Dutch Boyd Doubles Up

After a middle position player limped in, Dutch Boyd raised all-in from the cutoff seat. The blinds passed and the limper called. The players showed . . .

Boyd: {10-Spades}{4-Clubs}
Opponent: {K-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}

Boyd flopped a pair of tens and that would be all he needed to take down the pot and double up. He's now working with a chip stack of about 13,000.

Paul Magriel Quacks Up The Table

With 17,000 already in the pot and the board reading {10-Hearts}{5-Spades}{A-Clubs}{J-Hearts}, Paul "X-22" Magriel made a bet of 22,000. His opponent moved all in for 22,675 and Magriel made the call.

When the hands were rolled over, Magriel had {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades} while his opponent had {A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}. "Well, I guess neither of us wants to make two pair here, huh?" said Magriel. The river blanked out with the {4-Hearts}, and Magriel remarked "Double Quack Quack!"

Sorel "Imper1um" Mizzi
Sorel "Imper1um" Mizzi
Left with only around 10,000 in chips, Sorel "Imper1um" Mizzi led out for 3,000 preflop. His opponent raised back for another 8,000, putting Mizzi all-in. Mizzi made the call and showed {7-Spades}{6-Diamonds} while his opponent showed {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}. The flop was {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} and Mizzi began packing his stuff. The turn was the {2-Diamonds} and the river was the {A-Diamonds}.

"Good game, guys," Mizzi said as he began to walk from the table. The dealer and table had to inform him of the rivered flush he had just made.

"The Magician" Makes Another Player Disappear

"The Magician"
"The Magician"
Action folded around to the small blind who open raised all in for 7,575. Antonio Esfandiari, the only player left to act, was in the big blind. After a lengthy consideration, Antonio made the call. The small blind says "You didn't have to call." Esfandiari laughingly says "You didn't have to raise." The players turned up . . .

Esfandiari: {Q-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Small Blind: {A-Spades}{3-Spades}

The board filled out {Q-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}. Antonio's pair of queens were best and the small blind shook his hand on his way toward the exit.

Mimi Tran Takes the Worst Of It

Mimi Tran
Mimi Tran
A player open raised all in from under the gun for 10,500. Action folded to Mimi Tran who made the call from middle position. The players showed...

Tran: {J-Hearts}{J-Spades}
Opponent: {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}

The flop came down {Q-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{4-Hearts}, giving Tran an even bigger lead in the hand. The {9-Spades} on the turn was fairly meaningless. It was the {10-Hearts} on the river that changed things considerably giving Mimi's opponent a broadway straight and cracking her flopped set. Tran is now down to 19,000.
