Mr. Know-It-All

Two players ended up all in. One held pocket Kings, the other A-Q. The flop comes {A-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}.

"I knew it," said the player with Kings.

The turn comes {K-Diamonds}.

"Oh," he says.

The river is the {K-Clubs}.

"Bet you didn't know THAT," said another player at the table.

Sebok Alive, Barely

Yet another all-in for Joe Sebok today. This time it was a race, and Sebok found himself behind on the flop.

Flop: {K-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{9-Clubs}

Sebok held pocket queens while his opponent had {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}. His opponent was ahead, but Sebok had outs. The turn was the {3-Spades}, but the miracle river {J-Hearts} kept Sebok alive with the straight. Sebok is currently up to 37,000.

You Can't Stop Tom Schneider, You Can Only Hope To Contain Him

Did we say Tom Schneider won two pots in a row with Aces? How about he's won five pots in a row to lift his stack from 16,000 to 80K. On one he held {A-Hearts}{J-Spades}, check-called a 9,700 bet when the {J-Spades} on the turn gave him top pair, and checked it down when the {K-Clubs} fell on the river. He raked in about a 20K pot in that instance and has everyone at his table tilting and talking among themselves.

Mark Kroon Can Finally Get Comfortable

Mark 'PokerHo' Kroon just had his table break for the *sixth* time today, in just 2 hours and 25 minutes of play. Kroon has averaged a new table every 24 minutes or so, making it very tough to get a read on the other players.

This time, he is moving to the opposite side of the room, and he should be able to get comfortable at Table 55, Seat 7 -- that table is very late in the breaking order.
