Andy Black's Aces Get Cracked

With {J-Spades}{10-Spades}{9-Hearts} on the board, Mark Vos bet out 300 from middle position, Andy Black raised to 800 from late position, the cut-off called and Vos folded. The {5-Clubs} came on the turn, Black bet 2,000, his opponent raised all-in for 3,350 and Black called. Black turned over {A-Spades}{A-Hearts} and his opponent showed {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}, for a flopped set. The river was a {2-Spades} and Black's aces were cracked. After the hand, Black was down to 2,800.

Clonie Gowan Kisses Her Chips Goodbye

And we mean this literally--after raising to 1,000 on the button Gowan and another player saw a {7-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{5-Clubs} flop. The other player moved in for his last 1,500 and Gowan kissed her chips before tossing them into the pot. And that's when she learned her opponent flopped top pair with {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds} to take the lead against Clonie's pocket Queens. She didn't catch a Queen on the turn or river and lost a big chunk of her stack.

Giving Freddy Deeb A Headache

Freddy Deeb just lost a small pot when he called a short-stack's all-in bet with {A-Clubs}{10-Clubs}. The other player had pocket Kings, they held up, and the other player doubled up.

Not that this hand was entirely responsible, but Deeb is playing today with a bottle of Tylenol Extra-Strength capsules on the table.

Shannon Elizabeth Eliminated On A Sick, Sick Hand

How sick?

After a {8-Spades}{4-Spades}{7-Spades} flop Shannon bet 275 from the small blind and Mark Heid called in the big blind. The player under-the-gun popped it to 2000, Shannon moved all-in and Heid and the orignal bettor quickly called.

Their hands? Elizabeth flopped a flush with {J-Spades}{10-Spades}. The UTG player flopped a flush with {Q-Spades}{9-Spades}. And the smooth-calling Heid? Yes, he held the nut flush with {A-Spades}{2-Spades}. He now sits with 18,000 chips and Elizabeth is done for the day.

Mueller Eliminates Ly

Minh Ly raised pre-flop and got it all in after the flop of {4-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{7-Clubs}, trying to protect his {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds}. But Mueller's {J-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} caught two more running clubs ({10-Clubs}{A-Clubs}) for a runner-runner flush. Mueller is up to 9800 chips.
