A Chip and a Chair

MarcC

Jeff Madsen and Roland de Wolfe tangled in a big pot. The board read:

{A-Spades}

De Wolfe led out for a 1,000 bet on the river and Madsen called, but mucked upon seeing de Wolfe's {3-Clubs}

for the nut straight. Madsen down to a single 25 chip now.

Madsen went out soon after, failing to spin that one chip up.

Ramdin's Boat Sunk

Shamus

On a flop of {9-Hearts}

, Victor Ramdin got all of chips in the middle holding the current nuts. His {9-Clubs}

gave him nines full of sevens. His opponent showed {9-Spades}

for trip nines. Only a king or ace would best Ramdin.

Unfortunately for Ramdin, a king popped out on the turn, and he has been eliminated.

Alex Kravchenko lost most of his stack when his J-10-9-7 failed to overcome his opponent's A-A-x-x. The flop of Q-8-5 was promising for Kravchenko, but neither the turn nor river brought him his needed straight card.

On the next hand, Kravchenko picked up aces himself, drawing {5-Hearts}

, and pushed the rest of his chips in the middle. Jamie Robbins called him with {10-Spades}

.

The board came {6-Diamonds}

, with that eight on the river giving Robbins the straight and the hand. Kravchenko is out.

Andy Black Making Himself Known

MarcC

Andy Black is being very vocal and helping the floor staff do their job. Whenever there is a seat free he's shouting to get it filled up as soon as possible. His current dealer may be a little shy to get himself heard. No fear of that happening with Mr Black!
