- From Playground Poker Club
in Kahnawake, Quebec, this is Poker Night in America.
(upbeat music)
What's up, guys?
Welcome to Poker Night Presents, Party Poker Live
at The Playground Poker Club in Montreal.
I'm not Chris Hanson, nor am I Joe Stapleton,
I am Doug Polk.
Who let the Dougs out?
UNC Wilmington did, because I did not graduate,
but look who's laughing now.
I'm on your (bleep) TV, dad.
This is a quick look at the stacks
we've got coming in for today,
three people buying in for 100,000,
three people buying in for 200,000,
some deep stack poker begins right now.
Our blind structure will be the same as yesterday,
one hundred, two hundred dollar blinds
with a 300 dollar ante on only the big blind.
Right out of the gate here, Roberts looks down
a pack of tens, opening at 1500.
We also have Jeff Gross in the mix today.
Good to see another YouTuber making it in there.
He gets out of the way, though,
and Antonio has pocket fours and called the open.
(poker players chattering)
Nine, six, four, nice way to open the sesh here, Antonio.
(poker players chattering
Now, Roberts checks on nine, six, four and
with an over pair, she's clearly going to be check calling,
(poker players chattering)
but she's actually thinking about check raising.
Now, Antonio is very excited about the way this is going,
but he wants to call and give Roberts a chance
to lose more money on later streaks.
The deuce on the turn looks like a good card for Roberts,
but in reality it's a terrible one.
She wisely checks anyway and now
Antonio's gonna bet with his set.
17,000 is a healthy sized bet, around 2/3 of the pot,
and back over to Roberts with pocket tens,
and this is one of the problems
with fast playing your over pairs,
facing a bet in the flop, you build a pot
that might me a bit larger than you're looking to play,
however you have the over pair, probably gonna
end up putting a call here and playing some rivers.
(poker players chattering)
And Roberts makes the call.
(poker players chattering)
The jack of diamonds on the river could be a saving grace
for Roberts as now, if Antonio is bluffing
with a hand that hid a jack, she's beat.
Once again, Antonio has one of the best kinds
of spots in poker, how much money
should I bet and try and get paid?
Something in the 40 to 45,000 range looks about right,
but he is swinging for the fences, 100,000 to go
for the rest of Roberts buy in.
Now, what can Roberts beat?
Maybe a hand like 8, 7 suited, a missed straight draw,
maybe a hand like some back door clubs that also missed,
but she also has to realize that
there's a possibility that Antonio has three of a kind.
(poker players chattering)
Chips, please.
And the straddle's back on, Yong straddling
to 400 dollars under the gun.
(poker players chattering)
Ace, king for Krpan opening up at 1500,
Roberts probably on a little bit of tilt
with a queen, eight call here.
It can be tough when you get stacked
to try and play conservative in small pots,
but you have to maintain that discipline
or the flood gates will open.
Jeff Gross getting into the mix, five, four suited.
Why not bump it up?
He's here to play, let's see those cards in the muck,
but what he doesn't realize, he's up against Big Slick.
(poker players chattering)
Yong also with pocket eights in
straddle, gonna make the call.
In a previous episode, we saw Krpan fold
ace, king to a three bet, but here,
he's in there and he's looking to play a flop.
Looks like we got a little pot.
Now, how spewy is Roberts feeling,
because this is not a call three bet hand.
(poker players chattering)
Discipline, nice to see, reels it in,
not gonna tilt it off, I like it.
Three solid hands here, let's take a flop,
(poker players chattering)
and this flop is action city.
Yong flops top set, Jeff Gross has a
double gutter as well as a back door flush draw.
It's such a great spot to get
this hand in Jeff's situation, because it looks like
he has a hand like jacks, queens, or kings.
It does not look like he's on a draw.
Now, Yong decided just to flat call
the flop with his pocket eights.
I think raising or calling can both be good.
Krpan wisely gets out of the way
and we're heads up to the turn.
(poker players chattering)
The turn deuce is a terrible card for Jeff.
He's now dead against a full house, which guess what?
Yong has and this card might make him wanna bluff.
His opponent's less likely to have a set
when there were two deuces out there,
but Jeff wisely checks here on the turn.
(poker players chattering)
Very conservative play from Jeff, works out here.
I wouldn't mind seeing a bet on the turn
and get your opponent to fold hands like nines.
That would have been a gross river for Jeff
had he made the call and hit a straight.
He was a Yong shot to say the least.
Sorry, I apologize, that was terrible.
I need to excuse myself, we'll be right back.
- Welcome back to Poker Night Presents,
Party Poker Live at The Playground Poker Club in Montreal.
Giddy up, there's a double straddle on the felt,
and this town isn't big enough for the both of 'em.
Roberts making it 400 out of the gun, Antonio re-straddling
to 800, so the stakes just went up.
Extra folds for Roberts who bumps it up with ace, eight.
Antonio, without hesitation takes a flop,
got the computer hand, he's ready to go.
(poker players chattering)
Both players catch a piece, Roberts flops
top pair, Antonio flops middle pair.
I think Roberts probably should have
but the flop and gotten some value,
but it's okay to every now and then trap.
She's gotta put her foot on the gas now, though.
She's got a good hand and if Antonio
does have a pair, he's gonna give her some action.
So, she bets 3500 and Antonio
doesn't have much choice but to call,
and so he raises and I'm not exactly
sure what he's trying to do here.
Is it a bluff, is it a value bet?
I don't know and Roberts doesn't know either.
She's clearly going to call.
She's reaching for big chips, does she sense weakness?
She just goes for the flat call.
Now, Antonio has to know there's a good chance he's behind.
The river is the king of clubs,
which changes things quite a bit.
Tens now are straight, backdoor flush gets in.
Both players are not very happy with their hand strength,
and it might be a reasonable opportunity
for Antonio to just turn his hand
to a bluff and go for it.
The problem is Roberts could have
some strong hands that raise pre-flop
like kings or an ace or maybe even a hand like ace, ten,
so he has to be a little afraid of this river,
but he also has to know his queen is never good.
He loads the gun and he fires for
21,000 here, a big bet on the river.
He's saying, "I know you have the ace
and you simply can't call."
One of the best things about the way Antonio plays
is he's aggressive and he fights for pots.
Now, sometimes, that can be expensive
and your opponents could own you,
but in tough spots like this, has a way of working out.
(poker players chattering)
Tough spot for Roberts, what's she going to do?
(poker players chattering)
She makes an excellent call with her ace,
Antonio tables the bluff, and Roberts picks him off
right after he just stacked her for value.
(poker players chattering)
Big call and she's back on the scoreboard.
Another hand straddled and re-straddled.
Yong opening the button to 3,000
with king seven of diamonds, certainly
a playable hand on the button.
(poker players chattering)
Lauren, Bob Safai would play any hand, he just
has to be dealt in, he's not gonna leave you hangin'.
Antonio just a call pre-flop here with ace, queen.
Wouldn't mind seeing a three above, but call is also okay.
Jack, ten, three rainbow.
Both players pretty much brick.
Antonio does have a gutter to the nuts
and Yong has a backdoor flush draw.
And that turn heats things up a bit.
Antonio now with the double gutter
and Yong turns a flush draw and a straight draw as well.
Yong bets 4,000 here, I like this play, try and take
the pot down and if they do call, you have a lot of equity.
Now, what does Antonio do?
Classic Antonio, coming in raising,
and now Yong has a pretty interesting decision.
He's getting fairly good odds to call,
almost three to one in his money,
so calling here, just to try and hit
the flush or the straight might not be a bad play.
(whistling)
I'll tell you what's always a bad play, whistling.
We've got a pot brewing.
And that is an action card, the nuts for Yong
on the river, top pair for Antonio,
you couldn't ask for a more action packed river.
Now, Antonio has gotta slow down,
he's gotta pump the breaks a little bit.
His opponent can have hands that beat him.
He could have a hand like jack, eight,
or ten, eight, or eight, eight,
so when you have ace, queen, you gotta slow down.
There's also the chance of the flush,
although it's not too likely.
Yong now has to decide what does he think Antonio has
and pick a size that makes sense against it.
50,000 is a huge bet, the pot was just 30,000 dollars
before this bet, but Yong knows
how stationy Esfandiari can play.
(poker players chattering)
Now, Antonio has a very difficult decision here.
He has top pair, but his opponent
is saying that he has, pretty much, a straight or better.
(poker players chattering)
Antonio would prefer to have a diamond in his hand,
so his opponent's less likely to
have a flush, but he doesn't have one.
(poker players chattering)
So, now the question is, does he
think Yong is just a bluffalo or
does he think he actually woke up with the goods?
Good lay down from Antonio, he let's it go
versus the 50K bet where they had it,
calls the 50K bet they're bluffing,
I mean, that's just playing good poker.
Antonio Esfandiari makes the correct decision
and relinquishes top pair top picker.
Now, you make the right decision and stick around,
because we'll be right back after this.
- Welcome back to Poker Night Presents,
Party Poker Live in The Playground Poker Club in Montreal.
And the triple straddle's back on.
Jeff Gross calls with the ace, jack to an end position.
Sam Trickett raises ace, ten suited out of position,
this is how you wanna be playing poker.
Nine, four off not a very strong hand to play
and the action is back over to Jeff Gross.
He's going to at least call, he might
be debating the merit of raising.
He's gonna call, we've actually got two
pretty strong hands here, let's take the flop.
Both players brick very dry board, queen, seven
deuce rainbow, it doesn't get much more dry than this.
There are no straight draws, no flush draws,
you either hit that queen or you didn't,
which makes it a pretty good spot to go for a bluff see bet.
Trickett's gonna take that opportunity
and bets 5500 on the flop, now we have
a bit of a close spot for Jeff.
He does have the backdoor nut flush draw,
he does have some turns he can turn gut shots on,
and ace gives him top pair, it's a fairly small bet.
I'd like to see a call here and go from there.
And that turn is great for Jeff Gross,
he picks up the nut flush draw,
and now he's certainly going nowhere.
For Trickett, can he still really fire here?
He has no equity, he just has one over card.
I don't know if this is the hand
he wants to pick to go to town with.
Sam disagrees and fires out 18,000 here on the turn.
Now, if you're Jeff Gross, you don't
call this flop to fold this turn.
So, we're gonna see him call again, and if a club
doesn't come, it's gonna be tough for Jeff to win this hand.
Could Jeff possibly be thinking about raising here?
And he does, pulls the trigger,
awesome play from Jeff Gross, puts so much
pressure on Sam Trickett, who was trying to bluff him,
but it does not work, and I love
mixing in the raise here on the turn from Jeff.
These kinds of plays are what
separate good players from the pack.
Yong raises it up to 2500 with quite a bad hand,
he does have the button, but even then,
this is probably a hand he could let go.
Krpan's gonna take a flop with ace, ten
and now, Roberts in the straddle,
and the price of poker is going up,
6400 to go with jack, ten suited, a pretty hand,
makes sense to every now and then raise it up,
especially if the button's getting
really out of line and raising with hands like six, four,
works out in a pretty big way.
Yong has a terrible hand, but he is priced into the pot,
so he calls and we're taking a flop.
And that is a flop, Roberts flops a flush,
Yong gets no piece of it and she quickly
checks over to her opponent, setting the trap.
Yong does not fall in.
Once again, Roberts checks, and this is
always a dangerous situation to trap.
If your opponent doesn't start firing at some point,
then you just don't build the pot,
and you wanna, in general, try to
play big pots with your good hands.
However, if you think that they'll get out of line,
then trapping them can be quite good.
I'm not exactly sure what Yong
is trying to do here on the turn with his six.
He's gonna get action from better hands
and make worse hands fold, so I'm not a big fan of this.
Roberts now springs to life with the check raise.
Even though it doesn't feel good,
Yong has to let it go at this point.
If Roberts has a strong hand, he's dead,
but he's going nowhere and we're taking a river.
Off suite deuce, nothing has changed here
for either player and Roberts seems to fire again.
If you check here, your opponent's not going to bite,
because they know you either have a good hand or a bluff,
but she needs to fight here, make it on the big side and
possibly get some value from hands like a king or a nine.
It's not too likely that Yong's gonna call with a six,
but you never know, sometimes people like to look you up.
She's reaching for chips.
28,000 to go again on the river,
and Yong raises it up to 75,000.
Normally for this play, you wanna
have a heart in your hand, so your
opponent's less likely to have a flush, but he's just
doing it, 'cause he simply does not believe her.
Unfortunately, though, Roberts does have the third nuts.
I think, at this point, Roberts is
debating to go all in or to just call.
And she goes for the value.
Lauren Roberts collects a 320,000 dollar pot
on her way into the lead here on day two.
Lauren Roberts digs herself out of the hole
and is now standing tall on a couple of stacks.
What are the odds of flopping a flush
on a hand you three bet from the straddle?
I have no idea, I'm just reading words off a teleprompter.
We'll figure out the math when we return.
- The session's just kicking off
and we already have some big ups and downs.
Antonio Esfandiari up 63,000, Rob Yong down 64,000,
and Lauren Roberts fought her way back
to be barely up on the session.
