No-Limit Hold'em

Matthew Schreiber: A♠J♦ All in
Richard Bai: A♦K♠

"See, that is where my no-limit inexperience comes in," Schreiber lamented. "Is this sh*t?" he then asked Brian Rast in the adjacent seat.

Schreiber looked on as the 6♠5♠2♥4♠8♦ runout provided no help, and he swiftly left the tournament area once his former chips had been shipped to Bai.

2-7 Triple Draw

Bryn Kenney raised under the gun.

"Have you been looking at deuce solvers?" Kenney jokingly asked Alex Foxen.

"Yeah, I've been studying button versus under-the-gun," Foxen replied in jest as he three-bet.

"Solver says..." Kenney began as he called, but he never finished his sentence.

The pair then drew one card each, after which Foxen bet and Kenney check-called. Kenney still needed one, but Foxen was satisfied and remained pat.

Foxen then bet again, seeing Kenney check-fold his hand. Foxen tabled 8x6x4x3x2x for the table to see.

"Solver says catch a three," Foxen then stated as he raked in the pot.
