And the Beat Goes On

Today Glyn Banks had his aces cracked by a J-10 that made a straight on the river. Yesterday, I walked by his table just as his kings were cracked by a J-8 offsuit that made a second pair on the river. Banks is still holding on to a good stack today, but he doesn't like his run of cards lately.

Hachem vs. Raymer

Joe Hachem limped in from the cutoff, the button limped, the small blind completed, and Greg Raymer checked from the big blind. The flop was {6-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{2-Clubs}. The small blind checked, Raymer checked, Hachem bet 300, the button folded, the small blind folded, Raymer raised to 1,000, and Hachem called. The turn was the {2-Diamonds} and Raymer bet 1,500. Hachem counted out a stack of chips looking like he was about to make a raise, but ultimately folded.

After the hand, the button asked Raymer, "Could you beat a deuce?"

"What was your kicker?" Raymer wondered.

"An ace," said the button.

"You would have been old news," quipped Raymer.

Mark Gregorich is Flushed

Mark Gregorich raised it to 300 pre-flop and was call by 3 players. On a flop of {A-Clubs}{2-Spades}{9-Spades}, Gregorich bets out 500 and finds one caller. Gregorich bets out 1000 on a turn of {J-Spades}, gets reraised all-in and calls. Gregorich flips over {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs} for a set and his opponent turns over {6-Spades}{7-Spades} for a flush. The river is a {3-Spades} and Gregorich is out.

A Queen Couldn't Save Liz Lieu

Hoyt Corkins limped under the gun and Liz Lieu made it 650 from the small blind. Corkins re-raised it to 1,100 and Lieu pushed all in. Hoyt had {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts} and Lieu had {Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades}. The flop and turn of {K-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{9-Clubs} gave Hoyt the nut flush. The {Q-Hearts} on the river was just salt in Lieu's wound and she was eliminated on the hand.
