Sudworth Folds When Behind...And Wins When In Front...

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

James Sudworth raised to 1,025 and Phil Laak reraised to 5,400 with just about 2,000.

"I don't know if this will be a bad fold or a bad call..."

Sudworth folded {A-Diamonds}

face up and Laak showed {A-Hearts}

. They then rabbit-hunted the board which would've been {2-?}

!

Soon after they really did get it in:

Sudworth: {A-Hearts}

Laak:

Board:

Somehow Sudworth faded all the outs and manages to knock out the Unabomber.

Devilfish Moves To WWE...

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Let's Get Ready To Ruuuuuuuuuumbbbbblllllllllee!

Devilfish just got a bit annoyed when he (jokingly) threated the dealer if the right river wasn't delivered.

At this point he may or may not have been interrupted by Hulk Hogan challenging him to a match at SummerSlam.

Tabatabai Just Can't Win

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

You can knock him down, you can beat him up but Devilfish just won't stay down today.

All the chips went in on a {7-Diamonds}

flop. Devilfish held {10-Diamonds}

against Tabatabai's {J-Spades}

but the board came {Q-Hearts}

then

for a chop.

This game continues...

JC Gets In A Steicke Spot

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Limped pot in the 75/150 level between JC Tran and David Steicke.

The flop comes {7-Clubs}

and Tran bet out 200. Steicke called and then called 400 on the {9-Diamonds}

turn.

The river was the {Q-Diamonds}

and Tran now checked, Steicke bet 1,025 and Tran called with some reluctance.

Steicke showed {J-Diamonds}

for the pair that improved and improved. Tran flashed what looked to be a turned baby flush.

Tabatabai's 4th Pair Is Good

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

With 1,200 in the pot and the board reading {6-Diamonds}

Devilfish fired a pot-sized bet and Tabatabai let out a deep sigh eventually calling as though he was throwing money away.

Devilfish showed a miss {Q-Spades}

which meant Tabatabai's {10-?}

was good enough.

[Removed:336] In Charge

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

The blinds are now 200/400 in the [Removed:336]/Channing match and, like so many of the matches, there's been a complete change around as Channing has been chipped away at by his opponent.

[Removed:336] has about 16,000 or so now which means that the former Irish Open winner now needs to make a move very soon...
