Three-Way Big Pot Action

[user22113]

Frank Cremen opens the pot with a raise before Mitchell Martin, in the next seat, three-bets it and Arash Beral four-bets it. Both players make the call so to a flop we go.. {2-Diamonds}

.

It's checked to Arash who makes a bet before Frank raises. It's enough for Mitchell to get out of the way before Arash reraises and Frank calls. The turn brings {A-Hearts}

before a check-call from Frank ends the hand. Frank mucks once he sees Arash's {Q-Spades}

but he's still sitting pretty on 50,200 while Arash is now up to 29,800.

Off to Tend to His Sheep

[user22113]

Rick Sheperd has fallen just short of the money. He got it all in preflop with the strong-looking {Q-Spades}

and was happy to see he was up against an opponent's {K-Clubs}

. All was looking good too as the cards were dealt -- that was until a cruel king fell on the river!

Bellys Are Full, Back to the Action

[user22113]

Players have had their dinner break and are back at the tables as the first hand is dealt out. All MP3 players and the like are now banned so their full concentration will be on making the final table. Cards are in the air.

Just into the Money

[user22113]

It's folded around to Rudolph Silich on the button who opens the pit with a raise. Ultra short-stacked Greg Wohletz is in the big blind and only has 200 left after he posted his blind. He makes the automatic call holding {Q-Spades}

and is up against {A-Clubs}

. Neither player improves their hand and the ace high prevails to knock out Greg Wohletz in 80th place.
