David Singer Fills Up to Scoop Another Pot

With a flop of {K-Spades}{8-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} showing, David Singer put out a bet of 425 under the gun. With calls from a late-position player and the button, the three players saw {6-Hearts} come on the turn. Everyone checked to the river, which produced the {8-Clubs}. Singer led out with a 2,000 bet that was called by the late-position player and was enough for the button to fold. Singer showed {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs} as the player mucked. Singer now sits with about 13,500 in front of him.

Scotty Nguyen Wastes No Time After the Break

In middle position, Scotty Nguyen raised pre-flop to 325 and was called by only the big blind. The flop came down {7-Spades}{8-Clubs}{6-Clubs} and was checked by the big blind. Scotty bet 600 and was called, sending the pair to the turn. With the turn producing {4-Spades} the big blind bet 1,100 and received a call from Scotty. The {8-Spades} came on the river and was checked by both players. The big blind showed Scotty the {5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} resulting in a muck from Scotty.

Scotty Bounces Back with Pocket Rockets

We caught the tail end of a hand that saw seven players limp into the pot pre-flop with the board showing {7-Spades}{10-Spades}{7-Clubs}{10-Clubs}. A bet of 300 from the cutoff sent everyone but Scotty Nguyen packing. The river brought {7-Diamonds} to complete a scary board. After it was checked down, Scotty picked up the pot with a pocket pair of aces, giving him sevens full. He now has right around 7,000 in chips.
