Clinkscales Makes Quads

An early position short stacked player raised the action to 6,000 and it folded around to Rex Clinkscales who made it 20,000 from the big blind. The original raiser moved all in and Clinkscales snap called.

Clinkscales: {A-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}
Opponent: {K-Spades}{K-Hearts}

Clinkscales had the lead and kept it when the flop came {9-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{A-Spades}. His opponent was drawing dead when the {Q-Hearts} turned, but Clinkscales still managed to make quads when the {A-Clubs} fell on the river.

Phan Gets Talked Out, Makes Correct Laydown

A player opened the action by raising to 6,500. In the small blind, Tuan Phan opted to pop it up to 15,000. His opponent called and the flop came {J-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}.

Phan reached for a stack of orange T1,000 chips and stacked out a bet of 20,000. His opponent, however, pushed back, making it 47,000 to go. As Phan pondered, his opponent began to talk:

"You're behind right now," Phan's opponent said. "I promise you. And I'll show you. I'm not an angle shooter. I'll show."

"You'll show?" asked Phan curiously. With this bit of information, it seemed, Phan made his decision. Phan mucked {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs} faced up.

"Ugh," his opponent groaned. "Why do I talk? Why do I talk?!" His opponent tabled {8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} for a flopped flush. Phan made the correct laydown but still took a hit to his stack.

Cartwright Puts the Screws to Doerr

Eric Doerr opened the hand to 8,500 from the cutoff and only Kyle Cartwright felt like playing from the big blind. Cartwright re-raised to 21,500 and after Doerr asked him what he had behind Doerr called. The flop came {7-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs} {10-Hearts}, Cartwright bet 23,000 and Doerr called. The turn came {9-Clubs} and Carwright moved all in.

After several moments Doerr wanted a count and then said, "Show me if I fold?."

Cartwright sat motionless and the that prompted Doerr to say, "I've got a big hand here buddy." That said, Doerr folded pocket jacks face up and Cartwright took the pot.

"How do I miss that?!"

Eric Vogelstein put in a raise preflop and was three-bet by Aaron Overton. Vogelstein moved the rest of his stack in and Overton quickly made the call.

Vogelstein: {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}
Overton: {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}

Overton was behind but found immense hope when the flop came {K-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}. Now Overton was on the hunt for any king, jack, or club to help him out. Unfortunately for Overton, the turn and river brought {6-Diamonds} and {A-Diamonds} respectively.

"How do I miss that?" exclaimed Overton, while Eric Koerr chimed in "You'd have got it all in if you saw the flop!" Vogelstein, on the other hand, excitedly stacked his chips, more than content with his double up.

Action Slowing Down

Level 17 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Action has seemed to come to a screeching halt here in the Harrah's Room as the dinner break looms. With a buffet voucher in the hands of every remaining player, the prospect of food may be the reason that play has slowed.
