Prociak, Lally Tangle Again

Level 21

Limit 2-7 Triple Draw

David Prociak and Jaswinder Lally just played another pot against each other, only this time it was Prociak who would come out in front.

Prociak raised from the cutoff before the first draw, Lally called from the button, and Dylan Smith came along from the big blind. Prociak and Lally took one, while Smith drew two.

Prociak bet again and only Lally called. He then patted on the second draw. "I hope this is the right one," Lally said as he took one and called.

Prociak patted and bet after the third draw, putting the decision on Lally. "Almost the right one, right," he asked Lally. The defending champion decided to give up the pot and threw his cards into the muck.

Friedman Gets a Fold

Level 21
Adam Friedman
Adam Friedman

Pot Limit Hold 'Em

Action picked up on the flop with a large pot of over 100,000 in the middle. Adam Friedman had checked from the hijack to Alfred Atamian on the button. Atamian put out a bet of 32,000.

Friedman slid out a stack of 25,000 chips that covered Atamian for about 170,000 effective.

"See, this game was in the muck. All of a sudden, Pot Limit Hold 'Em and we got action," said another player at the table not in the hand.

"Are those all greens?" asked Atamian.

"Yeah, I put you all in," said Friedman.

Atamian thought for a while with his tournament life at risk. After a couple of minutes, he decided to fold.

"Show him the {j-Hearts}{q-Hearts}, said a tablemate. No, don't show him. Don't show him the {2-Hearts}{4-Hearts} you sicko."

Friedman didn't show anything, just mucked his cards and added the chips to his stack.

Monnette's Run Comes to an End

Level 21

Big O

John Monnette had raised enough from the big blind pre-flop to leave himself only 6,000 behind and was called by both Faith Klimczak and Jorge Walker.

The flop came {2-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{q-Clubs} and Monnette stuck in his last chips. Walker raised to 30,000 and Klimczak called to see the {7-Spades} on the turn.

Both players checked through to the {2-Diamonds} when Klimczak put out a bet, eliciting a quick fold from Walker.

"Queens-full and a low," Klimczak said, turning over {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{a-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}. Monnette showed {a-Spades}{k-Spades}{10-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{2-Spades} before making his exit.

Phan Doubles Through Eichhorn

Level 21

Badugi

Young Phan was all in for 46,000 before the draws against Dennis Eichhorn.

Phan stood pat all three draws, while Eichhorn drew one on each draw.

"What have I got to beat?" asked Eichhorn and Phan tabled {j-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{3-Spades} for a jack badugi.

Eichhorn turned over {5-Hearts}{2-Spades}{a-Clubs} and Phan jokingly slid his six of diamonds across to "complete" a six badugi. Eichhorn actually drew the {6-Clubs} to make a three-card five and Phan doubled up.

Lally, Bransford Chop Up Prociak

Level 21

Badeucy

On the second draw, David Prociak put out a bet and Jaswinder Lally called. Charles Bransford then raised from the small blind and both opponents called.

Prociak and Bransford drew one while Lally stood pat. Bransford and Prociak checked to Lally who bet and was met by two calls.

Lally showed {8-Spades}{6-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{2-Spades} for an eight-six low and Badugi, while Bransford had {a-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{6-Spades}{4-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} for a better Badugi. Prociak mucked as his two opponents chopped up his chips.

Lally Wins a Weird One

2-7 Triple Draw

Joseph Couden raised pre-draw and Jaswinder Lally three-bet out of the blinds. Before Couden could act, Lally tapped the table, signifying he was standing pat.

"I haven't acted on my hand yet," said Couden.

"Sorry, I was already standing pat," replied Lally.

Couden then decided to put in the fourth bet and Lally called.

Lally indeed stood pat, and so did Couden. Lally check-called a bet from Couden and both players stood pat on the second draw.

Both players checked and then stood pat again. On the final round of betting, Lally bet and Couden called.

"Eighty-six," said Lally. Couden tossed his cards into the muck before Lally opened {4-}{4-}{8-}{6-}{2-}.

"You had four-four," said a tablemate as the pot was pushed to Lally. Couden indicated that Lally's verbal announcement caused him to muck the winning hand, but with Couden's hand irretrievable Lally was awarded the pot.
