Kenna James Gets Opponent to Muck Pocket Queens

A middle position (MP) player raised to 1,800 before the flop and was called by Kenna James from the button. The flop came {K-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{4-Clubs} and both players checked.

The turn brought the {4-Spades}, and here's where things got interesting. The MP player checked and Kenna bet 4,200. James' opponent then picked up his entire stack and held it in the air. Upon seeing this, James grabbed his remaining 4,600 and threw it into the pot.

The floor was called to determine whether or not Kenna's all-in bet was binding and they ruled it was not. Kenna's opponent, after having the clock called on him by another player at the table, said to Kenna, "that was good, if you did that on purpose," and showed pocket Queens before throwing them into the muck.

Kenna raked the pot, showing {Q-Spades}{J-Spades}, for nothing but a flush draw and gutshot straight draw.

Joe Reitman Eliminated

Shortly after we returned from break, Joe Reitman got all of his chips into the middle before the flop with pocket 5's against an opponent's A-10. The flop came 10-3-3, and the turn and river blanked out, sending Reitman to the rail.

John Gale Doubles Up

John Gale made a pot sized bet of 10,100 and his opponent reraised all-in for 2,000 more. Gale made the call and flipped over {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}; his opponent showed {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}.

Gale got the help he needed when the flop came {K-Spades}{6-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}. The turn and river brought two blanks, and Gale stacked up 34,000 chips.
