Joe Sebok Makes a Big Call

In late position Joe Sebok raised to 1,800 and the big blind made it 6,800 straight. Sebok called and they saw a flop of {5-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}. Both players checked, and they also checked when the {2-Spades} fell on the turn. The player in the big blind bet 5,000 when the {4-Hearts} hit on the river, and Sebok called and showed {3-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}. The big blind had {A-Spades}{K-Hearts} and Sebok's pair of fours won the pot.

Chris Ferguson Decides To Fight Another Day

After the player in the big blind called Chris "Jesus" Ferguson's 2,000 preflop raise, they saw a flop of {J-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{5-Hearts}. The big blind check-called Ferguson's 3,500 bet, and when the {10-Clubs} hit on the turn they both checked. When the {2-Spades} fell on the river the other player bet 6,000, and Ferguson said, "You got a flush" before laying down his cards. That hand left Jesus with just 5,600 in chips.

Antonio Esfandiari Survives

When the player to his left raised to 2,500, Antonio Esfandiari moved in the last of his chips. The other player called and showed {K-Spades}{K-Hearts} to Esfandiari's {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs}. After the first four cards completely missed him Antonio was dead to an Ace. And then, on the river, he spiked the {A-Clubs} to stay alive.

Her pair of Aces held up and that pot brought her stack up to 55,000.

Coming From Behind To . . . Lose

Is there any sadder situation in poker than when you get crazy lucky and suck out on someone . . . and then they re-suck out? An example:

Flaminio Malanuti has A-J. He doesn't know it but he's up against pocket Kings. The flop comes 10-K-Q. All the money goes in, big big pot, and Malanuti shows that he flopped Broadway . . . and now he has to gut out the last two cards and hope they don't pair the board.

Turn is a 3. Good . . .
River is a Queen.

And Malanuti's stack is halved to 20,000.
