Buss-ted
Big Slick for The Grinder
A player under the gun raises and a middle position player calls. Michael Mizrachi in the cutoff re-raises and the UTG player re-raises 125 all in. The middle position player caps it and Mizrachi calls. On the turn, middle position checks, Mizrachi bets and MP calls. On the river, middle position checks, Mizrachi bets and MP folds. UTG shows
and Mizrachi shows 
for the win. He's up to 5,700.
Lots of Action, Big Reward
Flop:
The big blind bet out on the flop and was called by the player under the gun, but Lynch raised the bet, putting the player under the gun all-in. Both players made the call and the
fell on the turn. The player under the gun checked the turn, Lynch bet, then the player under the gun raised, Lynch reraised, and the player called. The 
landed on the river and the gun player checked to Lynch, who bet again, and the player under the gun called. Lynch turned over
and both remaining players mucked. Talk about a monster pot!
JC Tran Climbing Up
Picking it up on the turn, Tom Dobrilovic bets 300 and JC Tran raises. Dobrilovic calls. On the river, Dobrilovic checks. Tran bets and Dobrilovic calls.
Tran shows
for the full house and wins a 3,000 pot. Dobrilovic mucks and Tran is up to 6,200.
The Singing Began, and Abruptly Ended
Flop:
The small blind checked and Humberto bet. Immediately following the bet, Humberto started the quiet serenade while he waited for his opponent to make a decision. His opponent called and the turn was the
. The small blind checked and Humberto bet again, as the singing picked up. The river was the 
and both players checked. Humberto turned over Q-J while his opponent showed A-Q. Even though Humberto has stopped singing for now, we imagine it is only a matter of time before another Costa Rican melody is heard.
The Missed Raise Incident
The player behind her checks, and the dealer turns over a six, which would have given Rhodes (
) trip sixes. Rhodes argues that the player should have had to call her turn raise, and the dealer concedes this, shuffling the river card back into the deck and rewinding the action. Rhodes' opponent raises. Rhodes calls and the river is the same six. Rhodes bets, her opponent calls and she takes down the pot.
