Farzad Bonyadi vs Catryan

Friday, August 31st, 2007

Farzard Bonyadi played $200/$400 Limit Omaha Hi/Lo heads up against Catryan. When I began watchingFarzad Bonyadi Catryan had $10k while Bonyadi had $9.4k. Chip amounts were just about equal as the chips went went back and forth.

In a series of four hands Bonyadi won: $4.4k, $3.1k, $1.4k and $2.7k. After these hands Bonyadi had $15.3 while Catryan had $5.4. This didn’t last long as Catryan fought back and won a series of hands to bring it back to $10k vs 10k.

Catryan went on a run and won about 2/3 of the hands of a period of around 15 hands with Bonyadi folding many of his hands before the river. The match ended when Catryan left with 15k leaving Bonyadi with $4.9k …

John Juanda Cleaned Out For 70k at Full Tilt

Tuesday, August 28th, 2007

John Juanda - Team FullTilt PokerJohn Juanda sat down and played hcdnttb heads up in the $50/$100 no limit table at FullTilt Poker. He ended up losing a huge hand where he held pocket 2’s and went up against trip 6’s. It was John Juanda who played uber aggressive through out the hand and ended up pushing all-in after the river card. (7h, Td, 3d, 6c and Qs) in a $20,997.50 hand. John Juanda in the chat said “wow” and asked if hcdnttb wanted to play $200/$400 after losing that huge hand. hcdnttb said “no” because he didn’t have the bankroll. Another big hand went down where John lost $13k and John said “$100/$200″ and left the table.

Hcdnttb followed him to the $100/$200 table but wanted to play on the button …so they joined a new heads-up $100/$200 game. Hcdnttb bought in for $10k while John Juanda bought in for 20k. Hcdnttb quickily lost a hand for a couple thousand and then bought in for an additional 10k bringing the match at an even 20k a piece.

John Juanda bought in for an additional 10k after playing a couple hands. So at that point John had $29k on the table while hcdnttb had $23k. This led to a huge hand where John lost $45,390 holding a three of a kind 9’s to hcdnttb’s king high flush. Another “wow” from John Juanda and hcdnttb quickily said “go back to tournaments tuan”.

John Juanda not wanting to give up buy’s in for another $20k. He then suffers another crushing defeat as his A6 goes against 55. Hcdnttb hits a three of a kind with his 5’s on the flop while John Juanda hits a 6 for a pair. On the turn, John gets an Ace giving him two pair…He then raises all-in (17k) which hcdnttb quickily calls. The river comes a 2s, no help to John Juanda and he loses another 20k!

He quickily messages “Are You Kidding Me” and then leaves the game…

This all took place in less then an hour….

FullTilt $200/$400 Ballers

Saturday, August 25th, 2007

On FullTilt Poker there are currently two $200/$400 NL Texas Hold-em games being played. This is not out of the ordinary but what is pretty interesting is who is playing in each… The first table “Canfield” and has: David Benyamine (Team FullTilt Poker), ____ScorpioWins and Dustin Dirksen. The other table “Bennett”…Drumroll….the same players are playing.

Case and point…they like to gamble and don’t mind playing the same people in two different tables. They each have thousands of dollars at stake and it is not enough for them to only have one game going on..

It is very interesting to watch as one wins a hand in one game while they lose all their money in another. Dustin Dirksen was the first player to lose a good amount of his money and bought in again and then eventually left both games after taking another loss.
