Nice Call

[user37786]

With the board reading {K-Hearts}

, Haralabos Voulgaris bet 6,800. His opponent thought about it for about 30 seconds before making the call. "I have a pair," Voulgaris said, showing {K-Clubs}

. His opponent looked at his cards and seemed quite happy to roll over {K-Diamonds}

for the chop.

Gold Steals One

[user75032]

On a board of {A-Hearts}

, Jamie Gold fired out a bet of 2,000 chips. The two other players in the hand with him both folded.

"Stolen, baby!" exulted Gold, clapping his hands. He turned over {10-Clubs}

. That pot was the first one for Gold in quite a while. He has seemed frustrated over the last half hour, unhappily snapping at other players several times. He's down to 8,000.
