Madsen Takes a Hit

On a flop of {K-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{8-Clubs} a player pushes all-in and is called by Jeff Madsen. Madsen has {A-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for the nut flush draw. His opponent shows {K-Spades}{7-Clubs} for top pair. The turn and river deliver neither ace nor club and Madsen is down to 1,300.

Phil Gordon Goes Out

Two players limped into the pot and Phil Gordon came along for the ride in the small blind holding 4-6. The flop of J-7-5 gave Gordon an open-ended straight draw and he moved all-in...only to find that the original limper was holding Aces. This was a perfect opportunity for the Poker Gods to punish Those Who Limp with Aces, but Gordon didn't hit his straight draw and was eliminated.

Jean-Robert Bellande Loses A Big Pot

After Gavin Smith and another player limped Jean-Robert Bellande raised from the big blind to 1,000 and the other two players called. The flop came {2-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} and Bellande moved all-in for 4,000. Smith folded but the other player called with the {K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}. Bellande held A-J, but the {A-Clubs} on the turn gave his opponent the nut flush and reduced Bellande's stack to 2,100.

Freedy Deeb Is Knocked Out

After seeing a flop of {8-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{J-Spades} the player in the big blind bet out 2,200 and Freddy Deeb called. On the turn the {K-Hearts} hit and the big blind checked. Freddy moved all-in and the big blind called instantly with {K-Spades}{K-Clubs}. Deeb had 2 pair with the {K-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} and was drawing dead. "Two kings!" Deeb said, and then he said something along the lines of "Gosh Darn It!" Something along those lines.
