Honeybone Collects Small One

James Honeybone
James Honeybone

With around 2,000 in the pot and the board reading {J-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{8-Hearts} James Honeybone was faced with a 600-chip bet from his opponent in the small blind.

"Be careful" his opponent smirked before Honeybone made it 2,100 to go.

"You don't raise with a Queen-Nine on the flop?" added Honeybone's opponent before making it 4,100 total.

"Sometimes New Zealand people can be crazy too" responded Honeybone before moving all in for 13,100.

"Flush draw?" asked Honeybone's opponent.

Honeybone replied with a blunt no before his opponent eventually folded his {K-}{J-} as Honeybone collected the pot to return him just shy of his starting stack.

Le Jossec Flush'd with Chips

Currently the average stack is over 100-big blinds.

But that still hasn't deterred three players finding themselves all in without the most superior of holdings.

With a limp ahead of him, Gabriel Le Jossec bumped it from the button to 700 before the small blind three-bet to 2,200.

The limper smooth-called before Le Jossec moved all in. The small blind made the call for his 13,750 as the limper called for his last 7,150.

Limper: {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}
Le Jossec: {K-Hearts}{J-Hearts}
Small Blind: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

The board ran out {6-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{7-Hearts} to see Le Jossec's flush eliminate both players as he rocketed up to 50,000 in chips.

Grigg Forces Aces to Fold

Tom Grigg opened to 400 preflop and was called by Hugh Cohen next to act before the small blind three-bet to 1,225.

Grigg made the call as Cohen passed before the {5-Spades}{9-Spades}{10-Spades} flop was spread by the dealer. Grigg check-called 1,500, and when the {k-Spades} landed on the turn, both players checked it through.

The river landed the {5-Diamonds}, and after his opponent checked, Grigg fired out 3,000. His opponent went deep into the tank before open-folding his {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs} as Grigg happily collected the pot and tabled his {K-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}.

Samson Clips Hockin

After unsuccessfully defending her big blind in a raised pot when she folded to a turn bet on a board reading {K-Spades}{9-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{J-Clubs}, Sunshine Samson has picked up a nice pot to send her back up the leaderboard.

With a limp ahead of her, Samson made it 650 to go from the button, only to have Paul Hockin three-bet to 1,700 from the big blind.

The limper passed, but Samson casually tossed in the necessary chips to make the call as the {j-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} flop was followed by a 2,100-chip continuation bet from Hockin.

Pausing for a few moments, Samson bumped it to 4,500 to force a fairly prompt fold from Hockin as he slipped below the 14,000-chip mark while Samson climbs to 43,400 in chips.

His opponent made the call before checking the {Q-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{6-Hearts} flop as Grigg fired out 1,350. His opponent check-raised to 3,000 and Grigg made the call as the {3-Diamonds} landed on the turn and the action was checked to Grigg again.

Grigg fired out 2,250 and his opponent this time check-called before both players checked the {9-Spades} on the river.

Grigg tabled his {A-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} to best his opponent's {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} as he climbed back to 20,000 in chips.

Graham Straightens Out Opponent

Three players - two of which were Jarred Graham and Neil Arce - committed 700 preflop to see a {10-Clubs}{3-Spades}{J-Spades} flop.

The original raiser fired out a continuation bet of 1,300 with Graham making the call from the cutoff before Arce folded from out of the small blind.

The turn of the {8-Spades} saw Graham faced with a 1,400-chip bet only to see him bump it to 3,400. His opponent made the call before check-calling 2,000 when the river landed the {3-Hearts}.

Graham tabled his {Q-Hearts}{9-Spades} for a turned straight, while his opponent tabled her {K-Spades}{J-Diamonds} before mucking and relinquishing the pot to Graham as he climbed to 27,400 in chips.
