Double Knockout

We had a four-way all-in preflop encounter between a player in early position, Andy Black, Brandon Cantu, and Anthony Chatelain.

The board came {5-Hearts} {3-Spades} {A-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} {8-Diamonds}.

The player in early position player took the main pot with {9-Clubs} {8-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds}.

Andy Black took the side pot with {A-Hearts} {A-Spades} {K-Clubs} {4-Spades}.

Brandan Cantu was eliminated with {J-Spades} {10-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} {2-Spades}, as was Anthony Chatelain with {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Spades} {K-Spades} {J-Diamonds}.

From Side Pot to Whole Pot

Up To 125,000 Now
Up To 125,000 Now
Andy Black and three other players at his table are still involved in a pot at the turn stage with the board reading {K-Diamonds} {10-Spades} {5-Diamonds} {7-Clubs}.

A player in front of Black bets 4,000 before he raises up to 13,000. A player behind him calls but but the original bettor and the fourth player involved both fold.

The river comes {10-Clubs} and Black is set all in by his opponent.

He calls with {7-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} {K-Hearts} for a full house.

His opponent shows {J-Diamonds} {8-Spades} {9-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} for a missed flush draw, so attemped a bluff. Andy Black is not the right opponent to try that on

A Nasty Turn

On a board showing {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{5-Hearts}, Bruno Fitoussi bet 9,000, Jared Hamby raised all in to 29,000, and Fitoussi called.

Fitoussi showed A-K-10-9. He'd flopped a boat, and improved to nines full of kings on the turn. Unfortunately for him, Hamby held K-K-x-x, so that turn card had given him kings full of nines.

Hamby is up to 52,000, while Fitoussi slips to 18,000.

Not Jaffered

Jeff Kimber got his remaining 9,900 chips in on an {8-Spades} {3-Clubs} {7-Clubs} board.

He was holding {Q-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} {10-Spades} {8-Diamonds} for top pair but was behind to the {Q-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} of his opponent.

The turn {J-?} saved him though before the river blanked. Kimber up to 30,700 now.

First Grey, Then Black

A late position player bet out on a {9-Spades}{10-Spades}{3-Hearts} flop, David Grey bet 11,000, a middle position player reraised behind him, Frank Vizza repopped it from the button, and Grey pushed all in with his 110,000. Both players called.

Vizza had {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} for a wrap draw. David Grey had {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} for top set. And the third player had {Q-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for top two and a straight draw.

The turn was the {7-Diamonds}, giving Vizza the straight. The {5-Clubs} on the river didn't change things, and Vizza had eliminated two players.

On the very next hand, Vizza bet 9,000 on a flop of {J-Clubs}{8-Spades}{Q-Clubs}. Andy Black raised pot, Vizza reraised pot, and Black called with the rest of his chips.

Both had flopped straights. Black had {Q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{9-Clubs}, and Vizza {K-Spades}{10-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}. The turn was the {2-Clubs}, but the {A-Spades} on the river gave Vizza a better straight, and Black was out.

Vizza -- clearly the new chip leader -- is still stacking all of those chips. We'll get you a count as soon as he finishes.

Full Tilted

Peter Gould, Roland de Wolfe and two others see a flop with 80,000 in the middle already.

It reads {8-Spades} {7-Spades} {5-Hearts}.

Gould moves all in and only de Wolfe hangs around with an all-in call.

Gould reveals {8-Clubs} {9-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} {J-Spades}.
De Wolfe reveals {K-Spades} {3-Spades} {7-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds}.

The turn comes {4-Diamonds} and river {j-Diamonds}.

Gould takes down the big pot and is up to 155,000.

De Wolfe on the other hand is out.

Gould commented, "He must've still been on tilit from earlier."
