"Coast-to-Coast Bluffer"

Dwyte Pilgrim - bluffing coast to coast.
Dwyte Pilgrim - bluffing coast to coast.

Paul Berende raised in middle position, and Dwyte Pilgrim defended his big blind. The flop came down {3-Spades}{5-Spades}{4-Diamonds}, and Pilgrim check-called a bet. While the dealer was burning a second card, Berende re-checked his cards.

"They change?" Pilgrim needled.

"They're still good," Berende chuckled.

Both players checked when the {6-Hearts} hit the felt, and the {a-Hearts} completed the board. Pilgrim led out, and Berende quickly mucked.

"I'm a coast-to-coast bluffer," Pilgrim announced after the hand. "Keep that in the back of your mind."

John Myung triples up.

John Myung opened from the cutoff, John Virtue called in the small blind, and Mitchell Davis defended his big. The flop was {j-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}, and the action checked to Myung, who bet. Both Virtue and Davis called.

The turn was the {2-Clubs}, and the action checked to Myung again. He bet all in for 9,000 - less than half of a big bet - and both Virtue and Davis called. Virtue and Davis checked when the {a-Clubs} completed the board, and Myung tabled {k-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for a rivered flush.

He scooped the pot, tripling to 140,000 chips.

John Myung Eliminated in 8th Place ($19,474)

John Myung - 8th Place.
John Myung - 8th Place.

John Myung raised from the cutoff, Kenny Hsiung made it three bets on the button, Mitchell Davis made it four bets from the big blind, and Myung moved all in for 57,000. There was a discussion as to whether or not Hsiung could put in another raise, because Myung's all in wasn't a full raise. An extra raise would lift the cap however, so Hsiung and Davis could only call.

The flop fell {k-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}, and Davis led out. Hsiung called.

Hsiung called another bet when the {2-Clubs} turned, and both players checked when the {6-Hearts} completed the board. Davis showed {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs} for ace-high, but it was no good against Hsiung's {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs} for a pair of kings.

Myung mucked his hand, and was eliminated in eight place.
