After an opponent completed third street with the {5-Diamonds}

, Kathy Liebert raised the {Q-Spades}

. Only that opponent called. Liebert caught the {5-Hearts}

on fourth to the {2-Spades}

for her opponent. She bet, and again the opponent called.

Before fifth street came down, Liebert said, "OK, I'm only going to bet if you catch a jack." Liebert, who caught the {7-Hearts}

, was good to her word and bet after her opponent caught the {J-Spades}

. He quickly folded.

Just Another Day at the Office

[user75032]

As we walked by Chris "Jesus" Ferguson's table, he was involved in a pot against one opponent. Ferguson had a board of x-x / {5-Spades}

and called after his opponent, with a board of x-x / {A-Hearts}

, bet. On the river, Ferguson's opponent bet again, and Ferguson called again.

"Flush," said his opponent triumphantly, exposing three hearts in the hole to match the two on his board.

"Flush is good," replied Ferguson, showing two pair, aces and fours. He tossed his cards into the muck and went back to reading a magazine.

Ferguson currently has about 2,200 in chips.

Bust One Event, Start Another

[user38368]

Unfortunately, that means some of them had to play at the same table! Here they are:

Hoyt Corkins
Tony G
Chris "Jesus" Ferguson

These two are elsewhere:
Kathy Liebert
Men "The Master" Nguyen
