The Gladiator Strikes

Philip Sparta related us another hand. He had raised three times in a row. The first two times, he wasn't called. This time, his opponent flat calls and the flop is 4-4-5. Both players check. The turn is a ten and he checks. His opponent makes it 3,000. Sparta reraises to 8,000 and the opponent just calls. The river is a jack and Sparta makes it 15,000 and the opponent instantly calls. Sparta turns over 10-10 for the full house and his opponent mucks, bringing Sparta up to 91,000 and a decisive chip lead in this event.

Frattered Away

Marc Fratter raises to 2,000. His opponent is all in for 16,650. Fratter calls and shows {K-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}. The opponent turns over only {10-Spades}{8-Hearts}, but the board is {8-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{9-Spades} and Fratter is down to 2,075.

Four hands later, he's all in for his last 1,775 and Louie Esposito calls. Fratter has {A-Spades}{Q-Spades} to Esposito's {Q-Hearts}{5-Clubs}. The board is {K-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{3-Clubs}{3-Hearts}. Fratter doubles to 3,500 and is still in chip trouble.
