De Bora Runs Into Cowboys

[user66118]

Limit Hold'em:

Chris Rentes and Greg de Bora just clashed in a pot, and it ended up costing de Bora his whole stack.

Rentes opened from middle position with a raise, and de Bora reraised from the button. Rentes three bet it, and de Bora moved all in for just a small amount more, tabling {A-Hearts}

. He wasn't in good shape though, as Rentes flipped over {K-Spades}

.

The board came out {10-Hearts}

, providing no help for the at-risk de Bora and sending him to the rail. Rentes has upped his own count to 148,000.

The Limit Master

donpeters

Limit Hold'em:

Michael Guzzardi called a raise out of the big blind with three others in the hand. Guzzardi said, "All right, let me flop the nuts," right before the flop was dealt.

The flop came {J-Diamonds}

and Nick Binger checked from the small blind. Guzzardi checked, and then Jason Ruffinelli bet out. Sam Hiatt called and Binger folded. Guzzardi then announced raise. Only Ruffinelli called.

The turn came the {Q-Hearts}

and Guzzardi bet. Ruffinelli called. The river was the {A-Spades}

and Guzzardi bet again. Ruffinelli called as fast as Guzzardi could bet.

Guzzardi turned over {9-Spades}

for two pair. Ruffinelli looked disgusted and mucked his hand while mumbling something.

Guzzardi said, "Nine-deuce... the nuts!" as he raked in the chips.

Another player at the table yelled out, "You're the limit master!"

Guzzardi is now up to 125,000.
