Williamson Busts Kido

Robert Williamson III is under the gun, and Kido Pham is in the big blind. Robert limps in and 6 other players are also in. Kido makes it 1200 to go in the BB. Robert re-pops to 3500. Hmmmm.
Everyone else folds and Kido shoves. Robert calls. Kido shows {A-Spades}{Q-Spades} and Robert shows {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}. The board is no help for Kido and he is out. Robert said he noticed that Kido was raising a lot in the big blind; his good play with the aces totally snookered Kido Pham.

Robert Williamson III Takes a Nice Pot

Robert Williamson III saw a flop with two other players, which was {8-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{Q-Spades}. Robert checks, the 2nd guy checks and the third guy bets 500. Both players call. The turn is the {7-Diamonds} and all three check. The river is the {2-Clubs} and Robert fires out 700. The other players fold and Robert takes a nice one. He is up to 24,000 in chips, more than twice the starting stack of 10,000.

First Player Out

A player was eliminated after about ten minutes of play when he pushed on the turn with 5-5 against 7-8 on a board of 5-6-Q-9. The nut straight held when the river didn't pair the board and the player with the fives was sent packing. It's hard to know if a bit more aggressive betting could have chased out the open ended straight draw and kept this poor player around longer than a couple hands.
