Turned Set of Kings Cracks Aces

Blinds 125-250

In one of the early pots of the day, "Easynow58" opened to 750 and was called by Mike Parrott in the cutoff. "Stayathomedabb" raised to 2,250, "Mayesman1" called in the big blind, and the original raiser folded as Parrott called.

The three players saw a flop of {8-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{2-Spades} and "Stayathomedabb" led for 3,500 and only "Mayesman1" continued. The turn {k-Diamonds} saw "Stayathomedabb" go all in and "Mayesman1" called for his remaining 13,195 chips.

"Stayathomedabb": {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}
"Mayesman1": {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}

Both players may have thought they had the best hand the whole way but it was "Stayathomedabb" who jumped ahead with a set of kings. The river {q-Spades} sent him the chips and cracked the rockets and downed the bullet of "Mayesman1".

"CowboyVeezy" Flops Pair to Oust Big Slick of "smftt"

Blinds 150-300

"smftt" opened to 630 in middle position and was called by "CowboyVeezy" on the button as well as "BIGDEEtown" in the big blind.

The {10-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{4-Spades} flop saw "smftt" bet 895 and both other players called. "smftt" continued for 2,995 on the {4-Hearts} turn and only "CowboyVeezy" called. The {2-Diamonds} river had "smftt" put in all of his 7,191 chips and once again receive a call.

"smftt" showed {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades} which wasn't good enough to beat the {10-Clubs}{j-Hearts} flopped top pair for [CowboyVeezy].

Cowboys over Ladies for "Surge_Ibaka"

Blinds 150-300

"3b Print Repeat" opened to 660 in early position and "DeeerTaaaY" three-bet to 1,998 from one seat over. "Surge_Ibaka" cold four-bet to 4,200 in the cutoff and action folded back to "DeeerTaaaY" who made the call.

The {6-Spades}{8-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} flop saw "DeeerTaaaY" check-call a bet of 4,332. He once again check-called on the {10-Hearts} turn, this time for 10,200. And on the {2-Diamonds} river, he check-called one last time for his remaining 16,637.

"DeeerTaaaY" had the {q-Clubs}{q-Spades} for an overpair but it was not good enough against the {k-Clubs}{k-Spades} of "Surge_Ibaka".

Two Pair No Good for Parrott

Blinds 250-500

Mike Parrott limped in from middle position, as did "Stayathomedabb". "rkellyishere" called the small blind and the big blind was checked by "Outofyourrange".

The four players saw a flop of {a-Spades}{8-Spades}{5-Hearts} and Parrott opened the betting with a bet of 1,240. "rkellyishere" was the only one to continue and raised to 4,480. Parrott called and the {7-Diamonds} hit the turn. "rkellyishere" led for 8,440 and was called. On the {k-Diamonds} river, [rkellyishere] went all in for 7,836 and Parrott called.

Parrott made two pair on the turn with {7-Spades}{5-Spades} but "rkellyishere" flopped better two pair with {8-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}
