Kurtzman Chipping Up

Nível 5 : 400/800, 0 ante

Badugi

Eric "The Donkey" Kurtzman took down two hands in a row and is cruising along with a mountain of chips in front of him. The first of the two hands saw three-way action with a player opening from under the gun. Kurtzman called from the cutoff, as did the player on the button. All three players drew one card and the player under the gun bet, which Kurtzman and the player on the button both called. All three players drew one card again on the second draw, and action checked through. The final draw saw all three players take one card for the last time this hand, and action checked to Kurtzman, who bet. The player on the button called and the original raiser folded from under the gun.

Kurtzman tabled and his opponent mucked as he raked in the pot.

On the following hand, Kurtzman opened from the hijack and got called by the players in the small and big blinds. The small blind drew two cards and the big blind and Kurtzman both drew one. Action checked to Kurtzman, who made a continuation-bet. Both players called, and draws again went two, one, one. The small blind checked and the big blind put in a bet. Kurtzman raised, prompting the small blind to fold. The big blind called and both players stood pat on the final draw.

On the last street of action, the big blind checked and Kurtzman put in another bet. The big blind sent his cards into the muck and Kurtzman told him he made a good fold as he added more chips onto his stack.

Welcome to Day 1 of Event #6: $2,500 Limit Mixed Triple Draw

mnuwwarah

Six events into the 2019 World Series of Poker, it's time for the first mixed-game bracelet event of the summer: Event #6: $2,500 Limit Mixed Triple Draw.

Badugi, 2-7 triple draw and A-5 triple draw comprise the mix. Each game plays for the lowest hand, with badugi requiring players to aim for of different suits, A-5 for a wheel and 2-7 for the lowest cards with straights and flushes counting against.

Players get 15,000 in their starting stacks, with one reentry available and registration open until the start of Level 9 (800/1,600). Levels last an hour apiece with breaks given after every other level. Ten levels are on the docket for Day 1.

Last year, Johannes Becker broke through in this event for his first bracelet, topping a field of 321 — and a final table that included Chris Vitch and Scott Seiver — for $180,455. Becker undoubtedly hopes to be grinding the $50K all day, so it remains to be seen if he'll even attempt to go back-to-back.

Cards are scheduled to fly at 3 p.m. local time here at the Rio, so follow the lowball draw mix right here on PokerNews starting then.
