Banana Finds a Fold

Harry "UgotaBanana" Kaczka was faced with a 5,375-chip bet with the board reading {10-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{4-Hearts}. Kaczka tank-called.

The river was the {7-Spades}, and Kaczka's opponent led again - this time for 7,575. Kaczka was in the tank, and his opponent randomly stood up and began walking around. Kaczka observed this strange action for a little longer, then folded his hand.

Chip Counts From Around The Room

Another Day in Paradise

We didn't walk up until the flop was out, but we can pretty much guess the preflop action. The heads-up pot was between the under-the-gun player and big blind Phil Collins, and we're almost certain that Collins was either a squeeze-raiser or a three-bettor before the flop because there was about 8,000 in the pot as the two men went forward.

The dealer spread out {8-Spades} {K-Spades} {8-Diamonds}, and Collins continued out with 3,500. His opponent called that bet, then another 6,500 after the {7-Hearts} turn. The river was a potential scare card, the {A-Spades}, but Collins kept the heat on with another 9,500. The call came a little bit quicker this time, and Collins tabled his {A-Hearts} {K-Diamonds} with a fair amount of confidence.

No good. The other gent tabled {6-Hearts} {8-Hearts}, and Collins has been reduced back down to about 46,000 chips now.
