connorrichards

Niveau 19

No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw

In a heads-up pot, Paul Volpe drew two and Marco Johnson drew one before Volpe checked and Johnson bet 52,000. Volpe sat still and went in the tank before announcing all-in for about 250,000. Johnson then went in the tank before calling.

Volpe showed 8♦7♣4♠3♦2♥ for an eight-seven smooth and it was good to win the pot as his opponent mucked in defeat.

Picking up the action on fifth street, Scott Bohlman bet and was called by Marco Johnson, who then paired on sixth. Bohlman bet again to earn a call and bet seventh with a few chips behind. Johnson raised and Bohlman gasped a brief smile before he moved forward the chips, seemingly knowing that his fate had already been sealed.

Johnson announced a straight and showed his six to go with it, while Bohlman's seven-six couldn't earn a chop.

Hennigan Picks Wrong Game; Falls Behind Bohlman

Niveau 18

Badacey

James Obst was all-in after the first draw against John Hennigan and both discarded two each. On the final draw, they took one each and revealed the cards.

James Obst: 5♠4♦3♥A♣
John Hennigan: 6♦ / 5♦3♣2♥

Hennigan needed the A♠ to scoop and knock out Obst but instead received the 7♠ to chop, as the J♣ for Obst made the worse A-5 hand.

"I shouldn't have picked this game," Hennigan sighed and then attempted to knock out Scott Bohlman next.

On the final draw, they discarded one each and the cards were flipped over.

Scott Bohlman: 6♣ / 5♣4♥A♦
John Hennigan: 7♣6♦5♥2♠

Bohlman spiked the 7♠ to pull ahead and Hennigan paired up with the 6♠ for Bohlman to double.
