A Curious Ruling

Level 3 : 50/100, 25 ante

Four players were in a hand on Benny Glaser's table and a floor person had been called for.

According to Scott Seville, he had put out two cards to indicate that he was drawing two. At some point before all of the other three had a chance to decide how many to draw, the dealer had mucked these two cards.

In order to make it clear to the remaining players in the hand Seville was indeed drawing two, the dealer chose to place two random cards from the muck in front of Seville.

However, Seville then pulled those two cards into his hand and that was when the floor was called.

After not one, not two, but three floor people were consulted, it was ruled that he would have to play his hand with those two new cards.

The hand proceeded without incident, with three players folding to a bet from a different player.

"I have to say," said Seville after he had folded and the hand had finished, "Someone broke a pair of fives, because I threw away ace-king and got back jack-five."

Chris Klodnicki Eliminated by Bernard Lee

Level 3 : 50/100, 25 ante

Chris Klodnicki moved all in from early position for 1,075. Bernard Lee called, as did the small blind before the big blind three-bet to 3,200.

Lee asked how much before moving all in. Everyone folded including the raiser.

Klodnicki drew two and Lee stood pat with {10-}{9-}{6-}{3-}{2-}. Klodnicki was drawing live with {9-}{3-}{2-} but was dead after he flipped over the {j-}.

Two in a Row for Felipe Ramos

Level 4 : 75/150, 25 ante

Felipe Ramos joined the field just after the break and just won two hands in a row.

On the first hand, Ramos called a raise to 475. Each player drew one and then checked. Ramos showed {j-}{9-}{5-}{4-}{2-} and his opponent mucked.

In the next hand, Ramos opened the button to 400. The small blind raised to 1,400 and Ramos took a moment to decide his next move. He then went all in for 6,000 and his opponent folded.

Niall Farrell Makes the Hero Call

Level 4 : 75/150, 25 ante

"I'm never sure when to hero call in this game," said Niall Farrell, agonizing over his decision. "I wish I had any clue what to do!"

He had drawn one and his opponent had drawn two. His opponent had then moved all in for only a couple of thousand chips.

In the end, Farrell announced, "It's hero time!"

His opponent showed {9-}{8-}{5-}{4-}{2-}.

"It's not hero time!" said Farrell, as his queen-low went into the muck.

Jared Bleznick Feeling Confident

Level 4 : 75/150, 25 ante

"I guarantee that I'm going to make the final table," said Jared Bleznick, who is in a confident mood midway through the fourth level of the day in the 2-7 Draw No-Limit Lowball.

"I mean it! Write this down. Eric Wasserson gave me 5/1 that I make the final table."

Tablemate Huck Seed's ears pricked up at the sound of this.

"If you're that confident, we can have a large bet on this," he said, in between an assortment of remarks ranging from the cards to the air-conditioning to the quality of Bleznick's play.

It remains to be seen whether the two have some more action, and of course whether Bleznick makes a deep run.

Max Kruse Gets it Right

Level 4 : 75/150, 25 ante

Max Kruse drew one, as did Michael Mizrachi, and the German checked to his opponent who bet 1,000.

"I got the card I need," said Kruse, "But I don't know if it's enough."

Eventually Kruse flicked in the call.

"Pair," announced Mizrachi, and Kruse took down the pot with a {10-}{7-}{6-}{5-}{2-}.
