Nguyen's Favourite Hand

[user67765]

After calling a preflop raise, Bruce Nguyen decided to check-raise the {Q-Hearts}

flop, making it 1,500 to play. His opponent called, and the {J-Clubs}

hit the turn. Nguyen checked again, but this time just flat called the 2,500-chip bet.

On the {9-Diamonds}

river, Nguyen plonked all of his last 7,000 chips into the middle and his opponent quickly called. Nguyen revealed {9-Hearts}

for trip nines, which was good to take it down and move up to 21,000 chips.

The Poker Star herself, Amanda De Cesare struggled to get going today and was lamenting the fact that she lost with pocket aces and then twice with ace-king during the first ten minutes of play.

"I was tilting my brain off, but I'm ok now..." she sighed. After earlier being down to 4,500, De Cesare is now back up to around 14,000.

People Like To Give Sorel Their Chips

[user76023]

It's an easy game. You hit hands and everyone just tries to bluff you needlessly.

Sorel Mizzi raised preflop to 550 and got two callers and they saw a {9-Diamonds}

flop.

The board was checked to Mizzi who bet 900, the first caller folded but the big blind check-raised to 2,500. Mizzi made the call.

On the {A-Hearts}

the big blind bet 3,000 and again Mizzi called and the hand reached the {10-Hearts}

river where the big blind moved all-in for 5,600. Mizzi called with {9-Hearts}

and the big blind could only produce an airball of {K-Spades}

.

The very next hand...

Mizzi again raised to 550 and the small blind called.

Both players checked the {A-Hearts}

flop before the small blind fired out bets of 1,000 and 2,000 on the {A-Spades}

turn and

river. Mizzi called down with {J-Clubs}

to which his opponent could only show {K-Hearts}

.

Mizzi has jumped up to 55,000.
