Action folded around to Shawn Quinn in the small blind and he put in a raise to 4,000. Steve Verrett pushed back with a three-bet to 8,300 from the big, and Quinn responded by moving all in for approximately 45,000. Verrett made a quick call and discovered he was on the bad end of a cooler.
Verrett: ![]()
Quinn: ![]()
Quinn was a huge favorite to score the double, but a king in the window changed all that. Verrett flopped a set to take the lead, and he kept it as an ace failed to turn up for Quinn.
With around 14,000 in the pot and a flop of ![]()
![]()
, Kathy Holz-Zammuto opted to shove all in for her entire stack of 37,500. Her opponent thought long and hard before making the call, and Holz-Zammuto was at risk.
Holz-Zammuto: ![]()
Opponent: ![]()
"I knew it," said the man with the flush draw. "I put her on kings actually, not aces."
Holz-Zammuto was ahead, but she needed to dodge hearts. The
turn gave her opponent a Broadway draw to go along with his flush draw, but the
turn completed neither. Holz-Zammuto survived and double to nearly 100K.

World Series of Poker bracelet winner Eric "basebaldy" Baldwin opened for 2,500 from middle position and cleared the field all the way around to Adam Lamphere, who opted to three-bet to 7,700. Baldwin smirked, stacked his chips, and then slid them into the middle. Lamphere called.
Baldwin: ![]()
Lamphere: ![]()
It was a flip, but Baldwin needed to hit to stay alive. That's just what he did too as the ![]()
![]()
flop gave him queens and jacks. The
turn improved him to a full house, which left Lamphere drawing dead. The meaningless
was put out on the river for good measure, and then Baldwin was shipped the much-needed double.
YY Yin opened for 4,200 only to have the player in the big blind three-bet to 8,200. Yin thought for a few moments before making the call, and the duo saw a flop of ![]()
![]()
. The big blind continued for 10,000, and Yin wasted little time in folding his cards. Not much of a hand, but it gave us a good excuse to update you on his stack.
John Lane opened for 3,000 from early position and received a call from a player in middle position. Jim Boone then called from the cutoff, YY Yin did the same from the small blind, and the big came along to make it five-way action to the ![]()
![]()
flop.
Two checks put action on Lane, and he continued for 6,000. The middle-position player folded, and Boone min-raised to 12,000. It did the trick as one by one his opponents, including Lane, folded their cards.
