Eskeland Finds a Straight on the River

Hold'em

Randy Ohel and Sigurd Eskeland recently managed to get a hefty sized pot started on the bubble. We caught up with the action on the flop of {3-Hearts}{4-Spades}{8-Clubs} when Ohel had called Eskeland's bet.

The turn was the {7-Diamonds}. Eskeland bet and called a raise from Ohel to get us to the {5-Clubs} river. Eskeland led out with one more bet and Ohel thought for a minute before calling.

We didn't get to see Ohel's cards, as they were mucked when he saw Eskeland's {4-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}.

Lunkin Times Three

Omaha 8/b

Christopher Amaral made a late position raise and was called by Matthew Vengrin on the button and Vitaly Lunkin in the big blind.

The flop came {k-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{5-Spades} Lunkin put his last 2,900 into the middle with both Vengrin and Amaral calling.

The turn was the {k-Hearts} and action was checked to the river, which brought the {j-Spades}. Amaral made a bet and was called by Vengrin.

Vengrin showed {3-Spades}{4-Spades}{a-Hearts}{7-Clubs} but it was no good against Lunkin's higher flush with {q-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{9-Spades}. What Amaral had will remain a mystery. He mucked his hand and Lunkin tripled up.

Golser Checks Out

Stud

Kirill Rabtsov: {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts} / {q-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} / {4-Hearts}
Marcus Golser: (X)(X) / {3-Hearts}{j-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} / (X)

We arrived at the scene of the bust to see Golser call bets from Rabtsov on fifth, sixth and seventh streets, with the last call putting him all in.

Rabtsov tabled a pair of queens which was good enough to knock out Golser, who mucked his cards.
