Edgar Leaves Wong Short

Niveau 15

Matt Edgar opened from under the gun and Danny Wong three-bet from one seat over. Action folded back around to Edgar, who made the call to send the two players heads-up to the initial draw.

Both players took one card on the first draw and Edgar checked to Wong, who fired out a bet. Edgar responded with a raise, which Wong, with no hesitation, re-raised. With the action back on Edgar, he paused, seemingly confused by the re-raise but ultimately tossed in calling chips.

Edgar took another card on the second draw while Wong stood pat before putting out another bet, which Edgar called.

The final draw saw Edgar take one more card and Wong once again stand pat. Action checked through and Edgar tabled . Wong, shaking his head, tossed his hand into the muck as Edgar told him he had broken an eight in response to Wong's re-raise after the first draw.

Thorpe's Secret to Success; Hand Holding

Niveau 15

Just after doubling through Shaun Deeb courtesy of a little help from Daniel Zack, the still short stacked Mike Thorpe found himself all in against Deeb again after the first draw.

Thorpe stood pat on the second draw while Deeb drew one. On the final draw Thorpe stood pat again and Deeb went into the tank. Deeb probed an uncharacteristically stoic Thorpe for information but to no avail. "It's killing you to not speak", Deeb said as Thorpe remained silent. Thorpe, meanwhile, had grasped Zack's hand in an effort to replicate the previous success of that strategy.

Finally, Deeb decided not to draw. "Nine-Seven", announced Thorpe, which was good enough to secure a second consecutive double up.
