Jason Lester Doubles Up With Set

Jason Lester pushed all in for 6,200 from middle position, the player on the button reraised 12,000 total and the blinds folded. The board came {J-Clubs}{8-Spades}{3-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{5-Hearts}. The player on the button showed {A-Spades}{K-Hearts} and Lester turned over {5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} for a set of fives to take the pot and double up.

Steve Dannenmann Doubles Up

Facing an all-in re-raise and holding pocket nines, Steve Dannenmann asked the other player, "Are you nervous?"

"Yes," was the reply.

"Me too," said Dannenmann. But he made the call, his opponent showed A-4, and Dannenmann's hand held up on a {Q-Spades}{K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{4-Spades}{7-Hearts} board.

Gotta Love This Game

Right before the break, Karen Thomas won a big pot when her aces held up against pocket kings. Karen apparently is the excitable sort, because she let out a loud squeal, jumped up on her chair, and did a little dance. And then, uh, she lifted her skirt and flashed the crowd.

The other players watched the performance and then quickly headed out for break.
