will_shill

Niveau 13

Action was after the third draw, with both Matthew Schreiber and Bertrand Grospellier having drawn one.

Schreiber suggested that he could bet blind and Grospellier could call blind as they had both drawn one.

After consultation with the floor, Schreiber bet blind and Grospellier did indeed call blind.

"Pair," said Grospellier tabling . Meanwhile Schreiber had also paired, but his was inferior and he lost the pot.

"That was the single way you could lose that pot," a tablemate said to Schreiber.

Wasserson Takes Some From Kelsall

Niveau 13

Eric Wasserson opened from middle position and was three-bet by Andrew Kelsall on the button. Wasserson made the call to send the two players to the initial draw.

Wasserson drew one on the first draw before checking to Kelsall who had stood pat. Kelsall continued his initial aggression with a bet, which was called by Wasserson.

Both players stood pat during the second draw and at this point Wasserson took the betting lead. Kelsall appeared confused but did end up tossing in calling chips.

As on the second draw, neither Wasserson nor Kelsall opted to take any more cards on the final draw. Wasserson bet again and this time Kelsall tosssed his hand away, saying "nice play". "That'd be a weird bluff", Wasserson remarked in reply as he raked in his newfound chips.

Both players took one card on the first draw after which action checked through to the second draw. Again, Ausmus and Claassen drew one. Ausmus then led into Claassen who called.

Neither player discarded any during the final draw and Ausmus checked to Claassen who fired off another bet. Ausmus released his hand to leave himself with just 18,000.

A few hands later Ausmus got the remainder of his chips into the middle but was unable to take down the pot, sending him to the rail outside of the money.
