Negreanu Needs All Five

Niveau 2

Daniel Negreanu opened on the button. The small blind got out of the way and Nathan Gamble called out of the big blind.

On the first draw, Gamble took two cards to Negreanu's one. Gamble then checked and subsequently called a bet from Negreanu.

Gamble stood pat on the second draw while Negreanu again drew one. This time Gamble did not check, instead firing off a bet, which Negreanu called.

The third draw followed the same drawing pattern as the second, with Gamble standing pat and Negreanue taking one card. Gamble put out another bet and was snapped off by Negreanu. Gamble showed but was pipped to the pot by Negreanu's .

Baud Wins Four-Way Pot

Niveau 2

Vladislav Denisov raised from middle position and was called by Dominik Baud on the button. The two players in the blinds also called to send action four-ways to the initial draw.

The small blind, big blind and Denisov all took two cards while Baud drew one. Action then checked to Baud, who led out. None of his opponents were prepared to get out of the way just yet, keeping play four-handed.

On the second draw, the same drawing pattern was repeated and once again action checked to Baud, who fired off another bet. This time the small blind folded and the big blind responded with a raise, which was enough to fold out Densiov. Baud, meanwhile, made the call.

The final draw saw both remaining players stand pat, after which the big blind led into Baud. Baud was not dissuaded, however, and raised. Shaking his head, the big blind called and was shown by Baud for the stone cold nuts.

Monnette's Raise Gets It Done

Niveau 2

John Monnette raised from under the gun and faced a three-bet from a player in the big blind. Monnette made the call to send the two players to the initial draw.

Monnette drew two cards to his opponent's one and then faced a bet, which he flatted.

On the second draw both players took one card. The big blind then bet again but this time Monnette responded with a raise, enough to get his opponent off of his hand.

Kessler's Advice, Draw Four

Niveau 3

Dominik Baud limped from the cutoff as did Allen Kessler in the small blind. Cody Espeseth checked his option out of the big blind to keep action three-handed headed to the initial draw.

The first draw saw both Kessler and Espeseth draw four while Baud took two. Kessler then checked without looking at his drawn cards and Espeseth followed suit. Baud checked behind.

"I wish I would've bet", said Kessler as he took one on the second draw. Both Espeseth and Baud drew two, after which Kessler led out, eliciting folds from his opponents. "That's how you do it, draw four", joked Kessler as he raked in the pot.
