McHenry Stu'd

[user46392]

Stuart McHenry is down on his luck and devoid of chips -- he smacked his {K-Clubs}

into another player's {A-Spades}

, all in preflop.

Board: a very unhelpful {J-Clubs}

Dog Andreas Afternoon

[user46392]

Andreas Martens is out in 30th place in fairly ugly circumstances.

He raised under the gun and called a late position reraise to see an {A-Spades}

flop. He checked, Mr. Late Position bet, Martens raised, Mr. Late Position reraised, and Martens called all in for his very last 3,000.

Martens: {A-Clubs}

for two pair
Mr. Late Position: {A-Hearts}

for a pair of aces

Turn: (look away now if you're of a nervous disposition) {K-Clubs}

River:

Out he goes.

Needle King Becomes the River King

[user46392]

Marc Naalden dropped a few chips somewhere along the line but was back up to 210,000 after his {4-?}

turned out nice on the {7-Spades}

board to crack his opponent's pocket jacks.

And if that weren't enough, a couple hands later he smacked the river again, this time ending Matt Dames' tournament life.

Board: {9-Spades}

Naalden:

Dames: flashed the {5-Spades}

before departing.

Naalden is now even more chipped up than he was before.

Ms. Nancy Blaustein was not looking in good shape way back on the bubble -- she had 2,000 chips left and it was her big blind. Yikes.

But wait! She was suddenly moved to a different table and got four free hands, lucky lady. She made the money, and not only that, she's clawed her way up to 65,000.

Mike Thorpe Needs to Go Pee

[user46392]

Mike Thorpe: "Does anyone need to go pee?"

Brian Cospolich: "We don't want to hear about your bodily functions."

Mike Thorpe: "You're a doctor, that's all you hear about all day!"

Tripled to a Shortie

MarcC

A player in the cut off raised before Daniel Negreanu moved all in for 7,500. The BB called as did the initial raiser. There was no action to create a side pot so we were left with a {4-Spades}
