Bradley Ruben: [Xxxx6 / {7-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} fold on fifth

Robert McLaughlin completed, Aditya Prasetyo raised and Bradley Ruben three-bet. McLaughlin then four-bet and was called by both opponents. Prasetyo check-raised his pair on fourth as McLaughlin moved all-in for 72,000 total. Ruben reluctantly called and then folded fifth when Prasetyo bet once more.

McLaughlin had a huge draw to the low and wheel but ended up making a set of treys instead to scoop the large main pot.

Matusow Lets the Coin Decide Against Mizrachi

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 0 ante
Robert MizrachI
Robert MizrachI

No Limit 2-7 Single Draw

Robert Mizrachi raised to 48,000 from under the gun and was called by Mike Matusow on the button.

Each player drew one card and Mizrachi fired out a bet of 60,000 chips. After he tanked for more than five full minutes, Matusow requested a coin to make his decision.

One of his tablemates provided said coin and Matusow said, "Heads I call, tails I fold", as he flipped away.

The coin landed on tails, and true to his word, Matusow's cards were immediately whirled into the muck, and Mizrachi was awarded the pot.

Prasetyo Wins Without Showdown

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 0 ante

Limit Hold'em

Joining the action on a three-way three-bet pot to the {q-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{8-Spades} flop, Robert McLaughlin bet out of the small blind and Aditya Prasetyo called in the big blind. Matt Vengrin as the initial preflop raiser in the cutoff folded and they went heads-up to the {2-Diamonds} turn. McLaughlin bet once more to earn a call and then checked the {9-Clubs} on the river.

Prasetyo now bet and that sent McLaughlin into the tank. He tried to engage his table neighbour in some small talk and ultimately opted to fold.
