Brandon Adams Eliminated; Erica Schoenberg Picks Up Momentum

Brandon Adams
Brandon Adams
Brandon Adams was just eliminated when he flopped a flush draw, but found himself all in and drawing dead against Erica Schoenberg's full house.

Perhaps 10 or 15 minutes ago, Schoenberg was down to 3,500 in chips. She moved all in under the gun, got no callers, and picked up the blinds and antes. Shortly after that, she doubled through Brandon Adams with pocket kings. And her resurgence culminated with the full house that busted Adams.

Momentum is on Erica Schoenberg's side.

How About This Table and This Hand.

Side by side by side by side: Raymond Davis, Chris Ferguson, Nam Le, Mikael Thuritz, Layne Flack. Four players get into the pre-flop action and finally a couple of all-ins drive Layne Flack out but Raymond Davis makes the call of over 13K with a {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}; Mikael shows {A-Spades}{K-Clubs} and the unknown player with the short stack says: "Well I got nothing" and shows {6-Diamonds}{9-Spades}. An Ace (and two diamonds) on the flop puts Mikael ahead but runner, runner diamonds saves our short stack who held the sole diamond.

As the main pot is pushed to him he said: "I don't know what to say" and Layne Flack says: "Same thing your girlfriend says when you come home and find her in bed with another guy."

Enough said. Next hand.

Huckleberry Seed Eliminated

After a flop of {J-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{2-Diamonds}, Huckleberry Seed was all in against the player in seat 8. Seed showed {Q-Hearts}{10-Clubs} for a pair of tens, but he was dominated by his opponent's {Q-Diamonds}{J-Spades} -- a pair of jacks with the same kicker. Seed was looking for another ten, but the {A-Clubs} on the turn gave him additional outs to a straight draw. But the river card was the {8-Hearts}, and Huckleberry Seed was eliminated.

How Not to Play Poker......

Blinds are 200/400, UTG tosses a 1,000 chip into the pot and when the dealer says: "Call" the UTG says: "Oh I meant to ......"

Two players call and the Big Blind makes it 1K to go. The UTG with new life now raises to 5K, the two limpers fold and the BB actually says: "Doh!" But calls.

Flop is Q64, the UTG bets all-in, the BB folds and mumbles: "Show me the Aces." and he does.
