Hampson Hits Quads

[user272102]

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 200 ante

We missed the preflop action but a short-stacked player was all in, and Giancarlo Disalvo was facing an all in reraise from Sean Hampson. "I'm not folding," said Disalvo, making the call, and the three hands were turned over:

Short-stacked player:
Disalvo:
Hampson:

Hampson was ahead and would hit a set of queens on the flop. However, the flop was and Disalvo had the which he made evident by moving the card back and forth. The drama would end on the turn, however, as it was the giving Hampson quads. The much needed double up moved Hampson to 80,000.

What About the Spades?

[user272102]

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 400 ante

We got to the table and the dealer was chopping up a pot between Natasha Barbour who held and Fred Miller who had on a double paired board. No one, except for Miller, was aware of the three spades that were on the board and as the dealer was working on splitting up the chips Miller looked once more at the board and asked the dealer "what about the spades?"

It was then that the dealer — and the rest of the table — noticed that Miller had hit the nut flush. Much to Barbour's chagrin, she had to send a full double up over to Miller who moved up to 145,000. Barbour was crippled down to 32,000 after the hand.

Pappas Gets Trimmed

[user272102]

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 400 ante

With a flop of chips started flying into the middle between Stanley Trim and John Pappas with Pappas moving all in and getting quickly called by Trim. Pappas had flopped a set with and Trim had flopped bottom two pair with . The turn was the keeping Pappas in the lead and he only needed to avoid one of two jacks to knock out Trim and move into the chip lead. The river was cruel for Pappas and sweet for Trim as it was the giving Trim a bigger full house.
