The Fall and Rise of Eric Assadourian

On a board of {9-Clubs}{A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} Eric Assadourian led with a bet of 2,100 and his opponent on the button made the call. The turn was the {10-Hearts} and Assadourian fired out 8,000. His opponent, who only had 8,000 and change left, threw it all in the middle and Assadourian called.

Assadourian: {A-Spades}{Q-Spades}
Opponent: {A-Hearts}{2-Hearts}

A {J-Spades} on the river gave Assadourian the pot with his two pair and he quipped "Come up and play in Sydney anytime" as his opponent headed home. After an eventful hour post-dinner, Assadourian is now back to 34,000 in chips.

Kiddie Table?

A relocated Tino Lechich took one at his new table and noticed all the young guns and Internet pros at his table and said "What's this? You've put me on the kiddie table?!?"

Cantu's Courageous Call

With the board reading {3-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{7-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{K-Spades} and already 7,000 in the pot, Eric Assadourian leads out with a bet of 6,000 on the river. His opponent, Brandon Cantu in the cutoff goes into the tank with a huge decision.

Assadourian quips "I promise you one thing, I don't have a king" as he casually banters with other players at the table.

Eventually Cantu makes the call and shows pocket eights! Amazingly they are good as Assadourian shows {J-Spades}{6-Hearts} for nothing but air!

Following the dinner break Assadourian has doubled up two other players including Sarah Bilney and is now down to 24,000 in chips.
