Whalen Doubles

Earlier Bob Whalen flopped a strait flush. This time he flopped a flush draw and waited to complete it until the river.

He was all in by the turn of a {6-Spades}{10-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} board holding {a-Spades}{k-Spades}. He was up against the {q-Spades}{10-Clubs} of his opponent. The river was the {3-Spades} shipping Whalen the pot and leaving his opponent crushed.

Williams Without Chips

David Williams had worked his stack up to around 50,000 earlier, which by our estimation was the top for him for the day. However, we walked over and saw that he was counting out his chips after losing a big pot. We didn't catch the action, but we did see that William's opponent had turned a queen high flush, and that Williams couldn't beat it. His opponent had him outchipped, meaning that he has been eliminated.

Clements Catches

We walked over to the table with Scott Clements all in with {q-Hearts}{9-Hearts} for his final 20,100 against the {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} of his opponent. There was a third player at the table who was apologizing prefusely to Clements for "bad etiquette". While were not sure exactly what happened, all was forgiven when the flop was {a-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}. Clements, who never appeared especially upset, was able to fade the {5-Spades} turn and {2-Hearts} river to double up.

Karma For Stone

We walked over to a nearby table that was having a verbal disbute. The blinds had just been raised from 500/1000 to 600/1200. A player in middle position threw in two 1,000-chips apparently trying to raise. Kate Stone was in the big blind and championed the fact that it was a call when the floor came over. Indeed, it was ruled a call despite disagreements at the table.

Action folded to the small blind who called before Stone looked at her cards and moved all in for her final 23,200. The limper who tried to raise mucked his hand and the small blind quickly called.

Stone: {q-Clubs}{q-Spades}
Opponent: {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}

The board ran out {3-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{3-Hearts} and Stone earned the double up even though she might have cost herself 1,200 extra chips had the original action been ruled a raise.

Frei and Kumar Have the Hearts

We picked up the action preflop with a main that had already built up to over 35,000. Kumar Hate was already all in and called twice at this point. The small blind was all in over the top for 34,000 and change more and action was on Aaron Frei who had about 48,000 left in front of him. He decided to put both players at risk by making the call.

Hate: {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}
Opponent: {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades}
Frei: {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}

Frei called out for an eight the whole way down. He wouldn't get one... but he also didn't need one. The board ran out {5-Hearts}{6-Spades}{6-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{4-Hearts}. It took the table a few seconds to realize it but Frei and Hate had both made flushes. Hate scooped the main pot while Frei took down the even larger side pot.

Frei tried to explain his thought process throughout the hand to the table but it didn't stop him from being a little shy when asked for his name. "Oh no, don't put this one up," he joked.
