Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 0 ante

A-5 Triple Draw

Short stacks Jesse Hampton and George Trigeorgis met in a three-bet pot and Hampton decided to skip the cbet and tap back after they both drew two.

Trigeorgis led out on the second draw after they peeled two again. Hampton called and patted while Trigeorgis drew one.

Hampton had only 5,000 behind but he was allowed to check back, showing his {9-}{8-}{6-}{3-}{A-} for the win, getting almost a full double versus Trigeorgis jack-high.

Trigeorgis then doubled his micro stack in a hand against Chris Vitch but now he's again down to just one big bet.

Calling the Clock With the Brains Behind the Scene of RG - Real Grinders Eric Shimp gives us an 88 second glimpse into the brain power behind the new fad. What is Eric like away from his poker business and does he know the different types of Australian alcohol? Who was his biggest crush and what music does he like? Calling the clock is powered by 888 poker and this time it's a business leader. Will he understand the Aussie language and Danielle's accent while his 88 seconds ticks down?

2-7 Triple Draw

George Trigeorgis called Johannes Becker's raise and they both drew three. Becker bet and Trigeorgis called before both switched to drawing two. Trigeorgis led out this time and Becker called.

Both drew one on the last draw. Trigeorgis had one big bet left. "It's an interesting spot, we have one big bet left. Why is it not going in?" he was talking to himself out loud before peeling his new card.

Eventually, he threw it in. Becker called with king-high but that was no match for Trigeorgis' eighty-six.

Trigeorgis climbed to 400,000 but he'd soon lose a large portion of it in a three-bet pot against Seiver who patted after the first draw, barreling all streets. Trigeorgis gave up on the river.

Seiver check-folded and Becker confidently spread {8-Spades}{5-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}. However, Trigeorgis had it beat with {7-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{a-Hearts}.

A-5 Triple Draw

With action on the last betting round, Scott Seiver checked to George Trigeorgis who bet. Seiver then check-raised.

Trigeorgios was upset: "Oh, come on, how do you raise here?"

"Because everyone knows that no one bets there so it was a very easy check-raise from me," Seiver replied.

Trigeorgis eventually couldn't talk himself out of the troubles and called only to hear Seiver say: "Number two."

Badugi

Trigeorgis was down to just 22,000 after the aforementioned hand and the game changed before he was forced to post all-in in the big blind. Seiver raised and Chris Vitch came along from the small blind.

Vitch drew one, Trigeorgis discarded three and Seiver two. Seiver bet and Vitch called so they continued battling for the side pot.

All players drew one and Seiver forced a fold from Vitch with another bet.

Trigeorgis got there and patted while Seiver needed to change one.

George Trigeorgis: {A-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{9-Spades}{10-Clubs}
Scott Seiver: {2-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{4-Clubs}

Seiver needed a low spade to tackle Trigeorgis but the dealer gave him the {6-Hearts} instead, securing a triple for Trigeorgis.

"I mean it's f****** spooky man," Seiver said. "I have him drawing dead and he just check-snap-folds."

"He snap-folded when I made my hand, too," Jesse Hampton said.

"It's not spooky that you do it, it's spooky that you're never wrong," Seiver said.

The next hand, Vitch got the chips back in another three-bet pot, with Seiver being the one check-folding to a big bet after Vitch patted second draw.
