Not As Easy as it S-Eames

John Eames has been quietly plugging along with a medium-low stack today. He was just seen contemplating a 5,000 bet on the river on a board of {J-?} {J-?} {Q-?} {9-?} {Q-?}. He had checked his option and was considering his opponent's bet into the small pot. He eventually decided to call with ace high, {A-Hearts} {4-Diamonds} . His opponent mucked and Eames took the pot.

Either Orr

Gert Cooman has coinflipped his way to a full double up, his {A-Diamonds} {J-Clubs} coming good against Eldon Orr's {5-Spades} {5-Hearts} on a {10-Diamonds} {J-Spades} {K-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} {4-Spades} board.

Cooman: 26,000
Orr: down to 21,000

Sixes Bring Down Baier - Twice

Christian Baier has suffered a dreadful demise.

He had called Ashley Hames' push, and things were looking very good for him.

Baier: {A-Clubs} {A-Hearts}
Hames: {6-Hearts} {6-Spades}

Board: {2-Spades} {6-Clubs} {10-Hearts} {5-Spades} {K-Spades}

"You are the devil," commented a tablemate.

"Get in, my son," replied a very cheerful Hames.

The next hand, it folded around to Baier on the button, who called all in for his last 1,100. The small blind limped in, the big blind checked, and they saw a {5-Hearts} {J-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds} flop. The small blind bet out, the big blind folded, and they were on their backs.

Baier: {6-Clubs} {6-Spades}
Small blind: {Q-Hearts} {10-Spades}

Turn: {4-Clubs}
River: {J-Clubs}
