RWIII's Stop-and-Go Minus the Go

Level 20

No-Limit Hold'em

Preflop action between Philip Sternheimer (middle position) and Robert Williamson III (playing from the blinds), saw the latter deciding to keep just a few thousand behind to see a flop come {4-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}.

"The stop-and-go!" said Sternheimer, and Williamson laughingly agreed that was his plan. "But Robert," added Sternheimer. "The stop-and-go usually doesn't work if you say it's a stop-and-go!"

The table laughed, and after looking at those first three community cards Williamson checked. Sternheimer checked behind, then after the {Q-Diamonds} turn Williamson checked again, Sternheimer said he was all in, and Williamson had to fold.

Soon after "RWIII" was all in with {7-Spades}{7-Hearts} versus Christopher George's {Q-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}.

"A seven's coming, Robert," insisted Tom McCormick, and sure enough the flop came {7-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{3-Hearts} to give Williamson a set. The turn was the {8-Spades} and river the {10-Clubs}, and Williamson still has his seat for now.

More Triple Draw Success for Raymer

Level 19
Greg Raymer
Greg Raymer

2-7 Triple Draw

Brian Tate opened and Greg Raymer called, then both players drew two cards. Tate bet, Raymer raised, Tate three-bet, and Raymer called. The next two draws saw both players standing pat, with Raymer calling Tate's bets on both draws, going on all in on the last.

Raymer tabled {8-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{4-Hearts}{3-Hearts}, and Tate quickly showed he'd had {8-}{7-}{5-}{4-}{2-} to have been just barely outdrawn.

Konstantin Puchkov Eliminated in 18th Place ($8,843)

Level 19
Konstantin Puchkov - 18th Place
Konstantin Puchkov - 18th Place

2-7 Triple Draw

Konstantin Puchkov raised from middle position, Tony Hartmann three-bet from the button, and when the action returned to Puchkov he called all in with his remaining chips.

Puchkov took two cards on each of the first two draws while Hartmann took just one. The pair then each took a single card on the last draw, tabling their other four cards in order to squeeze the fifth.

Puchkov showed {7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} and needed a decent non-diamond fifth card to go with his hand, and he turned over the {Q-Clubs} for a Q-low. Meanwhile Hartmann had {7-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}, and when he tabled the {J-Diamonds} for a J-low, Puchkov was eliminated.

Raymer Makes Eighty-Seven

Level 19

2-7 Triple Draw

Sebastian Saffari opened with a raise under the gun and a short-stacked Greg Raymer three-bet the action. It folded around to Brian Tate who called from the big blind and Saffari flat called as well.

Tate announced that he would take two cards, Saffari took three, and Raymer took two. Tate checked and Saffari led out with a bet. Raymer called all in for his last 1,400 and Tate called, forming a side pot.

On the second draw, Tate and Raymer once again took two while Saffari stood pat. Tate check-called another bet and then drew one on the final draw while Saffari once again stayed pat. The action went check-check after the final draw and Tate fanned {J-}{6-}{4-}{3-}{2-}.

Saffari tabled {9-}{8-}{7-}{4-}{3-} for a ninety-seven to win the side pot, but ultimately could not best Raymer's {8-}{7-}{5-}{3-}{2-}. Raymer was able to drag in the main pot and now has about 64,000.

Jarmark Full House Spoils Christmas for Fitoussi

Level 19

Omaha-8

After a Michael Jarmark open, both Loren Klein (button) and Bruno Fitoussi (big blind) called, then the dealer started to move as if to deal Fitoussi an up card to her left. But she stopped herself.

"Whoops… not stud," she smiled and the table chuckled. "Omaha." She continued by burning a card and spreading a flop of {4-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{4-Spades}.

Fitoussi checked, Jarmark bet, Klein folded, Fitoussi check-raised, then Jarmark called. The turn was the {6-Clubs}, and Fitoussi bet out this time, with Jarmark calling.

The river brought the {9-Clubs}. Fitoussi bet one more time, and Jarmark called again. Fitoussi quickly tabled his {A-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} for an ace-high flush plus a 6-4-3-2-A low. Then Jarmark showed his hand — {Q-Spades}{5-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{3-Spades}. He'd flopped a full house to deny Fitoussi the high half of the pot.

"Oh no," said a smiling Fitoussi. "I saw the club… I thought it was Christmas. I thought 'I am back!'" Alas, Fitoussi remains with a short stack following the chopped pot.
