Lend Us a Tenner

[user46392]

Sasha Rosewood raised and got looked up by Mark Tenner in the small blind to see a {10-Spades}

flop, which Tenner checked. Rosewood bet, Tenner called, and they saw themselves a {K-Hearts}

turn, which both players checked.

Tenner bet out on the {Q-Clubs}

river and Rosewood called -- but mucked as he stared at Tenner's {2-Hearts}

in smiling disbelief.

Tenner: up to 52,000
Rosewood: down to 45,000

"Kill me please," said James "Flushy" Dempsey, approaching the media perch; I obviously immediately agreed and started to look for weapons, but it then transpired he didn't really mean it.

"Worst table ever," he continued, strolling back to his actually very respectable 48,000 stack but frightening table featuring Steve Wong to his right, Mike Matusow to his left and John Racener thrown in there for good measure.

Scott Bohling Over the Opposition

[user46392]

Scott Bohlman is having a fine old time, scooping pots, knocking out other players and so on.

First up, he raised and got three callers including Shirley Rosario. It checked around to him on the {J-Spades}

flop and he bet; Rosario passed, by the by leaving herself on just 7,800, and the other two players called.

The action on the {3-Spades}

turn once again checked to him and again he bet; this time he got just one caller.

Check-bet-call again on the {4-Hearts}

river, and Bohlman flipped {A-Spades}

. His opponent mucked, and he was up to 96,000.

A few hands later, and he was up to 107,000, getting his short-stacked opponent all in on, we think, the flop of the {7-Hearts}

board. Bohlman held {8-Diamonds}

, his opponent held {A-?}

, and that was the end of that for the short stack.

Morgan Turns His Gin Card

[user75032]

There was no betting until the river on a board of {q-Clubs}

. It was there that Jordan Morgan finally led out with a bet that his opponent called. Morgan turned over {4-Hearts}

? ? [we didn't see] for the turned full house, fours full of queens. His opponent opened {A-Spades}

for trip deuces that were no good.

Morgan is still rocking the short stack, but at least has 18,000 chips now.

Flushy Makes a Flush

[user46392]

It looks as though it folded to James "Flushy" Dempsey in the small blind who raised; big blind Jameson Enoch called in the big. They saw a flop.

Flop: {10-Hearts}

Flushy bet out, only for Enoch to raise. Entirely undeterred, Flushy reraised, and Enoch called.

Turn: {K-Clubs}

Flushy bet out again and once more Enoch called. This is a big pot, isn't it?

River: {5-Clubs}

Again, Flushy bet out. Enoch raised again, and Flushy, his hand shaking ever so slightly, three-bet. Enoch called -- and mucked when Flushy showed him {A-Clubs}

for the flush and the nut low.

"Must be nice to be Flushy," commented Paul Parker, who'd strolled over to watch the action. Indeed -- Flushy's up to 80,000.

Racener Races Out the Door; Rosario Follows

[user75032]

John Racener picked the wrong time to make a move. He tried to steamroll his way to the pot on the turn of a {K-Hearts}

board, perhaps hoping to represent a straight or a flush. In reality Racener held {J-Clubs}

, a pair of tens and some slim draws. His opponent called with a set of kings, {A-Spades}

, which held up with the river {A-Diamonds}

.

Racener is busto. Shirley Rosario is also busto. She was very short-stacked after dinner and was never able to land the double-up that she needed.

How Fortunes Have Changed

[user75032]

Before dinner Josh Schlein was near the top of the counts. After losing several pots -- including a recent pot to Armando Ruiz -- Schlein is near the bottom of the counts.

Ruiz was the pre-flop aggressor, opening the pot with a raise. Schlein called to a flop of {Q-Spades}
