Tom McCormick Busts One...Almost...

McCormick is in the SB holding {7-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}. A player in middle position goes all-in on the flop with {A-Hearts}{10-Spades}. The board shows {7-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{2-Hearts} giving McCormick two pair and the turn and river is a {10-Hearts}{A-Clubs} giving his opponent runner-runner for the full house. Tom doubles the player to 5200 in chips.

Minneapolis Jim Jawbones a Stack

On a flop of {4-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}, Jim Meehan pushes his last 2300 chips in the middle. His opponent thinks. Jim offers encouragement: "C'mon. I've lost 18.725 million on this hand in the last three months." His opponent eventually calls, putting himself all-in. His opponent shows {K-Hearts}{Q-Clubs} and Meehan shows {J-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}. Miraculously, the jacks hold up with a turn of {10-Clubs} and a {6-Clubs} river.

McEvoy Saved by the Chop

Tom McEvoy makes it 800 in the cut-off and the small blind calls. The small blind checks the flop in the dark. The flop comes {J-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{J-Spades} and McEvoy pushes all-in for 2700. The small blind thinks... and then calls. McEvoy shows A-2 and his opponent has A-4; flopping two pair. The turn is a {A-Spades}. The river brings a {10-Diamonds}, creating a chopped pot.
