Jamshidi Takes from Queen

Sirous Jamshidi
Sirous Jamshidi

Alex Queen opened to 1050 from middle position, and the action folded to Sirous Jamshidi who called out of the small blind. The dealer fanned {q-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{3-Spades}, and both players checked.

The turn was the {6-Spades}, and Jamshidi checked again. Queen tossed out five purple T500 chips, and Jamshidi made the call.

The {2-Hearts} completed the board, and Jamshidi led out with a 3,050-chip bet. Queen tank-folded, and Jamshidi raked in the pot.

Karate Coolered

"What a cooler," we heard from across the room.

"Karate" Mike Santoro had an opponent all in and at risk, but his {a-Hearts}{4-Hearts} was trailing the player's {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs} on the {a-Spades}{4-Spades}{q-Diamonds} flop. The turn and river came {3-Diamonds}, {6-Clubs} respectively, and Santoro's opponent doubled.

"F***ing disgustingly gross," Santoro muttered as his opponent stacked his chips.

Eolis Survives After a "Whoops" Moment

Wendeen Eolis has been a major contributor to the poker community fora few decades now. She was the first woman to win an European open event and also was the first woman to cash in the WSOP Main Event. Her influence is far-reaching as she is an active member of the WSOP Players Advisory Council.

We just caught her in a hand with a flop of {8-Spades} {4-Spades} {Q-Diamonds} and she was first to act. She announced all in and her opponent insta-called.

"Whoops," Eolis said, "I'm way behind." She tabled {Q-Clubs} {J-Clubs} and her opponent held {A-Clubs} {Q-Spades}.

Her "Whoops" moment turned to gold when the board completed {10-Diamonds} {9-Spades} and she doubled up with a straight.

Dwyte Pilgrim and an opponent were heads up with the board reading {5-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}, and Pilgrim's opponent moved all in over a bet from Pilgrim.

"Call," Pilgrim said immediately.

The player begrudgingly turned over {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}, and Pilgrim had him crushed with {a-Spades}{5-Spades}. The board ran out {7-Spades}, {k-Hearts}, and Pilgrim doubled to 36,000 chips.

Mike Leah is flush with new chips.
Mike Leah is flush with new chips.

Mike "goleafsgoeh" Leah just doubled with queens on an {8-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{9-Clubs} board against an opponent with {6-Clubs}{4-Spades}. We missed the exact action, but according to Daniel Buzgon, there was a raise, a three-bet, and a call preflop, and all the money went in on the flop.

Buzgon is also doing quite well - he's over the century mark with 110,000 chips.
