You Wat?

The flop was already out and looking like {8-Spades} {7-Clubs} {K-Clubs}.

Lee Watkinson led out for 2,500 before a player in the big blind raised to 10,000. Watkinson moved all in and found a caller.

Watkinson tabled {Q-Clubs} {9-Clubs} {K-Spades} {J-Diamonds} to his opponent's {8-Clubs} {J-Hearts} {8-Hearts} x.

The turn {5-Clubs} made the flush for Watkinson before the river blanked.

Lee is up to 29,000 now.

Sherkhan Farnood, Giant Killer

A big-stacked Sherkhan Farnood just had Chad Brown, Phil Ivey, and Layne Flack all in. On a flop of {10-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{3-Clubs}, here's what they had:

Farnood {K-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{8-Spades}{6-Hearts}
Brown {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{3-Hearts}
Ivey {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{4-Hearts}
Flack {J-Spades}{10-Spades}{6-Clubs}{5-Clubs}

The turn was the {Q-Hearts} and the river the {8-Diamonds}. Amazingly, Farnood's two pair were enough, and he took all the chips. He's up to 60,000.

Shouldn't call him a "giant killer," though. As you might have guessed, all three of the losers rebought.

The G Man

Tony G turned up just before the break and and managed to lose his stack to an opponent in his first hand. He double rebought and then manged to triple this up to 18,000 when he flopped a set of threes.
