Roller Coaster Board

Over at table 7, a player in Seat 2 moved all in for his last 950 chips and was called by the Big Blind in Seat 6.

Seat 2: {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}
Seat 6: {q-Spades}{8-Spades}

The flop came {q-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{8-Clubs}, which our all-in player didn't like too much. But the {k-Clubs} on the turn put him back ahead and in position to double up, which he did after the {6-Clubs} came on the river.

Jamshidi Back to Square One

Sirous Jamshidi got involved in a raised pot with a three-way flop reading {3-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}. At that point, a player with the biggest of the three stacks shoved all in.

Both Jamshidi and the other player both called with about 1,125 each.

Jamshidi: {a-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}
Player 1: {a-Spades}{3-Spades}
Player 2: {a-Clubs}{10-Hearts}

The all-in player might have had the best hand to start, but he fell behind when the other players paired their threes.

The board ran out with the {8-Spades} on the turn and the {8-Hearts} on the river, allowing Jamshidi to jump to about 3,000 chips.

Donkey Bombing

Tom Schneider was recently part of a group of three players to see a flop of {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}. The player in the small blind bet 400 into the pot with a player in middle position calling as well as Schneider, who was on the button.

The turn brought the {5-Clubs} into play and action was checked to Schneider, who made a bet of 1,500. The small blind folded, but the player in middle position called, putting himself all in.

Schneider: {a-Hearts}{3-Hearts}
Opponent: {q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

The {6-Clubs} came on the river, not providing any help to Schneider's opponent who found himself knocked out. Meanwhile Schneider is up to 12,000 in chips.

Hansen Folds to a Shove

A player in early position called before action folded to the small blind, who also called. Thor Hansen checked his option and we were off to a three-way flop.

The flop came {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{4-Clubs} and the blinds both checked. When the player in early position bet 400, the small blind folded and Hansen called.

The turn was the {k-Diamonds} and Hansen checked once again. When the early position player moved all in for about 1,800, Hansen folded.

Meehan Punishes Limpers

Jim Meehan was in the big blind when a player in middle position, the cutoff, the button and the small blind all limped in. Meehan was having none of it and went all in for about 4,100. When the table had folded, Meehan showed {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}.

McEachern Finds Help on the River

We arrived to this hand a little late, but we do know that there was a bet of 500 on a flop reading {4-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{2-Spades} with two callers, one of whom was Lon McEachern.

When the turn came {3-Spades}, McEachern checked but the player to his left went all in for 2,275. Once the third player folded, McEachern thought for a bit before making the call.

McEachern: {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}
Opponent: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}

McEachern needed a lot of help to win the hand, and he got it when the {q-Spades} came on the river, giving him three of a kind.

McEachern now has 14,000 chips.

Toy Man Has Better Missed Flush

Dave Cohen raised to 400 from under the gun and his only taker was the player in the hijack position. The flop came down {2-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{k-Spades} and Cohen committed 500 chips to the middle, once more getting called.

The turn was the {8-Spades} and Cohen fired another bullet, this time for 900, and again got called. Both players checked the {3-Diamonds} on the river.

Cohen showed {8-Hearts}{9-Hearts} for a missed flush draw, but managed to pair his 8, which was better than his opponent's missed flush with {a-Hearts}{5-Hearts}.
