Cullen Chipping Up

On a {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{9-Spades} board, Harry Cullen's bets of 6,000 each were called on the flop and turn. The {K-Spades} hit the river and Cullen shoved, having his opponent's stack covered. After a little while the opponent called, but mucked when Cullen tabled {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts} for the full house.

Begs Eliminated

After Adam Levy raised from the cutoff, Tim "BegsClutch" Begley shoved from the button with {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}. Unfortunately for Begley, Carl Sheddan woke up with {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts} in the big blind and called. Levy got of the way for the board to run out {J-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{J-Hearts}, ending Begley's tournament.

Diaz Does Some Damage

Level 6 : 150/300, 25 ante

We just caught the tail end of this pot, and we sure wish we'd seen it from the beginning.

When we walked up, the board showed {7-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} {2-Hearts} {5-Hearts} {6-Hearts}, and Michael Rocco was putting out a bet of 5,000 from the blinds. His opponent was David Diaz, and Diaz shoved all in for 27,875 in response. Rocco spent a few minutes in the tank before dropping the call in the pot, and he couldn't beat Diaz's {K-Hearts} {5-Hearts}.

Rocco was none too thrilled as he counted away most of his own stack. He's left with just 4,000 or so after that wrong call. Diaz, on the other hand, is stacking up more than 70,000 after finding that flush.

Singer Asks to See the Bluff

On a {9-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} flop, David Singer saw his bet of 2,500 get raised to 6,200 by Kyle Bowker. After about two minutes Singer called, delivering the {4-Clubs} on the turn. Singer checked and Bowker bet 8,100, sending Singer into the tank again. After another two minutes Singer gave it up saying, "Show the bluff."

"You don't really want me to," replied Bowker. "Yeah I do," said Singer.

Bowker obliged, showing {8-Spades}{6-Spades} as he collected the chips.

Shorr 'Nuff

Level 5 : 100/200, 25 ante
Shannon Shorr
Shannon Shorr

First into the pot from the button, Shannon Shorr made it 525 to go, and David Diaz three-bet to 1,400 next door. Shorr matched the bet, and the two men took a {10-Spades} {J-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} flop heads-up. Diaz continued out with 1,200 chips, and Shorr bumped it up to 3,600. Diaz flatted, and both players checked through the {7-Spades} turn. The river brought the {9-Spades}, and Shorr made a final bet of 4,500. Diaz called, but he couldn't beat the {A-Clubs} {10-Hearts} that got shown down next door.

Shorr moves up into the chip lead with 85,000 courtesy of that pot.
