The Sober Kind

Andy Black summoned a cocktail server to Blue #1.

"A tequila sunrise for this gentleman here," said Black, pointing at Ben Jensen seated to his left. Jensen looked up in surprise.

"No, that's just my joke," continued Black with a grin. "Just a bottle of water please."

Black's request prompted someone else at the table to quip, "What kind of Irishman are ya?"

The cocktail server said, "Right. One tequila sunrise coming up!" and left the table.

Another Suckout Busts Jackson

The chips were all in preflop with Raul Mestre taking his {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds} up against the {9-Clubs}{9-Spades} of Robert Jackson.

Jackson appeared set for a double up on the flop of {K-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{J-Hearts}, but the {8-Hearts} spiked on the turn to give Mestre the two-outer. The river was the {5-Diamonds} and the suckouts continue here in the early goings of Day 4 action as Jackson made the long trek out of the Rio.

Molloy Needs Another Ten

John Monnette opened the pot with a raise to 10,500 from early position. Action came around to Denise Molloy, and she moved all in for a total of 57,000. Monnette instantly called with {A-Diamonds} {A-Spades}, and Molloy's {10-Spades} {10-Diamonds} figured to be her last hand of the day.

The flop tripped up both players, coming {A-Hearts} {10-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} to leave Molloy dead to one out. "Oh wow," she said, shaking her head. "I need another ten." The turn came the blank {3-Clubs} as the ESPN cameras closed in on the table. "Ten of clubs," pleaded Molloy. And wouldn't you know it, the {10-Clubs} struck the river like a thunderbolt, drawing a big celebration from Molloy. She paced around the table yelling, "Oh my god! Quads! I had one out!" With that miracle one-outer, Molloy doubles her way up to 120,000, now just slipping ahead of Monnette.

Hensel Sets Up To Double

Reed Hensel was all in preflop for his last chips with {J-Diamonds}{J-Spades} and was racing against the {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} of Randy Crow.

The race was short-lived as the flop fell {6-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{2-Hearts} to give Hensel a set of jacks. The turn was the {9-Diamonds} and river the {5-Spades} and Hensel doubles to 245,000 with Crow slipping to 100,000.
