Bell Flops the Full

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 100 ante

We watched Whitney Bell call a 3,000 bet from a lone opponent on a flop of {9-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{9-Spades}. The turn brought a {q-Hearts}, and the aggressor moved all in. Bell called immediately.

Bell: {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}
Small blind: {9-Hearts}{5-Hearts}

The small blind undoubtedly thought he liked the flop, but he saw the bad news as soon as he moved all in: Bell had flopped aces full, and only the last nine would change the outcome of the hand. The river was the {3-Clubs} though, and Bell busted his unfortunate opponent.

Holloway Busted

Level 7 : 400/800, 100 ante

According to Chad Holloway, he three-bet all in for about 18,000 after a player had opened to 2,500. The small blind woke up with {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}, and Holloway's {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} couldn't catch up on the jack-high board.

Ship it to "Hollywood"

Level 7 : 400/800, 100 ante

A player in middle position pushed all in for 8,700, and "Hollywood" Whitney Bell made the call from the hijack. The cutoff three-bet to 21,000, and Bell got it all in after action folded back to him. The cutoff called.

Bell: {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}
Cutoff: {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}
Middle position: {a-Hearts}{2-Hearts}

"Alright, give me an ace," the middle-position player said enthusiastically, clearly happy to be drawing live.

It wasn't to be, as the board ran out {6-Spades}{6-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}, keeping Bell's kings best.
