Quads Don't Get Paid For Comer

[user67765]

David Gorr raised it up preflop and received two callers in Martin Comer and Steve Topakas to see a flop of {5-Spades}

.

Gorr fired out a continuation bet and Comer called before Topakas raised it up. Both opponents called and the {Q-Clubs}

hit the turn. Gorr led out again and Comer and Topakas both called.

The river was the {A-Hearts}

which slowed the action as play checked around.

"Argh why don't you bet?" sighed Comer as he flipped {5-Diamonds}

for quads as Gorr flashed {K-Spades}

and mucked.

Come On, Man!

[user38449]

A very short-stacked Martin Comer opened a recent pot with a raise and was three-bet by Joe Cabret. Comer just called and the two saw the flop come {10-Hearts}

.

Comer then sent the last of his chips into the middle and was called by Cabret who tabled {A-Hearts}

. Comer produced the {K-Spades}

and his tournament life was in serious jeopardy.

Comer was saved by the turn and rejuvenated by the river, as the rest of the board filled out {4-Clubs}

,

giving him two pair and a quick double up to 1,900.

"You got it in with the worst hand. Well done," Cabret told Comer after the hand.

"I don't know if you know this, but Martin Comer is the reason they invented earplugs," Cabret added.

Shillig Falls To The River

[user67765]

Greg Shillig's tournament life has come to an end in rather brutal fashion. His last chips were all in on the turn on a {10-Diamonds}

board in a pot against Josh Wilson.

Wilson made the call and quipped, "I'm gonna need some help..." as he flipped {K-Diamonds}

for a straight draw, as Shillig was looking good for a double up with his {10-Hearts}

for a set.

However the river was the {Q-Diamonds}

to complete the straight for Wilson and send Shillig to an early exit. Wilson is up to 19,000 chips.

Annette Obrestad is back down to 9,800 in chips after a recent confrontation with an unknown player at her table.

Action folded around the table to Obrestad in the cutoff and she opened with a raise. The big blind was the only caller and the two saw a {3-Hearts}

flop.

The big blind checked to Obrestad who fired a continuation bet. The big blind then raised and Obrestad made the call.

Obrestad then called bets on both the turn and the river as the board filled out {4-Clubs}

,

.

At the showdown, the big blind tabled {J-Diamonds}

and screamed out, "NUTS!"

Obrestad mucked her cards and was left with just under 10,000 in chips after the hand.
