The Farrell-y Brothers

[user22113]
[user22113]
Ryan Farrell and Payne Farrell are brothers, are still in the event, and are at the same table. Their father is here, cheering them on. Ryan just nearly busted a player when his 4-4 filled up versus the nut straight: 5-6. The board was K-7-8-4 when they got it in and the river was the killer 7.

It Paynes Me to Do This...

Payne Farrell's opponent raised and Payne went all in.

"Do you have aces?" his opponent needled, going into the tank.

"No," said Payne.

"This is the biggest laydown in the history of poker." the opponent said, folding kings face up.

Payne laughs, showing kings as well.

The Payne! THE PAYNE!

Payne Farrell bets 5300 in the 3 spot. Jerrell Groover calls. The board is {5-Spades}{J-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}. Payne bets 15,000, Groover goes all in and Payne insta-calls. Groover turns over {J-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} and Payne grimaces, flipping {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}. The remainder of the cards are no help: {3-Spades}{9-Hearts}, and Payne Farrell is out, leaving only Ryan to represent the Farrell brood.

[user22113]
Josh Arieh shoves for 12,700 in middle position.

Scott Mitchell re-raises to 50,000. Everyone else folds.

Arieh has 7-7.

Mitchell has A-A.

The board is no help and Arieh is out.

On the very next hand, on a flop of {J-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}, Mitchell goes all in and has aces AGAIN. {A-Spades}{A-Clubs} this time. His opponent, Anastasios Piliafas, has {Q-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}. The turn and river are {7-Clubs}{6-Spades} and aces are cracked. However, Mitchell is still over 100,000.

Thomas Rouzan raises to 6,000 under the gun. Zachary King re-raises to 15,000. Jeff Rodriguez re-re-raises to 30,075 all in. Rouzan calls all in for his last 29,700. King has them both covered and also calls.

Rouzan has 7-7. King has {J-Clubs}{J-Hearts}. Rodriguez has {J-Spades}{J-Diamonds}. The board is K-Q-2-7-Q. Rouzan spikes his seven and triples up, and King and Rodriguez are in pain.
