David Lacchia Eliminated in 5th Place ($7,380)

[user25067]

David Lacchia got the remainder of his short stack in the middle before the flop vs. Jamie Pickering. It was a race situation.

Lacchia {6-Hearts}

Pickering

The flop was {K-Diamonds}

, putting Pickering in the lead. Lacchia could not catch another 6 on the {4-Diamonds}

turn or the {2-Spades}

river, and he shook each opponent's hand before heading to the cage to collect his $7,380 in winnings.

Jamie Pickering Makes a Good Read

[user25067]

Jamie Pickering raised from the button and Ivan Sop called from the big blind. The flop was {Q-Spades}

and both players checked. The turn was the {10-Diamonds}

. Sop bet 8,000 and Pickering called. The river was the {K-Diamonds}

. Sop bet again and after a bit of a think, Pickering called. Sop turned over {A-Spades}

for ace high, while Pickering tabled {A-Diamonds}

for a pair of tens and dragged in the pot.

Fear the Potter Check Raise

[user24788]

Welcome Back storming back into contention...

It was the battle of the blinds. James "Welcome Back" Potter raised from the small blind. James Pickering, who had the reputation of never folding his big blind, had called. The flop was {10-Hearts}

. Potter fired out 4,000. Pickering raised to 8,000 and Potter called. The turn was the {K-Clubs}

. Potter checked. Pickering bet 8,000. Potter check-raised to 16,000. Pickering went into the tank for a minute before he called. The river was the {4-Diamonds}

and Potter quickly bet 8,000. Pickering insta-folded.

Potter tabled his semi-bluff and exposed {Q-Clubs}

.
