No Double for Kyllonen
It looked like the chips went in preflop on a coinflip; either way the cards looked like so at the end of the hand:
Kyllonen:
Calia:
Board:
Double or Nothing for Calia
Romanello went ahead and plunked out a big stack of yellows, and Calia committed the rest of his chips to the pot.
Showdown
Calia:
Romanello:
The flop was a big dry desert for Calia as it rolled out . The painted that turned was scary for Romanello, but ultimately safe. The on the river, however, was not safe at all. Calia spikes one of his outs, the pair of kings earning him a double up to about 125,000.
Level: 14
Blinds: 1,500/3,000
Ante: 300
Third Pair Good for Eastgate
There was a flop on the felt, and it read . The gentleman in the big blind, who was most inconsiderately hiding his ID card under his chips, had checked to Eastgate. Eastgate bet 8,500, and Mr. Big Blind called.
The turn was the and Mr. Big Blind checked again. This time Eastgate bet 11,900 and his opponent tanked for a time while railers murmured to each other. Then he called.
The river was the and now both players checked. Eastgate was first to turn over his cards - the lowly - and looked rather surprised when his opponent mucked.
ElkY Mysterious
The two of them went heads up to the turn and ElkY bet out again, this time to the tune of 18,800. Rasmussen paused again, slightly longer this time, but once again he made the call. They proceeded.
The river came down the and ElkY gaped at the board for a moment. Then he bet 44,400.
Rasmussen's hand twitched ever so slightly, but he remained otherwise still. At last he folded, and was left to guess what ElkY's grin as he raked in the pot could possibly mean.
Fohrenbach Playing Sweet Music
Fourth street brought the and a check from both players, and the filled out the board on fifth. Fohrenbach slowly tapped the felt again, and Kouijzer flicked out a final bet of 11,000. But that wasn't enough for Fohrenbach. To Kouijzer's surprise, Ricky snuck in a check-raise to 45,000 straight. That put Kouijzer into the tank for several long minutes, agonizing with his decision. He finally made the call for just about half of his remaining chips.
It wasn't a good one. Fohrenbach showed up for top two, and Kouijzer looked absolutely gutted. A flashed as he angrily mucked his cards, and that nice pot goes to Fohrenbach.
He's pushed his way up to 285,000 now, well above the chip average.
99 Problems But a Bubble Ain't One
We're gettin' there!

Board:
Talking With Elks
"No," said ElkY. "But I won't raise without looking."
After a bit more chit-chat, Wissing limped in, and ElkY checked his cards and tapped the table for a free flop. It brought , and Wissing checked. "It's you. It's yours. Take it, take it," he said, gesturing for ElkY to bet. The Elk did, sliding out 2,500. Wissing called, though, and then began pleading for another four on the turn.
Turn: . The two men check-checked to keep it friendly, and they did the same when the filled out the board. ElkY showed up , and it was his four that was good enough to win the small, chatter-filled pot.
The Elk is up to 165,000.
