Cloutier Loses One

Action folded to TJ Cloutier in the small blind and he called, leading to his opponent in the big blind moving all in for 6,500.

"I haven't looked yet TJ," said the player in the big blind.

"You haven't looked yet? Then I call," responded Cloutier. "I've got a queen."

Cloutier tabled {Q-Clubs}{5-Hearts}, but trailed his opponent's {A-Clubs}{6-Hearts}.

The {7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} flop gave Cloutier outs to a straight, but he found no help from the {9-Diamonds} turn and {9-Clubs} river.

A-Massey-ing Some Chips

With the board reading {2-Spades}{A-Clubs}{3-Spades}, Aaron Massey checked from the small blind and the big blind checked as well. The third and final player in the hand bet 2,500 and Massey called. The big blind got out of the way and the two were heads up to the turn.

Fourth street was a third spade, the {10-Spades} to be exact. Massey came out firing for 3,500 and this bet prompted his opponent to fold his cards. Massey is now sitting around 37,000.

Hearts Good For Nguyen

Andrew Nguyen opened to 2,200 from early position and it folded all of the way around to the big blind who decided to call.

A monotone flop of {Q-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{J-Hearts} was spread in front of the two and they both checked their option. The {2-Clubs} turn prompted no action as the two players checked once again. The fourth and biggest heart fell on the turn- the {A-Hearts}- and this time Nguyen's opponent bet 1,800. Nguyen tossed out a call and showed {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs} for a flush. His opponent mucked and Nguyen took down the pot.

Salaburu Takes Big Hit

We found Robert Salaburu and his opponent looking at a board that read {4-Diamonds}{A-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{8-Spades}. Salaburu moved 8,000 into the center of the table and after some pondering, his opponent announced that he was all in for 38,600 total.

Salaburu shrugged and called, tabling {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts} in the process. Unfortunately for Salaburu, his opponent showed {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs} for a set of eights and the best hand.

Losing this hand caused Salaburu to lose a substantial chunk of change and the man who was our first player over 100,000 today now is sitting on about 46,000.
