Thomas Priced Into Calling With the Best Hand

Level 6 : 150/300, 25 ante

Board: {8-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}

A player in the blinds led out for 800, a second player called, and Travell Thomas raised to 1,900. The player in the blinds quickly called, and the third player folded.

The {2-Diamonds} completed the board, and the player in the blinds led out for 1,775. Thomas threw his hands into the air, then pointed at the pot. He proceeded to count the pot, then threw his hands in the air again when he realized he was pot committed.

Thomas unhappily spiked two orange T1,000 chips down in front of him, and the player flipped over {k-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for a pair of eights. Thomas turned over {a-Hearts}{9-Spades} for a straight, and won the pot.

Arieh Climbing

Level 6 : 150/300, 25 ante

The board read {3-Diamonds}{A-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} and Josh Arieh checked. His opponent fired out a bet of 1,500 and Arieh thought for a bit before making it 3,200 to go. Arieh's opponent then went into the tank for about a minute before finally deciding that he was beating a sending his hand sailing into the muck. After a very quick attempt at the first starting flight, Arieh has now been slowly grinding and it sitting on a stack of about 53,000.

Birnbaum Runs Into More Ladies

Level 6 : 150/300, 25 ante

Nancy Birnbaum opened to 625 from under the gun plus one. The player to her immediate left made it 1,650 to go and it folded back around to her. She called and took a flop of {K-Hearts}{A-Hearts}{9-Clubs}. The action went check-check and the {Q-Diamonds} turned. Once again both players checked.

The river brought the {6-Clubs} and Birnbaum bet 1,000. Her opponent snap-raised to 2,500 and Birnbaum called. He tabled {Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades} for a set of queens and she tossed her hand at the muck. With that loss, she's down to about 16,500 in chips.

Thin Value for Clinkscales

Level 7 : 200/400, 50 ante

When we arrived at the table, the board had been completed {7-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{3-Spades}{4-Spades}. Rex Clinkscales led out for 2,500, and David Diaz made the call. Clinkscales confidently rupped over {q-Clubs}{2-Spades} for queens up, and Diaz mucked his hand.

"Nice bet," he told Clinkscales, grinning.
