Ace is Good For Taylor

Livello 9

Seven Card Stud

Esther Taylor: XxXx/J♠K♥8♣A♣/Xx
Opponent: XxXx/K♦Q♥7♦10♣/Xx

Esther Taylor bet on sixth street and was called by one opponent. Taylor bet again on seventh and her opponent flicked in a call.

Taylor turned over A♠4♠3♠ for a pair of aces that was good enough to win the pot.

The next hand, a tablemate was the bring-in with an eight. "Wow, you're running like absolute dogshit," Taylor said as the unfortunate player couldn't help but break out into hearty laughter.

This table also includes Yueqi Zhu and Phil Hui.

Chainsaw's Recommendation Box

Livello 9

2-7 Triple Draw/No-Limit Hold'em

During the last hand of a triple-draw round, Allen "Chainsaw" Kessler saw an opportunity to make a suggestion.

"The coins should be out front," he said to a nearby tournament director, referring to the tokens that keep track of how many games are played in a round.

Kessler pointed at the spot just above the rectangle box where you'd find the board. They're normally kept in the well at the WSOP. He went on to say that other venues do it that way and there are hardly ever any mistakes.

"I just sent a picture to Jack [Effel], do you want to see?"

"I believe you, Allen," the tournament director replied earnestly.

"There's never a mistake that way," Kessler claimed.

The tournament director took "the over" on that number and a few others at the table agreed.

Meanwhile, the game changed to no-limit hold'em.

Andrew Kelsall raised to 2,200 from the small blind and Christopher Vitch paused before he made it 7,000. Kelsall responded with a jam and Vitch gave it up. Kelsall showed A♥ and offered to show the other one. Vitch accepted and it was 8♣.

Giocatore	Chip	Avanzamento
Christopher Vitch	146,000 -15,000	-15,000
Allen Kessler	75,000 28,300	28,300
Andrew Kelsall	44,000 44,000	44,000

Baker Gets Sticky

Livello 9

No-Limit Hold'em

David "ODB" Baker was in the cutoff and called a preflop raise from an opponent in early position.

The flop came 10♠Q♥5♦ and the initial raiser continued with a bet of 2,500. Baker called to see the 3♠ turn.

His opponent now fired out another bet of 9,000 and Baker again called. The river came the 9♣ and this time Baker's opponent checked.

Baker shuffled his chips for a few moments before tapping the felt and checking behind. "Ace-high," his opponent said as Baker turned over A♣10♣ to win the pot with a pair of tens.
