Pair Vs. Pair

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 2,400 ante

Teresa Hemingway and Colin McGuire each put in 15,000 preflop to see {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}{10-Hearts} fall. Hemingway bet 18,700, McGuire called and the turn came {6-Diamonds}. Both players checked, the river came {5-Diamonds} and they both checked again.

Hemingway offered pocket nines but McGuire had her beat holding pocket queens.

Berry's Aces Hang Tough

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

We found this hand at its conclusion with Will Berry's stack being counted down. He had {A-Spades}{A-Clubs} tabled in front of him with a board of {8-Spades}{7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{4-Spades}. Gonzales had {J-Hearts}{7-Clubs} for trips.

Allen Kessler's Forks & Knives

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Just about every weekend casinos across the country hold some sort of giveaway for customers with player's cards. From toasters to Himalayan salt lamps, just about everything has been handed out. Today the Golden Gates gave away a set of silverware and a Tupperware container set.

Allen Kessler acquired a set and was trying to convince Aaron Massey to carry the items back to Las Vegas for him.

"Allen, why? You haven't even been home in two months," Massey said. "When you're home, you don't cook."

"I don't even remember the last time I was home," Kessler replied.

"Exactly!," Massey said. "I'm not carrying around an extra four pounds of metal in my bags for something you're never going to use."

Kessler still is holding onto his forks and knives if anyone wants to bring them back to Vegas for him.

West Finds a Hand, Gets Coolered

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Tim West had trouble gaining any serious traction today. He open-shipped preflop for about 25,000 and Stu Brown moved in over the top. The big blind released and they tabled their hands.

West: {K-Hearts}{K-Spades}
Brown: {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}

The board ran {A-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{A-Spades}, Brown made quads to add insult to injury and West was eliminated.
