- From Playground Poker
Club in Kahnawake, Quebec
this is Poker Night in America.
(fast jazz playing)
What's up guys?
Welcome to Poker Night Presents
Party Poker Live at
the Playground Poker
Club in Montreal.
I'm your host Doug Polk.
I am all over this poker scene!
I'm the Tyler Perry
of poker baby!
- They did?
- Our play is going to begin
with Antonio up $65,000.
Sam Trickett down 140
and looking to mix
moves to get closer to even.
Lauren Roberts up 108,
and Rob Yong posing
a $71,000 loss.
- Come on.
Tripe straddle.
- You haven't
straddled one time,
you're gonna tell him
to triple straddle?
- [Safieddine] Why not?
- At least man up and straddle.
(players speaking
simultaneously)
- Don't get all sensitive.
- [Safieddine] I'm creating
more action for you.
- 32 or no?
- [Safieddine] If you
had not said anything
I was gonna propose that.
- [Doug] Poker Night is brought
to you by Kimo Sabe Mezcal.
- 1,600 soldiers.
- [Dealer] Raise 4,000.
- Yong wants that money.
He's coming in
with a $4,000 raise
in the butt end of
a five four suited.
- Fold.
- [Doug] Safieddine does what
he's been doing all night.
Gets out of the way.
Over to Ohayon, King
two suited, why not?
Suited.
We got a little high coverage,
some low coverage.
Let's take a flop.
Antonio with a premium
nine eight off suit
also gonna be taking a flop.
And Trickett will
make the call as well.
We see four extremely strong
(mumbles) holdings here.
- Good luck to us.
Let's punish these Brits.
- Already being punished.
- [Doug] And disaster has
struck for Sam Trickett.
He flops a flush draw
but it's the lower
flush draw to Ohayon.
If a heart comes it
could be the worst thing
that happens to him all night.
Checks through 10 of
spades, end of turn.
No one really has too much.
Yong still in the lead
with a pair of fours.
- Check.
- [Doug] Will
anyone take a stab?
At some point this juicy
$17,000 pot has to be something
people can pick up.
- 15.
- [Doug] I know it doesn't
buy you what it used to
but hey, it's still $17,000.
- 15.
- [Doug] Large bet here from
Trickett with his flush draw
and he gets a call from Ohayon.
Trickett might
actually win this pot.
Little does he know he
is rooting for a brick.
- Heads up.
- [Doug] And he does not get it.
Both players
improved to flushes.
They're both thinking
they moved into the lead.
How much money will
Sam Trickett lose here?
- One day you're gonna win
a pot Trickett, one day.
- I'm really not.
(laughing)
I'm really not.
- That's kind of
attractive to see.
- It's attractive to see
a bro get punished.
- A little pain.
- [Doug] Despite being
stuck a ton of money,
still makes a good (mumbles).
That's the art of being
a true professional
poker player.
- So demanding.
- I am a little
high-maintenance.
You know that about me.
- Yeah, well.
You are Antonio.
- No massage, okay.
Can we massage each other?
- Why can't you have massage?
- I don't know.
- Messes up the TV flow or
something, I don't know.
- [Yong] Who cares?
- It's not the casino here.
It's not the room.
It's the production company.
- Yeah but I'm paying
the production company.
(laughing)
- Excuse me can I
see the boss please?
I wanna see the boss.
I wanna see who's in charge.
Bring him to me.
- [Doug] Bad situation
for Roberts and Krpan.
They both have ace jack.
Neither one's very
likely to hit now.
This opens up a perfect
opportunity for Antonio
to pounce on some weakness.
- Three players.
- [Doug] Queen,
10, seven, rainbow.
(mumbles)
- You're gonna listen to anyone.
You're gonna listen.
- [Doug] Krpan and Roberts
both have a gut shot
straight draw to the nuts.
(mumbles)
We're seeing some
aggression out of Krpan
he seems to take
the betting lead
betting 6,400 into
a pot of 10,000.
And Roberts here with a
little of ambitious call
but if she does hit she
might get paid in a big way.
Four of diamonds on the turn
about as much of a
brick as you can get.
I'd like to see him come in,
fire some bullets,
put Antonio in a tough spot,
when he checks it
over to the magician,
who now has a kind of
interesting spot here
with his top pair.
Seems like a nice spot to
check it back on the turn.
Antonio improves a three
of a kind on the river.
- Check.
- [Doug] Roberts likes to check.
As does Krpan.
Now Antonio has to figure out
what bet size is
gonna get him paid?
His opponents haven't
showed much strength.
But he's gonna bet almost the
full size of the pot here.
Sometimes the lose
pre-fought antics pay off
but keep in mind when you
have queen three suited
you mainly don't hit trips.
- Alright.
I cannot make the hero call.
- Don't go anywhere.
More swol pots here on
Poker Night when we return.
Swol pots, what is it 1990?
- Welcome back to
Poker Night Presents
Party Poker Live at
the Playground Poker
Club in Montreal.
I'll be your host Doug Polk
will bring you all the
poker action in Montreal.
Poker, I barely know her!
Seriously, who's in charge
of the teleprompter?
Poker Night is brought
to you by Sit and Go 2.0.
Go to SitGo20.net and
claim a free SitGo 2.0
strategy e-book.
Our hand behinds with a
straddle of Antonio of 400
and a re-straddle
from Trickett to 800.
Quite some high stakes here.
- Raise 2,500.
- [Doug] Yong's gonna open
up with the ace five of suit
to 2,500 in the cutoff.
And Krpan looks down
at ace five suited,
lets it go.
I think he might be
playing in the wrong game.
- This guy likes to play.
- [Dealer] Call.
- [Yong] What hand
can you fold here?
- None.
Nothing.
(players speaking
simultaneously)
No.
- [Doug] Trickett completes
the action with four deuce off
that is correct.
We do have the right
cards up on your screen.
Sam Trickett calls with
the four deuce off.
Queen nine eight in the area
code of a couple of players.
Antonio in a gut
shot straight draw.
Ohayon has bottom
pair and a gut shot.
Could be a little bit of action.
- I'm just gonna fold before
I do something really silly.
- [Doug] Trickett decides to
go with an unconventional move
and open fold the flop
despite there being no bet.
In general you should check
and try to see the turn river
but I think Trickett had
things to do like stretching.
Antonio now thinks he's in
the lead with his top pair.
He also has the gut
shot and a flush
to go along with it.
- Call.
- [Doug] Ohayon's
gonna make the call.
- Looking me up?
- [Doug] 10 on the river.
This is an action card.
Ohayon improves a two pair.
Esfandiari improves
to a straight.
- [Man] $11,400.
- [Doug] The bet's 11,000.
Ohayon, no choice with two pair.
Gonna have to pay it off,
and he sees the bad news.
Can't win all of them.
- Yeah WhatsApp's down.
- [Man] 200.
- It is down.
- WhatsApp's down I
thought it was yeah.
- I thought it
was just my phone.
- No WhatsApp's down 'cause
everything else is working.
- [Doug] Back to 100,
200 blinds with his hand.
Action folds Antonio
in the button.
He's gonna open it up
with a five four off suit.
And Sam Trickett looks
down at ace five suited.
Now we saw a fold earlier
with this hand from Krpan
facing it open but I
don't think Trickett
is the kind of person
to let this one go.
- These two.
- Jack nine six.
Huge flop for Lauren Roberts.
Top and bottom pair.
Not much for anyone else though.
She's gonna have to try
and make it happen here
to get some value.
But that is an action turn.
The four of diamonds
give Sam Trickett
the nut flush draw.
Antonio bottom pair,
this was the exact cards
that Roberts was looking for.
- I mighta looked you up here.
I'll leave it to the lady.
Leave it to the lady.
- [Doug] The river is
a three of diamonds.
Devastating card for Roberts.
Trickett has
improved to the nuts.
The question is
now how to play it?
Does he go for some value?
Or does he check and try
and get a check raise in?
Trickett's gonna
over the fast play.
Now Roberts knows she's likely
beat the flushes out there
as well as the straights.
But you know what?
Two pair's a pretty strong hand.
You can't lay these down
against aggressive players.
Sometimes in poker you just
have to pay that man his money.
- This is a win/win situation.
I'ma have to look you up.
If you win, you're so
nice it'll work out.
- [Doug] Roberts makes the call.
Sees the bad news.
Into the muck.
- Nice hand.
I had this feeling
you had the flush.
I had two pairs.
No, no, no, I thought
you had the flush.
Wow almost a straight flush.
- Yeah.
- What chance have we got?
- Yeah I just think
22 is so hard.
- [Yong] Also because of
your body weight also.
It's not just about
your strength.
- I know.
(players speaking simultaneosly)
- [Esfandiari] Guys before
I look, I'm behind $30,000.
30,000.
Before I look.
- [Doug] Rob Young looks
down at king, 10 off.
He's been quiet
for a little bit.
He's gonna make the call.
- Call.
- I like those bets 'cause
they make you get fit.
They make you get fit
so even if you lose
you're alright.
- Yeah, you win.
- Call.
- You wanna give
me press up back?
- A what back?
- A press up, how many
press ups I can do.
- What's a press up?
- We call them press ups.
- Yeah okay I got that.
- What do you call them?
- Press ups.
- We did down the field here?
(laughing)
- There you go, family pot, no?
- It is.
- There we go.
- I bet someone's
getting a piece.
- [Esfandiari] Finally.
- [Doug] The flop comes 10,
five, four, with two spades
and we've got ourselves
an action flop.
Trickett flops the third
in that flush draw.
Antonio drawing almost dead
with his lower flush draw.
Rob Yong with top
pair second kicker.
And Roberts even has a gut
shot to the nut straight
if a seven peels off.
Trickett bets 5,000 try to thin
the field out a little bit.
Now Roberts with a gut
shot straight draw here.
If she was closing the action
and might've looked to call
and take a turn,
but you know what?
If that seven does hit she's
gonna get paid in a big way.
She's gonna at least call
here once on the flop.
- Call.
Fold.
- [Doug] Now the
question for Antonio here
getting a great price
for this flush draw
is to call a raise and he
will go for that raise.
Antonio playing some
power poker today.
A lot of aggressive raising
and Trickett snap folds
his third nut flush draw
already we're seeing this
pan out at least so far.
Roberts is gonna
have to let it go.
This is one of the
reasons why you want
to fold the first time up
you get put in a situation
and you're gonna
have to let it go.
Now Yong here with top pair.
Again, difficult spot.
Lets it go and a brilliant play
on the fall from Antonio.
- Somebody call him out.
I wanna see, what is it?
What's the river?
- Three.
Paired up.
- He's having a
rough ride today.
He needs a massage.
- How are you?
- No it wasn't for me.
They asked one of the guys,
he said no.
(laughing)
Just give him a slap.
- [Roberts] Oh.
- Raise 1,200.
Fold.
- [Yong] I told you you'd
get your massage in the end.
- Is this AP?
- I have the same watch.
- [Doug] Normally on Poker Night
in America we have a policy
of no massages at the table,
but Antonio is not
exactly normal.
- 12.
- Sorry no.
- [Doug] Krpan gonna
make a bit of a lose call
on the x with the
five three off-suit.
We've got two solid
premium holdings.
And one of the
worst ones in poker.
This is why you don't
skip leg day folks.
Look at those quads.
- What sort of
businesses are you doing?
- [Roberts] I used
to run a hedge fund
now I just manage
my own capital.
- [Doug] Safieddine has
played almost no hands
so this bet should
maybe scare people.
But again Antonio Esfandiari
is not most people.
Let's throw all the
strategy out the window.
It's moments like this
that we play poker for.
You're sitting there with quads.
And your opponent's
trying to make a move.
The question is now
what does he do?
Does he fast play
thinking Antonio's got
some kind of strong
hand or draw?
Or does he trap?
Generally speaking when
you've got the quads
you wanna trap.
He's okay with his opponent
improving to anything
except maybe that
queen of hearts.
The kind of clubs
rolls off on the turn
and Antonio improves to top.
- Check.
- [Doug] A wise check back
on the turn from Antonio.
And once again
Safieddine has to decide
what to do with
his four of a kind.
He sets the trap.
And Antonio might
feel good right now.
Mainly because of the massage.
He's about to get some bad news.
And Safieddine gives him
the raise on the river.
This always just feels insulting
when someone does it to you.
- Why would I give
my friend $10,000?
It's so annoying, you know,
it's just so annoying.
- [Doug] Can Antonio get away
from top (mumbles) top kicker,
maybe against this
player specifically.
It's been in line all day.
When the tighter
players make a move
they tend to be a
little more effective.
Four of a kind will
somehow win this pot.
Don't worry Antonio.
Plenty of chips there to
keep the massage train going.
- Oh, quads!
- Well you could've
got all of it.
(mumbles)
- I'm glad I didn't
re-raise you.
- I do not.
- Wow if I re-raise
your pre-flub
you get it all.
- You did, no?
- No, I just (mumbles).
I was waiting for you.
(laughing)
- [Trickett] Everybody
waiting for me.
(laughing)
- Wow play three.
- I saw the pair of tens.
Weren't there two
tens on the board?
Weren't there tens on the board,
is this a different hand?
- [Doug] The flop comes queen
seven three with two clubs
and we could have
a big one brewing.
Ohayon with top two.
And Roberts with
a nut flush draw.
- [Esfandiari] It's the
only way I can play it.
- [Doug] I have a feeling that
this pot's about to escalate.
$2,000 bet from Ohayon.
$6,000 raise from Roberts,
and the play from Ohayon.
- Heads up.
- [Esfandiari] So tilted.
- Why?
You lost the minimum.
- I'm gonna get you.
- You didn't have
anything on the flop.
You're lucky he didn't
get a queen on the turn.
- How about the queen
of hearts, oh god
that would have snapped him bro,
he'd be in shock.
He wouldn't know what to do.
This game would be
on another level bro.
- That'd be insane.
That'd have been the most
brutal hand I'd ever seen.
- Ever.
In a long time.
- Yeah exactly.
- It's tough to get that.
It's really difficult.
- We had an opportunity.
It was there.
- Was there for the making.
- Just a little queen of hearts.
Whoo.
- People have had one
out before many times.
- Exactly.
- [Safieddine]
It's not difficult.
After the flop it's not that.
- Antonio would have
never lived that one down.
The royal flush out of queens.
- The queen would've been nice.
- [Safieddine] Another king
on river would've been nice.
- King on the river is no bueno.
- 35,000.
- Call.
- Snap call.
- [Doug] Queen seven
will take it down.
You know what?
You gotta give some
credit to Roberts.
Missed her draw.
Sometimes you gotta fire
and she went for it,
doesn't always work
but you can't be afraid
to pull that trigger.
We now have two massages
going at the table.
Antonio just looked
too comfortable.
Trickett had to get
in there as well.
This hand was trialed at 400.
I assume Trickett
didn't re-straddle
because he was busy
with the massage
but he wakes up with 10,
eight suit under the gun
and that's gonna be an open.
He wouldn't be too happy if
he saw what Safieddine folded
two diamonds out.
Ohayon makes the
call with 10 nine.
Antonio makes the
call with ace queen.
Ace queen seven, huge
flop for Antonio.
Now Trickett might decide
to take a stab here
with some backdoor draws,
represent that strong hand.
But wisely checks and
gets out of the way.
The turn nine gives
Ohayon third pair as well
as an open enter to Trickett.
Antonio is still gonna
slow play with his top two.
- 5,000.
- [Doug] Tough spot
for Ohayon now because
he might be ahead of Trickett.
But he still has to worry
about Antonio behind
and if he raises he gets put
in a very bad situation.
Don't really mind either way,
he decides to call.
Antonio now it's
time to bump it up.
Classic Antonio,
give him the check.
Give him the raise.
It is 26,000 now to play.
Very difficult situation
now for Trickett.
Not getting the odds to draw
but he is in position so
if he calls and gets there
he might be able
to extract a lot.
Also if Antonio's
bluffing and he calls
he might get a chance
to take him off his hand
on the river,
however this is a
very expensive raise.
I could see Sam going
either way here.
Very tough spot.
- So full of shit.
I'm not gonna look at
the river actually.
Had a draw.
- Stick around and we
will count some fat stacks
when we return to Poker Night
Presents Party Poker Live
at Playground Poker Club.
- Hello and welcome back.
There's still one episode left
for day one here in Montreal.
But as for now here's
where we stand.
We see Sam Trickett moving
back up only down $107,000.
Antonio extending his
lead up to 128,000
and Lauren Roberts's
profits down the drain.
On the next episode Antonio
gets put to the ultimate test.
And some highly
questionable call downs
from a certain somebody.
I won't say who,
but oh hey!
