Boom or Bust

Jim Collopy is into pure shoving mode. We witnessed him do it twice in an orbit after there had been at least one raise in front of him.

The second time he shoved (for 23,800) there had been an UTG open to 1,800 and a flat from the cut-off. Collopy was in the big blind and his move forced folds from both opponents, who were not happy.

Position Pays

Chris O'Donnell opened from the button and Dan Smith peeled from the big blind to see a {4-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{7-Hearts} flop. Both players checked to the {a-Clubs} turn where Smith check-called a 1.450 bet.

The river fell as {j-Clubs} and both players checked again. O'Donnell just sat there, maybe hoping the American would reveal his hand, but he didn't. Instead Smith sat smiling and motioned with his hand suggesting that O'Donnell needed to shows first.

He did need to show first as the last aggressor but he wasn't happy about it and slammed down {k-Spades}{7-Diamonds} on the table. Smith opened {q-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for a flush and took the pot saying, "Last aggressor shows, man."

Vesko Taking Pots

A recent hand saw Jesse McKenzie open the pot from under the gun. Vesko Zmukic made the call from the small blind and the big blind player also came along for the ride.

Flop: {4-Clubs}{j-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

The big blind player checked and McKenzie led for 2,700. Zmukic immediately made the call and the big blind also put in the bet.

Turn: {5-Hearts}

The turn slowed McKenzie down, checking behind the big blind player. This is when Zmukic fired out 4,000. Both Zmukic's opponents got out of the way and Zmukic tabled his {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} as he raked in his new chips.

New Chip Daddy?

Chris Moorman is battling for the chip lead after eliminating a player in a large pot.

We picked up the action on the turn where the board read {j-Clubs}{5-Spades}{k-Spades}{2-Diamonds}. Moorman was in the big blind and led for 2,100. His opponent called from the cut-off to see the {j-Diamonds} river where he faced a check from the Brit. This was his invitation to bet, and he did, for 5,000.

The online phenomenon was done though as he set his opponent all in for the 14,000 he had behind. His opponent looked in pain but had enough to call all-in, but his card were soon in the muck and the back of his
hoody was all we could see after he was shown {2-Hearts}{2-Spades} by Moorman, for a full house.
