Marcus Can't Call

Dave Colclough
Dave Colclough

The first player checked the flop of {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{6-Spades} to Van Marcus. He also checked and then the third player in the hand, Dave Colclough, checked as well. The turn brought the {K-Clubs} and the first player checked. Marcus fired 1,000, Colclough called and the other player called.

The river completed the board with the {3-Diamonds} and action checked around to Colclough. He bet 3,000 and the first player folded. Marcus studied Colclough and it looked like he smelled something funny going on. Eventually, Marcus gave it up and slammed his hand int o the muck. Colclough showed the {K-Spades} as he moved up to 40,000 in chips. Marcus dropped back a tiny bit, but still has about 60,000.

Mizrachi Is a Sicko

Van Marcus had called a bet from Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi on the turn of a board of {Q-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{A-Clubs}. The river was the {9-Clubs} and Mizrachi fired 4,200.

"This is so sick!" said Marcus, who thought about it for a minute before tossing his hand away.

Mizrachi showed the {6-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} for six high and then Marcus grabbed his cards and showed the {10-Clubs}{6-Clubs}. "How sick is that?!?!" said Marcus. "I called the turn to bluff the river and then thought about calling with ten high! You're a sicko!"

The turn added the {7-Spades} to the board and both players checked. The river was the {Q-Diamonds} and Mizachi checked again. Beluli wasn't checking behind this time and fired a bet of 1,500. Mizrachi spun his hand into the muck, not willing to pay off the bet.
