Gank Likes Pocket Fives

[user25067]

Just before the dinner break, a late position player moved all in for 5,700 and Brett "Gank" Jungblut thought for a long time before finally calling. Jungblut tabled {5-Hearts}

while his opponent showed {K-Diamonds}

. Jungblut hit his set on the {10-Diamonds}

flop, and his opponent did not go runner-runner to improve on the {3-Clubs}

turn or the {A-Spades}

river.

"If I think I have the best hand, I call. That's how I play. Whether it's queen-high, whether it's pocket deuces," Jungblut said at the conclusion of the hand.

Erica Schoenberg Eliminated

[user39120]

No more Event # 27 for Erica, who moved in with {8-Clubs}

, and was called by a player with {4-Spades}

. The flop looked good {10-Hearts}

to Erica's opponent, and the turn was a very interesting card, the {4-Diamonds}

. So, the opponent turned a set, but it gave Erica an open ended straight draw. The river missed {9-Spades}

, and Erica is out. Here is a not necessary, but nice, picture of Erica to tide you over until tomorrow.

David Williams Putting On a Show

[user37786]

It seems like every five minutes we're getting an update on a crazy David Williams hand. After a short-stacked player moved in for his last 3,175 Williams asked, "Do you want some loose action?" Apparently the other player said he wouldn't mind it because Williams called with {8-Clubs}

and eventually lost the pot to his opponent's {A-Clubs}

.

A few hands later Williams again faced an all-in raise before the flop. "One of these days one of these loose calls is going to work out for me," he said, just before calling with {6-Hearts}

. His opponent's {J-Hearts}

wasn't quite a premium hand either, but this was "one of those days" as Williams flopped two pair and turned a full house.

Not content with that bit of good fortune, Williams tried making a move against Darren Kowalczik. With the board showing {3-Spades}

Kowalczik bet 5,000, Williams raised 10,000 more, and Kowalczik moved all-in. Williams had to make the call and turned over {J-Spades}

, while Kowalczik had... {A-Clubs}

. The

on the river paired Kowalczik and didn't make Williams' flush, winning Darren the pot.

Williams was so ticked off about the whole hand that he paid off in green 25 chips, so Kowalczik now has a green fortress sitting in front of him. He's stack now sits at 39,000.
