Kenny Rundh Shows A Bluff

Rundh called a 6,000 raise before the {2-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{10-Clubs} flop and check-called another 6,000 bet. The {A-Clubs} on the turn induced a check from both players and when the {3-Clubs} hit on the river Rundh bet 17,600. The other player folded and tabled {K-Spades}{K-Hearts}, and that's when Rundh turned over his {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}.

The Most Animated We've Seen Tom McEvoy... Ever

And it ended up as a split pot!

Tom McEvoy bet out on a flop of {K-Hearts}{10-Spades}{6-Spades}, Mark Weiner moved all-in and McEvoy grabbed his remaining chips and slammed the stack into the pot as he turned over {A-Spades}{K-Spades}. Weiner turned over {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}. No spade on the turn or the river for the freerolling McEvoy and they split the pot.

"Man, I never like it when YOU call!" laughed Weiner as they re-stacked their chips.

Raymond Davis

He Said What?

A short-stacked player in late position said "All-in" and started pushing his chips into the middle. Started to. Before he did the player in the small blind said "Call". Unfortunately, he didn't hear the all-in. And learned to his dismay that his verbal declaration was binding and he was on the hook for 28,000.

Making matters worse was that his {J-Spades}{8-Spades} was dominated by his opponent's {A-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}. Making matters better was the {6-Spades}{9-Spades}{10-Diamonds} flop, which gave him both a straight and flush draw. But the {10-Clubs} and {4-Clubs} on the turn and river didn't help and his moment of inattention cost him a tidy chunk of his stack.
