Draucker Clubs "omahabrian" for the Double

Chad_Holloway

Niveau 5 : 60/120, 0 ante

"Poker_guru" raised to 360 from middle position and Michael "someoneinlv" Odeh three-bet to 810 next to act. "omahabrian" then four-bet jammed for 15,840 from the button and Kyle "Kdruck" Draucker called off for 1,640 total from the big blind. The other two players folded and the hands were turned up.

Kyle "Kdruck" Draucker:
"omahabrian":

"omahabrian" was ahead but the flop gave Draucker a flush draw, which he hit on the turn. However, that same card gave "omahabrian" a set, meaning a paired board on the river would flip it back.

Fortunately for Draucker, it was the safe and he shipped the double.

WSOP Legend: Doyle Brunson's Final Bracelet, 15 Years Later

Chad_Holloway

Niveau 7 : 100/200, 25 ante

At the beginning of the 2005 WSOP, Doyle Brunson remained the co-king of the all-time bracelet count, tied along with Johnny Chan at nine. However, as the series drew toward its close in late June, that was no longer the case — Chan had overtaken him by winning No. 10 to stand atop the mountain alone.

Brunson was already phasing out his tournament play, having cashed precisely zero times that summer and just three times in the previous two combined, although one had resulted in a bracelet victory.

When it came time for Event #31: $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em 6-Handed, Brunson dusted off his tournament chops and made a run.

Action folded back around to Hempel who jammed for 41,231 and Hayes called off his 5,827 stack.

Do It for Crouton!

Chad_Holloway

Niveau 7 : 100/200, 25 ante

If you don't follow poker pro and commentator Jamie Kerstetter on Twitter, you probably should. Her tweets @JamieKerstetter are legendary and among the funniest in the industry, so much so that she won "Twitter Personality of the Year" at the 2nd Annual Global Poker Awards earlier this year.

Since 2009, Kerstetter has amassed $682,314 in live tournament earnings, including a career-best $44,937 for finishing 12th in the 2012 WPT Borgata Poker Open Championship Event. An attorney by trade, Kerstetter is well known for her commentary abilities. She's been featured alongside Lon McEachern and Norman Chad during ESPN broadcasts of the World Series of Poker, and currently co-hosts "The Rake" podcast alongside Marle Cordeiro. For several years she was also a co-host of the now-defunct LFG Podcast on PokerNews.

The New Jersey native actually resides in Las Vegas now, and she's on the bracelet grind today. Earlier in the series, she was kind enough to send us a photo of her set up, which is complete with her world-famous pooch Crouton.
