Barny Boatman's River Call

Nível 8 : 500/1,000, 0 ante

There was a limp for 1,000 from under the gun before Barny Boatman raised to 3,000. Gordon Vayo called in the big blind, and the under-the-gun player came along.

There was no further betting until the river of the board, where the under the gun player bet 4,000. Boatman had a hard think about this. He had around 17,000 behind, so it was a tough decision. Boatman called, Vayo mucked, and his opponent said, “Nice call.”

Boatman showed , and his pair of queens took the pot.

Negreanu Ousted in a Three-Way All-In; Madsen Soars

Jan_Kores

Nível 7 : 400/800, 0 ante

Jeff Madsen limped from the hijack, and his neighbour Daniel Negreanu wanted to make a move with his short stack. Negreanu raised it up to 2,800, finding a customer in the form of small blind Daniel Weinman. The action returned to Madsen, who re-raised pot, bumping it to 15,200. Negranu was happy to hear that, and he slid in his last 9,300. Weinman scanned Madsen's stack and called his three-bet.

The flop came , and Weinman asked Madsen how much he had behind, which was roughly 10,000. Weinman moved all in, and Madsen called off for his last 9,500. With no further action to come, all three hands were turned up.

Daniel Negreanu:
Jeff Madsen:
Daniel Weinman:

Negreanu was in bad shape, blocking his own gutshot straight draw and trailing with pocket jacks. Madsen had double-suited aces, but Weinman's hand had solid equity to provide a double knockout as he rolled over a wrap and bottom pair.

The turn and the river, however, changed nothing, leaving Madsen out front. He took all of Negreanu's chips and scored a full double through Weinman on top of that.

Negreanu and Madsen pumped fists before the Canadian superstar left the tournament area. Madsen is now back over a starting stack.

Negreanu Pays Off Weinman

Jan_Kores

Nível 7 : 400/800, 0 ante

With the action on the flop, Daniel Weinman was all in for 30,200. Daniel Negreanu was contemplating whether he should call or fold, and as is typical for him, he was talking everyone through his thought process.

Daniel Weinman:
Daniel Negreanu:

Negreanu had only middle pair, and the on the turn killed all his chances to beat Weinman. The river brought a full house for Weinman, who skyrocketed to over 100,000 in chips.
