.

"I was wondering what you were doing. I was like, I thought he was the best," Lonis replied.

Razz

Brian Breck: XxXx/7x - folded on third street
Chino Rheem: Kx5xAx/4x6x6x6x
Qinghai Pan: 4x4xAx/3x10xKx9x

Brian Breck completed, Chino Rheem raised, and Qinghai Pan three-bet. Breck got out of the way before Rheem called to fourth street.

Rheem took the betting lead and tossed in chips. Pan quickly called, and he check-called a bet by Rheem when the latter paired on fifth street.

Rheem caught a third open six on sixth street. Both players checked, and they did so again once the final street had been dealt.

"You win, Jack," Rheem said to Pan, revealing a king-low.

Pan turned over a ten-low, good enough to rake in the pot and chip up further.

Badeucey

"I've got the best mixed player in the world at my table. And the second best," Jesse Lonis said as he sat down at Mike Gorodinsky's and Chad Eveslage's table.

"Maybe in 2024. I can't win anymore," Gorodinsky replied.

Meanwhile, Aloisio Dourado, Duane Fontenot, and Eveslage went three-handed to the first draw. Dourado drew one, while Fontenot and Eveslage drew two. Dourado then bet from the small blind, Fontenot called in the big blind, and Eveslage also called in the cutoff.

Dourado again drew one, while both opponents drew two. Dourado bet again, and Fontenot and Eveslage again called.

Dourago stood pat and led out with a bet, Fontenot drew one, and Eveslage two. Both opponents quickly folded, and Dourado took the pot.

Badeucey

Chad Eveslage raised his button, and Aloisio Dourado defended in the big blind. Dourado wanted two new cards, while Eveslage requested three.

Dourado then check-called Eveslage's bet and tossed in two cards again. Eveslage just needed one this time, and another check, bet, and call followed.

Dourado was still on a two-draw on the final draw, while Eveslage kept his hand unchanged. Dourado then checked a third time, but a final bet by Eveslage awarded him the pot as Dourado quickly mucked.
