mnuwwarah

Niveau 7 : 400/800, 100 ante

Ronnie Bardah called down for most of his chips in a three-way pot against Walter Treccarichi and a player with two spades and three to a low, who had the betting lead the whole way.

Bardah: /
Seat 6: /
Treccarichi: / (folded on sixth street)

Treccarichi gave it up on sixth, leaving Bardah heads up. He called, leaving 100 back, which he called off on the end. His opponent could only show down for an eight-low and Bardah had for a pair of eights to grab the high half and survive.

Niveau 7 : 400/800, 100 ante

James Chen: //
John Holley: //
Opponent: //

John Holley completed and was called by one player. James Chen then made it two bets with just 1,100 total in his stack. Holley then made it three bets and the other player called. Chen called as well creating a small side pot of 200 chips.

On fourth, Holley bet and the other player called. Holley bet again on fifth and the other player called. On sixth, Holley checked and the other player checked behind but on seventh, Holley bet and the other player decided to fold.

"Missed the low but made a pair of jacks," Holley said as he collected the side pot showing his .

Chen made a full house though with his and that meant he would earn a triple up and move over 4,000. Holley though is on a massive uptick, building up a stack of over 40,000 and he added a bit more in that pot by collecting the side pot.

MrCleverFox

Niveau 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Mikhail Semin: //
Norman Chad: //
Tim Burt: / (folded on fourth street)
Opponent: / (folded on fourth street)

Mikhail Semin was the bring in and one player called before Norman Chad completed. Tim Burt called as did Semin and the other player as well.

On fourth, Chad bet again. This time only Semin called.

"Just me and the Russian?" Chad asked.

Chad checked on fifth and Semin checked as well.

"Just in case," Semin said.

On sixth, Chad checked. Semin put out a bet and Chad called. Then on seventh, both players checked. Chad showed his for a pair of eights, and it was good enough to best Semin who only flashed his before mucking his hand. Chad took down pot and built his stack back over the starting point.
