Eugene Todd Wins Three Straight

Time for a kill pot?

Eugene Todd goes all in on the turn with {A-Diamonds}{10-Spades} versus {10-Clubs}{2-Clubs} and a player in the big blind is out. On the next hand, on a flop of {2-Spades}{9-Hearts}{9-Spades}, Todd checks in the big blind and the middle position bets 600. The late position folds and Todd re-pops to 2,100. Jeff Madsen asks him if he has anything.

"I have a little something," Todd says. Madsen folds.

On the next hand, he knocks out another player with {5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} and a five on the flop. That player rebuys. Todd is up to 12,800.

Roland de Wolfe Triples Up

With {5-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} on the board Roland de Wolfe pushes all in with {6-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} and gets called by two players, the 1 seat holding {8-Clubs}{9-Clubs} and the 7 seat holding {7-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}. A {9-Spades} comes on the turn giving seat 1 trips but Roland makes his flush with the {A-Diamonds} on the river. Roland hasn't rebought yet and with that triple-up he may not have to for awhile.
