"These tournaments are all luck. I play skill games. I don't sell action because I'm a good poker player that wins!" stated Jared Bleznick.
Bleznick continued to discuss things more before Shaun Deeb chimed in, and the talk slowly headed toward a prop bet for next WSOP.
"You have a bet, I promise you. I'll book you. Minimum bet is $50k. All you have to do is win. Just win $1, and you win the bet. I just want to bet against you!" added Bleznick in the direction of Deeb.
"When you said, 'book me,' I thought you meant something entirely different. It's not the bet I want to make," responded Deeb.
Catching the action on fifth street, Chris Tryba bet, Eric Wasserson called, and Perry Friedman folded. Tryba bet sixth, and Wasserson called before both players checked seventh.
Tryba: / /
Wasserson: / /
Tryba tabled his / for a missed flush draw but a pair of tens, and Wasserson tapped the table and conceded the pot.
Bertrand Grospellier had the bring-in, and Jason Mercier called. Chris Ferguson completed, and Randy Ohel raised. Grospellier folded, but both Mercier and Ferguson called.
On fourth street, Ohel bet, and both Mercier and Ferguson called. That action was repeated on fifth street. On sixth, Ohel bet, Mercier raised to 32,000, and Ferguson folded. Ohel called as each player's board read as follows:
Mercier: / /
Ferguson: / - fold
Ohel: / /
On seventh, Ohel checked, and Mercier bet 16,000. Ohel check-raised to 32,000, and Mercier called.
