We Have A Flop . . . What?

Sirious Jamshidi opened to 2,500 from the button and Mark Dickstein made the call from the big blind.

The dealer burnt one and spread the {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{8-Hearts} flop.

"Whoa. Hey. What you doing?" asked Dickstein.

The Tournament Director was called over and the deck - along with the flop - was shuffled before both players drew one.

Dickstein checked, Jamshidi fired out 3,200 and Dickstein folded looking visibily upset.

"You would of got the ace anyway . . . he was only trying to help" jokingly stated Doug Booth as the dealer began the next hand.

Heimiller Hits the Rail

David Baker raised to 2,500 from the cutoff, Dan Heimiller called from the button, then Mike Watson pushed it up to 9,000 from the SB. Baker got out, but Heimiller decided to go ahead and shove all in for 12,300 more. Watson called.

Watson stood pat, while Heimiller drew one. Watson showed {10-}{9-}{7-}{6-}{5-}. Heimiller turned over his four original cards -- {5-}{4-}{3-}{2-} -- then the one he'd picked up on the draw, a sadly pairing {5-}. Heimiller is out, while Watson moves up to 69,000.

Eric Cloutier called Robert Mizrachi's all in pre-draw with both players standing pat.

"Ten-eight" announced Mizrachi, only to have Cloutier table his {9-}{7-}{6-}{4-}{3-}.

Mizrachi sat there looking at his cards for nearly two minutes before tossing them into the muck before exiting the tournament.

Kings For Zolotow

Steve Zolotow from the Event #15 Final Table
Steve Zolotow from the Event #15 Final Table

With the action folding round to Steve Zolotow on the button, he entered the pot with a raise to 3,200.

Tom Dwan sat in the big blind staring directly at Zolotow for over a minute before grabbing chips from each of his stacks before deciding on a bet of 11,800.

"This is a good starting hand" commented Zolotow as he tabled his {8-}{3-}{2-}, before adding, "but this isn't" as he rolled his {K-}{K-} to go with it.

Zolotow mucked his hand while slipping to 48,000 as Dwan climbs to over 55,000 in chips.

Daniel Negreanu

Daniel Negreanu opened to 4,000 from under the gun and Anton Allemann made the call from the big blind.

Allemann tabled his pair of sixes as Negreanu rolled over his {8-}{6-}{4-}{5-}{5-} for a pair of fives.

"Nice hand" stated Allemann.

"Nobody had any heart" Negreanu added as he raked in the pot to move to 68,000 in chips.
