Simon 'Aces' Trumper Survives Quad Jacks

With the board showing {J-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{J-Hearts} on the turn, a player bets 5,000, and Simon 'Aces' Trumper calls. The river card is the {K-Hearts}, and the first player bets 7,000. Trumper thinks for a bit, saying, "There's only one hand that beats me here." He thinks a little longer, and simply calls, leaving himself 2,000 in chips as he shows {K-Clubs}{K-Spades} for top full house on the river.

Most people would have put their last 2,000 in the pot there, but Trumper's read was correct, as his opponent shows {J-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} for quad jacks.

Trumper is down to 2,000, but most players in his situation would already be headed for the exit.

Howard Lederer's No Peek

Howard Lederer raised 600 and both blinds called. The flop was {7-Clubs}{6-Spades}{3-Diamonds}. The small blind bet 700. The big blind folded. Lederer went into the tank for several minutes before he raised to 3,700. The small blind thought about what to do for a minute before he folded A-7 face up.

"Will you show?" he asked Lederer.

Lederer smiled and tossed his cards to the dealer. He's not one to show his cards.

Actions Do Not Speak Louder Than Words

At one table, everyone folds to the small blind, who accidentally says "Six thousand" as he puts out 600 in chips. A floorperson is called over, and he tells the player that he just bet 6,000, and the bet stands.

The player in the big blind says with a gleam in his eye, "I haven't looked at my cards yet." He glances, shows 7-2, and folds. The small blind escapes from his mistake with no damage.

More Chips for PokerKat

Kathy "PokerKat" Liebert led out for 500 and had two callers.

Flop: {7-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{4-Clubs}

Liebert led out for 1,100 on the flop and only one player called. The turn was the {10-Clubs} and Kathy checked, but her opponent bet 2,000. Kathy made the call and the turn brought the {7-Spades}. Kathy led out for 10,000 and her opponent folded. After the hand, PokerKat is up to 28,500.

Bonomo Likes the River

Board: {J-Clubs}{7-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{5-Clubs}

Justin Bonomo and his opponent were heads-up on the river. Bonomo led out for 6,000 and his opponent called. After Bonomo showed {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}, his opponent mucked, and implied his two pair was counterfeited by the river.

John Juanda Loses Some More Chips

Just before the break, John Juanda bet 700 from the small blind on a flop of {J-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{A-Spades}, and the player on the button called. The {4-Spades} came on the turn. Juanda bet 2,250 and his opponent called. The river was the {8-Hearts} and both players checked. Juanda's opponent turned over {K-Spades}{J-Spades} for a pair and Juanda mucked his cards.

Berry Johnston Cracks Aces

After a flop of {Q-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}, a player moves all in for 16,200, and Berry Johnston calls with {Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} for top set. His opponent shows {A-Clubs}{A-Hearts}, and he's looking for one of two outs. The turn card is the {J-Hearts}, the river card is the {6-Hearts}, and Johnston busts his opponent on his way to 37,000 in chips.
