Jozef Berec Likes J-2

Jozef Berec open-pushed for 13,000 and his opponent called all in for 10,000. Berec's hand? The mighty J-2.

The flop was {A-Spades}{9-Hearts}{2-Spades}. The turn was the {6-Hearts}, but the river was the {2-Clubs} making Berec trip deuces.

Blessed be the lucky, for they shall drag the pot...

Martin Comer Survives By Default

Martin Comer moved all in pre-flop and got two callers, both of them having Comer covered. With the board reading {A-Spades}{3-Spades}{2-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}, Player A made a bet on the river and Player B folded. Player A took the side pot.

When it came time to show down for the main pot, Player A did not turn his cards over and pushed them just slightly toward the center of the table. The dealer took this as a fold, mucked his cards, and pushed the main pot to Comer. Player A was naturally upset at this, saying that he had the nuts and would have won. The floor was called over and it was explained that since he did not turn up his hand and pushed his cards out, even just slightly, it could be interpreted as a fold.

Moral of the story, kids? Always turn up your hand when you have the nuts. It could cost you the whole pot.

Jozef Berec Doubles... and Doubles Again

Jozef Berec moved all in for 2,900 and the big blind called. Berec turned up {K-Clubs}{7-Spades} and needed help on the flop against the big blind's {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts}. The flop was {Q-Spades}{10-Spades}{2-Clubs}, but the turn was the {7-Diamonds} pairing up Berec. The river was the {3-Hearts} and he doubled up to 6,000.

A few hands later, Berec got it all in again, this time with {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} against Jim G's {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}. The flop was {J-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{2-Spades}. Lightning struck again on the turn for Berec whe the {K-Diamonds} fell, making him a broadway straight. The river was the {3-Clubs} and Berec increased his stack to 12,000.
