Jewell Loses a Big One

A six-way limped pot delivered a {7-Hearts}{6-Spades}{5-Spades} flop. After one of the limpers bet 4,200, Kurt Jewell popped it to 10,100. The player in the small blind put in a check-raise shove for 64,400, forcing a quick from the original bettor. Jewell counted out the chips and slid them forward for a call, revealing {7-Spades}{3-Spades}.

He needed to get there against his opponent's {8-Clubs}{4-Clubs} and while the {3-Hearts} turn didn't do it, he picked up a few extra outs. However, the {6-Diamonds} river was not one of them and Jewell is now below the starting stack.

Shail Takes a Hit

A player opened to 1,900 in middle position, Michael Shail called, and the flop came {8-Hearts}{6-Spades}{q-Spades}. The player continued for 3,200, and Shail called.

The turn was the {9-Clubs}, and the raiser fired a second bullet worth 6,100. Shail called. The river was another nine - the {9-Hearts} - and the player led for a third and final time. The bet was 11,100, and after a moment for thought, Shail called.

The player turned over {9-Diamonds}{7-Spades} for trip nines, and a disgruntled Shail showed, {a-Clubs}{8-Clubs}.

"Runner-runner, eh?" he asked.

Shail took a hit, and is now down to around 167,000 chips.

Baumstein More Than Doubles

With about 50,000 in the pot and the board reading {6-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{K-Hearts}, one player checked to another who fired 39,000. Scott Baumstein raised all in for 55,800 total, the first player folded, and the second called the remaining 16,800.

Baumstein tabled {6-Hearts}{6-Spades} for a set, one upping his opponent's {5-Spades}{5-Diamonds}. The river brought the {J-Clubs}, locking up the 200-big-blind pot for Baumstein.
