Paul Evans Lives to See Dinner

Lucky guy.

Sheyn On
Raymond Stuwe raised under the gun and it folded right around to Avi Mukherjee in the small blind, who reraised with just 1,500 behind. Big blind Ilya Sheyn four-bet and Stuwe called; Mukherjee stuck his last in by way of an almost-cap.
"You're not gonna fold, are you?" joked Stuwe.
"No I am not going to fold," replied Sheyn humorlessly.
Both players called, and they saw a flop.
Flop: 
Sheyn bet out and Stuwe gave it up. Sheyn and Mukherjee turned their cards over.
Sheyn: 
Mukherjee:

River:
The turn and river both blanked out for Sheyn, despite him ordering, "Queen!" of the deck on both streets, and Mukherjee tripled up to 15,000 or so as Stuwe told the table, "The ace saved me!"
Sheyn is in no trouble though - he's still at 70,000.

Hawrilenko Out in Two Hands

Triple Double for Shulman

flop, and they were on their proverbial backs.

Barry Had a Little Lamb
There had been at least one raise before the flop, and when we arrived on the aforementioned flop, Barry Greenstein (small blind) had already bet in the dark. Ben Lamb (button) made the call.
Greenstein bet in the dark before the turn as well and once more Lamb called. He rather gave up on the river, though, and Lamb checked behind.
Greenstein: 
Lamb: 
Lamb's pocket fives took the pot, and Greenstein was reduced to 9,000.
----
A few hands later, Greenstein and Lamb got involved again, this time in a blind on blind confrontation. Greenstein was all in for around 5,000 total on the turn of the 
board, and Lamb had made the call. "You're drawing dead," said Greenstein as he flipped 
for a straight and Lamb turned over the trailing - although someone swiftly pointed out that Lamb could pick up a six on the river for a chop. Either way, the six didn't come, and Greenstein doubled back up to 10,000 or so.
