McCormick Teaches His Opponent a Lesson

Level 3 : Blinds 400/800, 0 ante

Omaha Hi-Lo

Three-handed on a flop of 102A, a player in the cutoff bet as action went on Tom McCormick in the small blind.

"Why did you bet so fast. And it's supposed to be 8,000. You bet too fast and the wrong amount, other than that you're doing fine," McCormick joked as he called.

Jason Papastavrou also called in the big blind as the K fell on the turn. The cutoff bet again and only McCormick called this time.

The river came the Q and McCormick called another bet.

"I have a pair of fours," his opponent said. McCormick turned over AK65 for two pair to win the pot.

Zappulla Gets Some Back

Level 3 : Blinds 400/800, 0 ante

Razz

Paul Zappulla: 10x9x2x/6x5x3x7x
Travis Trail: XxXxXx/2x7xAxAx
Yufei Zhong: XxXx/4xAx8x - folded fifth street

Picking action up on fifth street three-ways after a round of checks on fourth street, Paul Zappulla bet, Yufei Zhong folded, and Travis Trail called.

On sixth street, Zappulla continued betting, again getting a call from Trail.

Trail faced a final bet on seventh street and gave it some thought before calling. Zappulla showed him his deuce first, along with the nine and ten for a winning seven-six as he rebuilds toward his starting stack after a rough couple of levels.

Level 3 : Blinds 400/800, 0 ante

Seven Card Stud

Jason Papastavrou: XxXx/AJ49
Tom McCormick: XxXx/6J210 - folded sixth street
Brad Ruben: XxXx/3 - folded bring-in

After Tom McCormick completed Brad Ruben's bring-in, Jason Papastavrou made it two bets to go. Ruben folded but McCormick called.

Papastavrou then bet fourth, fifth and sixth streets, with McCormick coming along until sixth when he removed his hat and rubbed his forehead, seemingly pained by the decision he faced.

After some thought, he elected to fold, sending the pot to Papastavrou.

Jon Shoreman: XxXx/QQJ5/Xx
Christopher Claassen: XxXx/67J7/Xx

Jon Shoreman bet on fifth street with a pair of queens showing and Christopher Claassen called.

Claassen made a pair of sevens on sixth and called another bet from Shoreman. Both players checked on seventh and Shoreman motioned to his board that it was as good as his hand was going to get.

Claassen couldn't beat the queens and sent his cards into the muck.
