Woods Mucks Before Hand Killed

Nível 10 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

A-5 Triple Draw

A battle of the blinds saw James Woods and Scott Seiver build a pot of only about 4,000 going to the last draw, where they both took two. However, Seiver grabbed his cards but while Woods was reaching to sweep up his, the dealer apparently accidentally took one into the muck.

The tournament supervisor wasn't sure about the ruling and called for a higher ruling, which Seiver dreaded because he seemed sure Woods' hand would be ruled dead. He said he'd be OK with Woods simply taking the next card. Not wishing to wait for a more senior tournament director to arrive, Woods simply mucked and gave up the pot to Seiver.

When the TD arrived, he confirmed that a by-the-book ruling would kill Woods' hand, however, he'd have been able to make a discretionary ruling that would have allowed Woods to continue playing.

Paul Volpe (captured in the $100k event)

Badugi

Paul Volpe entered the Mixed Triple Draw late after cashing in the $100k event and he's carried his wave of success to this event. Volpe has already notched a third-place finish in the $10k Super Turbo Bounty.

Volpe keeps the foot firmly on the pedal here in the triple draw as he demonstrated a few moments ago in a round of badugi.

The first hand saw Volpe (small blind) three-bet his right-hand opponent Alex Simma. Simma called and changed two while Volpe patted. Simma called additional bets on the following two streets, drawing for one. He folded on the river, leaving a nice chunk for Volpe.

Unfortunately for Simma, that wasn't the only bite Volpe took from his stack. In a three-way pot against John "Miami" Cernuto and Volpe, Simma had a made-hand pre-draw and stood pat. Volpe and Cernuto were drawing for one and Volpe raised Simma's bet after the first draw. Both of his opponents called.

Cernuto drew one and gave up after Simma bet and Volpe called.

Volpe and Simma both patted again and Volpe raised Simma's bet. Simma paused for a while but then couldn't talk himself out of the way. He called only to see Volpe turn up the nuts with .

Badugi

Chris Ferguson raised and the big blind defended. Ferguson then bet every single street, drawing one on the first draw and patting thereafter.

His opponent kept calling, drawing two on the first draw and one on the last two draws. He folded to the last barrel as his hand couldn't get there.
