Who Dare Bluff Steicke?

[user67765]

Well it was a semi-bluff, but it was impressive none the less. The middle position player raised to 1,350 and David Steicke called in the big blind.

The flop landed {4-Clubs}

and both players checked. The turn was the {8-Spades}

and Steicke fired 3,100. The MP player cut down his chips before sliding all of his last 7,000 into the pot. It appeared that there was no chance of Steicke folding for such a small amount, which in turn was a real show of strength. Steicke decided better of it and folded and was shown {A-Clubs}

for ace-high. WP sir!

Beast on the Prowl

[user75032]

Don't be confused -- there are other players left in this tournament besides Jay Kinkade. He's just been on a tear since we got back from dinner. We came back to his table after Kinkade's last victim was eliminated to see him involved in another pot.

There were 10,000 chips in the middle. Kinkade had position on his one opponent with the board already showing {j-Clubs}

. Kinkade's opponent tanked for two minutes and then bet 7,000.

"How much do you have behind?" Kinkade asked. The answer was 7,000 more. Kinkade then confidently put a stack of yellow (T1,000) chips into the middle. His opponent tanked for another minute before folding.

Another Notch In The Belt For The Beast

Another walk past the table of Jay Kinkade, and another elimination hand as "Seabeast" has roared to the tournament chip lead.

With a raise to 1,300 from the cutoff, a short-stacked player moved all in from the button for a touch under 10,000 chips. Kinkade was in the small blind and announced he was all in, covering all players at the table. The big blind and cutoff players quickly folded and the cards were tabled.

Kinkade: {J-Spades}

Opponent:

The board fell {6-Spades}

and Kinkade busts another on his way to 72,000 chips.
