Chips Change Hands

[user66118]

Cory Albertson comes into the pot raising, makes it 8,500 to go. Gabe Costner, seated on the button, puts in 20,000 more, making it 28,500 total. Without much delay, Albertson re-re-raises for the rest of his chips, approximately 85,000 more.

Costner has about the same amount of chips, and he tanks for several minutes. "I don't think you have sh*t," he says, irritated.

"Yeah, I normally make plays like this with 5-7 offsuit," Albertson fires back.

After a couple minutes, Costner, looking frustrated, tosses his cards away and swallows the loss of nearly 30,000 hard-earned chips.

Blake Purvis has just added a few more chips to his ever-growing stack with the recent elimination of Michael Cohen. In a hand that virtually played itself, all of the money went in pre-flop; Purvis' with pocket aces and Cohen's with pocket kings.

Purvis would end up spiking a third ace on the flop and when the {4-Spades}

fell on the turn, Cohen's day was officially done. After the hand, Purvis piled up ~260,000 in chips.

If the Wife is Happy...

[user66118]

Rick Drury is our short stack, and before the flop, he moves all in for his last 19,000. Action is folded around to Jeff Tims, who declares, "I think I have enough chips to call with this hand." He slides his chips in, and turns over {J-Spades}

, but Drury is in good shape with {10-Clubs}

.

Someone at the table says, "His wife is going to be pissed if you hit a jack," referring to the fact that she is en route to the casino to watch her husband play.

The flop draws a big reaction from the railbirds, {Q-Spades}

, giving Tims a ton of outs to win the hand. To the surprise of everyone, the {6-Clubs}

and

that followed miss Tims, and Drury doubles up to about 44,000.

"Your wife will be happy now," the player says.

"Ha, you don't know my wife," jokes Drury, in good spirits after taking down that pot.

.

The flop comes {Q-Clubs}

, but leaves Browne still behind.

Then, the turn is a perfect card for Browne, the {Q-Hearts}
