Odd One Out

[user22113]

Kevin O'Donnell was the odd one out in this 4 way pot. With 4 players all in on the turn on a board showing.
{2-Spades}

Kevin was up against 3 players holding the nuts, J9, but he had the nut flush draw and if he hits the case 9 he makes a bigger straight. Unfortunately for him the {10-Diamonds}

didn't help either draw and he has been forced to use his rebuy.

A Note About Chipcounts

[user22113]

After a lively debate, it's been decided that any and all player chip counts given from this point forward, will include the 10,000 in additional chips "available" to that player regardless of whether or not he or she has officially utilized them.

What do Doyle Brunson's Ringtone, and This Field Have In Common?

Both are 'The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly'.

Doyle's cell phone just rang, and his ringtone is the theme from the 1960's Clint Eastwood movie.

Level: 2

Blinds: 100/200

Granstad's Aces Hold...Eventually

[user14554]

Henning Granstad raises to 350, Dario Minieri calls, Jeff Lisandro takes it to 1100, Granstad re-raises to 4400, Dario Minieri folds and Jeff Lisandro pushes all-in and is called by Granstad. Granstad has {A-Hearts}

and Lisandro has {K-Hearts}

. The flop is J-J-K, offering a reprieve for Lisandro. But the turn and river come J-A. Lisandro becomes one more player to "rebuy."
