Tryba Chops With Madsen

KaleGozer

Nível 7 : 200/400, 0 ante

The table with Mike Matusow, Leif Force and Jeff Madsen has welcomed another WSOP bracelet winner as Chris Tryba took the open seat next to Madsen. The two tangled right away on a board, where Tryba bet and Madsen called.

On the river, Madsen checked, Tryba bet, Madsen check-raised and Tryba called it off after a slight hesitation.

Madsen flung open for the nut straight and a seventy-six, Tryba had the wheel with and the two chopped it up.

"Nice river, Anthony," Tryba said to the dealer.

Ageloff Among Bigger Stacks

[user38873]

Nível 6 : 150/300, 0 ante

On the turn there were already three bets in and there was some confusion as Joseph Wagganer had checked in the hijack and faced a bet of Brandon Ageloff when the fell on the river.

The final bet at that point was 600 to make it 2,400 in total, as bets were not pulled in to facilitate split pots upon showdown. Once the full amount was confirmed, Wagganer called and Ageloff showed for a busted flush draw and two pair, queens and eights.

Wagganer double-checked his cards carefully and mucked.

Two Quick Chops

[user38873]

Nível 6 : 150/300, 0 ante

While a set and a flush is quite a decent hand, in a split pot game such as Omaha 8 or Better that doesn't guarantee the full portion of the pot. And that's what the opponent of Hernan Salazar just experienced when his river bet on a board of was called.

"You got ace four?" he asked and Salazar nodded, turning over the nut low to take half of the pot against .

One table over, David "ODB" Baker and Itsuko Yoroi battled. Two bets were in after the flop before the turn and river brought a bet and a call each. Baker showed for the nut flush and no low, and Yoroi took the second half of the pot with for the inferior flush and ace-five low.
