.

Conning checks and Bo bets 700 into the middle. Conning quickly check-raises all in for around 7,600. Bo thinks for a moment and makes the call.

Conning: {A-Spades}

Bo:

The turn is the {2-Diamonds}

and river

and Bo makes his flush on the river to send Conning to the rail. Bo is now one of our chip leaders with around 57,000 chips!

Aces vs. Kings

[user24788]

Early on in the early stages of a tournament, players are reluctant to get all their chips in unless they wake up to monster hands like pocket Aces or Kings. More often than not, some of the early eliminations involve hands with players who were all in pre-flop with A-A vs. K-K.

We just had one of those instances. David Gent raised 2,000. Borge Dypvik re-raised to 5,000. Gent moved all in for 13,500. Dypvik called.

Dypvik: {A-Spades}

Gent:

The board ran out {9-Clubs}

and Gent was eliminated. Dypvik dragged the pot and increased his stack to 32,000.

Mouth Makes Great Call

[user57954]

With the board reading {Q-Spades}

the opponent of Mike Matusow fired a 2,000 chip bet on the river and "The Mouth" went into the tank. He felt his hand was good and made the call. His opponent turned over {A-Hearts}

and "The Mouth" jumped out of his chair in delight at his call as he showed {8-Clubs}

.

"I can't bluff people but I can read people baby!" shouts Matusow.

Andy Black is on the rail hurling "motivational" comments at Matusow. Some of his one-liners include:

"If you can read people, why can't you read that they are going to call you when you bluff?"...and..."You know poker, but you only read every second page...or perhaps you only know the letters up to the letter 'M'!"
