Wahdan Gets a Lucky Turn

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

We found Nader Wahdan in the cutoff calling a bet of 7,000 after a {k-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{3-Clubs} flop. The {6-Diamonds} arrived on the turn, and the aggressor shoved all in. Wahdan called.

Wahdan: {6-Clubs}{6-Spades}
Opponent: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

Wahdan had his opponent dead, and an {8-Clubs} completed the board.

"What are you calling with?" the player with ace-king asked angrily.

"I didn't think you had it!" Wahdan exclaimed.

"When have I not had it all day?" the player spat as he walked away.

York Ships Huge Pot

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 100 ante

We found Colin York with a raise to 40,000 in front of him on a board of {4-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{j-Spades}. The player in the small blind had bet out 15,000, and he was now tanking. Finally, he pushed all of his chips into the middle, a raise of about 40,000 more. York called instantly.

York: {k-Spades}{10-Clubs}
Small blind: {a-Spades}{4-Spades}

"Ace or a four," the small blind called, knowing he needed to fill up against York's broadway straight. He didn't get his wish on the {7-Spades} river, and York collected one of the biggest pots we've seen.

Player Goes on Tirade Against Bohn, Gets Penalty

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 100 ante
Blake Bohn
Blake Bohn

According to Blake Bohn, he shoved for about 13,000 after a raise and then a reraise to 6,000. The original raiser folded and the reraiser began thinking. Bohn said he told the player he couldn't fold, and the player got cross with him. Finally, he called with {8-}{8-} and busted Bohn.

After the hand, Bohn said, the player went on a tirade, yelling a string of expletives at Bohn while saying it was worth the penalty. Bohn claimed he had no idea what the source of the player's anger was.

"Normally, I could see how I might rub a guy the wrong way," Bohn said. "But I didn't say anything to this guy!"
