Dunwoodie Falls into Pedley's Trap

[user75032]

There will be no $500,000 payday for Thomas Dunwoodie this weekend. He raised preflop and was called only by Michael Pedley. The rest of their chips all went in the middle of a {10-?}

flop. Dunwoodie's pocket nines were drawing very slim against Pedley's pocket kings. The turn and river bricked out to allow Pedley to drag the pot and send Dunwoodie to the rail.

Pedley is now close to the century mark, with about 94,000 in chips.

Levy and Gill Can't Eliminate Myoga

[user75032]

Carter Gill and Grant Levy are both formidable players in their own right, but even with their combined powers they couldn't eliminate Kengo Myoga. Gill opened the pot with a raise to 3,100. Levy called from the cutoff before Myoga shoved all in from the big blind for 8,600. Both Gill and Levy called, then checked the action all the way down on a board of {3-Spades}

. Myoga sheepishly turned over {4-Hearts}

, but neither Gill nor Levy could come up with anything that beat a pair of deuces.

Myoga tripled up to 35,000.

[user67765]

With two limpers in the pot, James Honeybone popped it up to 5,600 from the button. Both opponents made the call.

The flop came down {7-Spades}

and the action was checked to Honeybone who fired out 8,000 to take down the pot as both opponents folded. He flashed {10-Clubs}

and raked in the chips as he quipped “I’m squeezing with nothing guys…give me some credit!” Honeybone is now up to 53,000.

Shoichi Fires, Fires, and Fires Again

[user75032]

After Piotr Gruszczynski limped into the pot from the under-the-gun position, Matsukawa Shoichi raised the price of poker to 4,000. All players folded back to Gruszczynski, who seemed nervous but made the call. He checked the {4-Clubs}

flop over to Shoichi, who bet 4,000. Gruszczynski again nervously called.

Both players checked the turn, which was the {Q-Hearts}

. On a harmless-looking {2-Spades}

river, Gruszczynski took a stab the pot with a bet of 5,000. Shoichi eyed Gruszczynski's stack for 20 seconds before confidently announcing a raise to 10,000. Gruszczynski, with only 14,000 chips left in his stack, sighed and folded.

Shoichi now has 60,000.
