Dr. Pauly Makes a Move

Paul McGuire raises under the gun to 5,000, Men 'The Master' Nguyen calls from the small blind, and the big blind calls. The flop comes {A-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}, Nguyen checks, and the big blind makes a move like he is about to check, but he freezes before taking an action, like he has second thoughts. A few players at the table laugh, but everyone waits for him to make up his mind. He decides to bet 6,000. McGuire moves all in for 23,000, Nguyen folds, and the big blind folds. McGuire takes the pot, increasing his stack to 47,000.

Erica Schoenberg Doubles Through Julie Dang

Erica Schoenberg raises under the gun to 9,000, Julie Dang moves all in from the cutoff, and Schoenberg calls all in with {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}. Dang shows {K-Spades}{J-Diamonds}, and Schoenberg is a big favorite to double up.

The board comes {A-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{4-Spades}{A-Hearts}{7-Spades}, and Schoenberg's kings hold up to win the pot, and she doubles up to 55,000. Dang drops down to 12,000.

Paul McGuire folded A-J in middle position, and it would have been the winning hand.

Thank You, Jesus

A player is all in preflop with {A-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} against Chris 'Jesus' Ferguson's {A-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}. The board comes {J-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{7-Spades}{6-Diamonds}, and Ferguson's opponent doubles up with a pair of eights.

After the hand, Ferguson's opponent gave him a heartfelt, "Thank you, Jesus."

Erica Schoenberg Starting Day Two Strong

Four players limp to see a flop of {10-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{5-Clubs}. Two players check, a middle position player bets 4,000, Erica Schoenberg calls from the cutoff, and the first two players fold. The turn card is the {Q-Clubs}, her opponent bets 7,000, Schoenberg raises to 21,000, her opponent moves all in, and Schoenberg calls with {K-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for a club flush. Her opponent shows {J-Hearts}{9-Hearts}, and he's drawing dead with an open-ended straight draw. (The meaningless river card is the {9-Clubs}.)

Erica's opponent goes home, while she increases her stack to 92,000.
