Fitzgerald Pays Off Opponent

Alex "Assasinato" Fitzgerald check-called a bet of 3,300 on the river with the board reading {Q-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} {3-Spades} {8-Diamonds} {A-Clubs}. There was between 11,000 and 12,000 chips in the pot and Fitzgerald's opponent had been betting the whole way.

As Fitzgerald made the call he said, "I think you got it." His opponent then showed {A-Spades} {9-Spades}. Fitzgerald mucked, dropping to 21,000.

Maridu Moves In

After her opponent checked to her on the flop of {4-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds}, Maria "Maridu" Mayrinck bet. Her opponent called and the turn brought the {9-Hearts}.

Maridu is up to roughly 18,000 chips.

Magriel Runs Into a Bigger Draw

Paul "X-22" Magriel moved all in and was called by a shorter-stacked player on a flop of {Q-Spades} {J-Spades} {3-Clubs}. Magriel held {6-Spades} {4-Spades} against his opponent's {A-Spades} {K-Spades}. Magriel's flush draw would be no good if it came and he was looking for a pair or a runner-runner straight to win the hand.

The turn brought the {A-Hearts} and rendered Magriel dead. The river was the {5-Diamonds}.

Magriel dropped to 9,200 chips after the hand.
