ZOMG Hax!

Isaac Haxton has doubled up to almost 8,000 after he raised the button and the big blind set him in.

Haxton made the call with {A-Hearts} {Q-Spades} against the big blind's {K-Clubs} {J-Spades} and held on a {7-Spades} {2-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} {6-Spades} {Q-Clubs} board.

Four-Tunate

Michael Martin raises to 550 from early position and gets called by the small blind and James Sudworth in the big blind.

The flop is {K-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} and it's checked to Martin who bets 875. The small blind calls and Sudworth folds. The turn is the {4-Hearts} and this time the small blind check-calls a bet of 1,700. On the {A-Clubs} river, the small blind check-calls a third bet of 4,300 only to be shown {4-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} by the EPT London winner.

Sub-Stituted

Jeff 'Yellowsub' Williams has been busted from the tournament. He raised 600 from a stack of 1,900 in the cutoff and called all-in against the small blind only to find his {K-?} {J-?} dominated by {A-?} {A-?} and unable to hit a thing on the {Q-Diamonds} {2-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} {6-Hearts} board.

Schultz Leaves Raymer with Peanuts

Greg Raymer raises the button to 550 and Andy Schultz makes it 1,700 from the small blind, having regularly been reraising Raymer.

Raymer moves all-in for 13,000 and Schultz quickly calls with {Q-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds} which is ahead of Raymer's {A-Diamonds} {10-Clubs}. A board of {6-Spades} {Q-Spades} {10-Hearts} {K-Hearts} {2-Hearts} causes the former World Champion to say, "I guess I picked the wrong one to move in on."

He signs a fossil for his opponent and hits the rail.

Black-Boxed!

Andy Black raised to 600 from UTG+1, both the cut-off and button call. The flop is {6-Clubs} {5-Clubs} {4-Clubs} and it's checked to the button, who bets 900, with Black and the cut-off both calling. On the {6-Diamonds} turn, Black and the cut-off check again. The button bets 3,000 this time and Black moves all-in for 7,500 more.

The cut-off folds and the button quickly calls with {6-Spades} {6-Hearts} for quads. Black turns over a drawing dead {A-Clubs} {J-Clubs} and is off to the rail as the {5-Diamonds} river is put out.

This is Howie Do It

After a raise and a call, Howard Lederer tagged along for the party from the big blind. The flop of {K-Hearts} {2-Spades} {7-Spades} is checked around, and on the {2-Diamonds} it's checked to the button who bets 1,200. Lederer made the call and the original raiser folded.

Both players check the {5-Spades} and Lederer wins with {K-Clubs} {8-Clubs}

David Has the Small Blind Singing His Tune

Squeezing Out the Value

David Singer is up to 30,000 after winning a good pot.

He bet 1,400 on the flop of {2-Hearts} {K-Spades} {4-Hearts} from the big blind against the small blind and was called. Both checked the {4-Clubs} turn. On the {2-Clubs} river, it was checked to Singer a third time and he bet 3,200, got called, and showed {K-Diamonds} {5-Spades} and his opponent mucked.

Mizzi Gets Busy

No, I don't know what those animals on his shirt are doing either.
