Lodden Flushed

Johnny Lodden

The flop read {Q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} and the big blind bet out 700 into a limped pot. The UTG player called and Johnny Lodden on the button made it 2,200. The small blind got out of the way but the UTG player called. The turn was the {Q-Diamonds} and UTG checked to Johnny who bet 3,600. UTG thought for a little before calling. When the {3-Clubs} river was dealt the UTG player moved all in for 5,025 which Johnny reluctantly called before mucking when shown the {A-Clubs}{4-Clubs}.

Johnny was left with 7,200 after the hand.

Table Talk

Mark Teltscher: "I don't get excited about small things. Life's too short." This, in reference to a neighbor accidentally turning over one of Teltscher's mucked cards.

In a four-way limped pot, the board of {K-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{5-Spades} was checked all the way down, until a player in early position bet out 525. Thomas Wahlroos made it 2,000. Andy Black and Arnaud Mattern both got out of the way before the initial bettor folded, showing the {A-Spades}.

El Sayed Doubles Through Darcourt

Hecham El Sayed, representing Team T6 Poker, has just doubled up through Guillaume Darcourt after his pocket kings managed to crack Darcourt's aces.

All of the money went in pre-flop and the board ran out {2-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{J-Spades} giving El Sayed a king-high flush and almost 40,000 in new chips.

Andy Black -- Self Update

Andy Black
Andy Black
"You missed it -- I was down to 13,000 the last hand before the break. Then first hand after the break I got back up to 17,000 and just now I got a guy all in with house versus his straight draw on fourth street. He had a runner-runner straght flush draw but that was quite hard to hit with one card to come..."

Andy is now on 26,000 after that hand.
