More Random Droppings

As reported, no major pots to sing and dance about, just a smattering of smaller observations:

(1) Charalambos "Bambos" Xanthos found himself virtually all in, his bet of 6,000 on a {4-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{5-Hearts} board leaving himself just a couple of thousand behind. After a lengthy session in the think tank, his foe folded {A-Hearts}{7-Hearts} face-up, giving Bambos a stack of 13,000.

(2) On a J-J-T flop, Shane Reihill led for 500 and Nik Persaud made the call. Persaud was the aggressor from there on, however, betting 1,400 on the 8 turn and 2,300 on the 6 river. Reihill made the call. "If you have a jack, you're good," declared Persaud perhaps regretting his presumed value bet. Reihill showed A-J.

(3) Shaun Deeb lost a 4,500 pot against {5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} on a {7-Clubs}{2-Spades}{10-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{A-Clubs} board. Deeb wasn't pleased as he chucked his hand into the muck, but he still has over his starting stack.
