Shannon Elizabeth Making a Comeback

Shannon Elizabeth and two other players limp in. The flop came {J-Hearts}{9-Spades}{2-Hearts}. Elizabeth checked, big blind checked, the cut-off bet 1600 and both players called.

The turn came {3-Hearts}. Elizabeth checked, the big blind bet 2000, the cut-off folded, Elizabeth pushed all-in for 6000, the big blind folded and Elizabeth took the pot. After the hand Elizabeth was up to 10,700.

Freddy Deeb Takes the Chip Lead

With a little help from the cards this time. In the big blind Deeb called a raise from the cutoff and they saw a flop of {6-Clubs} {9-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds}. Deeb check-raised to 3000 and the other player moved all-in. Deeb showed {K-Diamonds} {10-Spades} for top pair, but his opponent had the overpair in pocket Jacks. The {5-Diamonds} on the turn opened up a flush draw for Freddy, and that backdoor draw hit in the cruelest possible way when the {J-Diamonds} gave Freddy the flush and his opponent a meaningless set. Deeb now has 53,000 chips.

Nam Le is Eliminated

After the player UTG made a 1200 raise, Nam Le and the big blind both called. The flop came {5-Hearts} {6-Spades} {3-Hearts} and the big blind bet 3800. The UTG player folded but Le raise all-in--or, at least he tried to. He could only bet the pot and that left him with 3,000 behind, and the big blind just called.

When the {K-Clubs} fell on the turn the little bit remaining ended up in the middle and Le showed {A-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} for the nut flush draw. The other player made two pair with {5-Spades} {3-Clubs}, and when he didn't catch a heart on the river Nam Le was eliminated.

Shannon Elizabeth Wins a Nice Pot

Facing a single limper, Shannon Elizabeth made it 1200 to go from the small blind and was called. The {A-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} {A-Spades} flop froze the action for the moment, but when the {2-Diamonds} turned Elizabeth bet 1200 again and was called. She checked the {5-Spades} on the river and called when her opponent bet 2900. Her {10-Diamonds} {10-Spades} was good enough to take the pot and she currently has 19,500.

Gavin Smith Doubles Up

Gavin Smith
Gavin Smith
In early position Gavin Smith raised to 800 and was called by the player to his right and the big blind. The flop came {6-Hearts} {2-Hearts} {6-Spades} and Smith's 2800 bet was called by the player to his right. The {7-Clubs} was good enough for Gavin to push with and his opponent decided to call. Smith had pocket Nines, his opponent pocket Threes, and after a blank hit on the river Gavin Smith had doubled up to 15,000.
