"This One Really Makes No Sense"

Level 32 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante

Travis Lauson limped in, which drew some comments from his opponents, and Dan Goepel checked his option. Both checked the flop and Goepel bet 160,000 on the {3-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{6-Hearts} board. Lauson called and Goepel checked the {a-Hearts}. Lauson bet 600,000.

"This one makes no sense," Goepel said. "This one really makes no sense."

Nonetheless, he folded.

"This is gonna hit," Goepel said, pointing to his cards.

He was right: the {10-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} board gave him a winning Broadway straight.

The Short Stack Life for Azulay

Level 31 : 60,000/120,000, 20,000 ante

Travis Lauson bet 350,000 or so on a {4-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{5-Spades}{3-Spades} board and Yossi Azulay called from the button. Lauson checked the {j-Diamonds} river. Azulay slid 500,000 in after thinking awhile.

Lauson swore and thought for awhile before announcing he was all in. Azulay snap-folded. He's back to short-stacked poker, but that's where he thrived earlier in this final table.
