Durrrr Doubles

[user57954]

Four players limped in to see a flop of {4-Diamonds}

.

Lenny Barshack opened the betting on the flop with a 3,500 bet. Tom "Durrrr" Dwan then raises another 6,700. Barshack then announces "re-raise" as the pot is cut down, before he pots it for another 25,200. Dwan instantly announces he is all in. His stack is cut down and he only has another 700 chips, so Barshack makes a reluctant but obvious call saying "I have nothing".

Barshack: {Q-Spades}

Dwan:

The turn comes {3-Clubs}

and river

and Dwan makes a full house to take down a huge pot as he doubles up!

Watkinson Doubles Through Pescatori

[user38449]

All-time WSOP Omaha Money Winner Lee Watkinson

Lenny Barshack opened with a min-raise from early position and Max Pescatori made the call. Action then folded around to Lee Watkinson on the button who bet the pot, making it an additional 9,000 to go.

Action then returned to Barshack who considered his decision long and hard before making the call, leaving him with just 4,000 behind. Pescatori also made the call and the action was three-way to the flop.

Flop: {Q-Hearts}

Barshack passed the first action to the 'Italian Pirate,' who opened with a 20,000 bet, putting both of his opponents to a decision for all of their chips. Watkinson made the call rather quickly and Barshack opted to fold, saving his last 4,000 worth of chips for another hand.

At the showdown, the players revealed:

Pescatori: {Q-Diamonds}

Watkinson: {A-Hearts}

The turn and river filled out {5-Diamonds}

,

and Watkinson took down the pot (~70,000) with two pair, aces and tens.

Chip Leader Gets Pampered

[user38449]

Tournament chip leader Mark Kassis has requested the services of one of the Crown's in-house masseurs for an extra bit of table-side relaxation. Life is damn hard when you're the chip leader...

Max Pescatori Eliminated in 9th Place (AU$10,320)

[user57954]

Five players limped into the pot and took a flop of {8-Clubs}

.

The action is checked around to Tom "Durrrr" Dwan on the button who makes a bet of 3,700. It's folded to Max Pescatori who check-raises to 19,100 total. Dwan asks for a count and appears to be working out the math of his decision. Pescatori has around 25,000 behind, as Dwan lets out a sigh and casually declares he is all in. Pescatori calls and the cards are flipped:

Pescatori: {A-Clubs}
