To the Victor Goes the Spoils

The board read {j-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} when PokerStars Team USA Pro Victor Ramdin and an opponent got all the chips in the middle.

Ramdin's {a-Spades}{j-Hearts} was in front, but his opponent held {a-Clubs}{7-Clubs} and was drawing to any club in the deck. The {7-Spades} on the turn gave him two more outs as well, but the {9-Hearts} on the river bricked off.

Ramdin successfully doubled to 105,000 chips and is looking for another deep run at the 2010 WSOP.

Thomas Bichon

On the turn of a {4-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{6-Clubs} board, Paul Biggs checked, Thomas Bichon bet 15,000 and Biggs moved all in for 45,000. Bichon paused briefly before making the call.

Biggs: {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}
Bichon: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}

A blank on the river meant Biggs was gone, whilst PokerStars Team France Pro Bichon jumped up to 119,000.

Brikdog Chipping Up

Josh "brikdog24" Brikis and Tom Schneider were heads up with the board reading {7-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{2-Clubs}. Brikis led for 7,200 and Schneider called.

Both players checked the {6-Hearts} on the river and Brikis rolled over {a-Spades}{q-Clubs} for a pair of queens. Schneider mucked, and Brikis is now up to 92,000 chips. Schneider slipped to 102,000.

Munchies

Sean Hodge must have the munchies today as he's collated more chips than the Lay's factory. With 277,000 in front of him, he isn't the chip daddy, he's the chip grandaddy!

Biggs Busts Myung

John Myung moved all in for his remaining 23,000 chips and his only caller was Paul Biggs.

Showdown
Myung: {k-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
Biggs: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}

The board ran {7-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{6-Hearts}, and Biggs' ace was good enough for the knockout.

Biggs is up to 54,000 chops while Myung is busto.

Sherwood Survives... Just

Manchester's Rob Sherwood found himself all in moments ago from the big blind with {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs} versus the {A-Hearts}{9-Hearts} of the under-the-gun player.They say poker's not an athletic sport, but you'd have to be in good shape not to have a heart attack on this board, the dealer rolling out an eventful {4-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{J-Spades} to double the Brit through. He now has 83,000.

The turn was the {5-Hearts} and Schneider again checked. Wilson fired 13,600 and Schneider tanked for a bit before shoving for 49,500 total. Wilson thought for a bit before folding.
