Rick Troendly Moving Chips

Rick Troendly had no intentions of sitting on his stack for the end of the night. Troendly got involved in two big pots to end the night.

The first hand saw Troendly call the all-in of his under-the-gun tablemate, who moved his last 6,000 into the middle. Troendly threw out a handful of yellow (T1,000) chips and announced, "I call whatever that is." The preflop showdown had Troendly holding {2-Spades} {2-Diamonds}, while his opponent tabled {7-Clubs} {7-Hearts}. The board seemed to offer little help to Troendly as it spread {10-Diamonds} {9-Clubs} {6-Diamonds}. The turn brought {5-Diamonds}, and a flush draw for Troendly. The river provided the {2-Hearts} and sent the other player packing.

The very next hand, saw Troendly tangle with Kathy Liebert, who had just moved over to the table. Facing a flop of {K-Hearts} {2-Clubs} {10-Hearts} and a bet of 5,000 from Liebert, Troendly raised to 10,000 before being reraised all in by Liebert for 11,050 more. After some deliberation, Troendly folded and Liebert showed him pocket aces from the big blind.

After the ebb and flow, Troendly finished the night with 53,000. Kathy Liebert bagged up her chips amounting to around 38,000.
