Roper Roped In

On a flop of {Q-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}, Greg "FBT" Mueller checked and Paul Roper went all in for 51,400. Mueller called and showed {K-Clubs}{J-Clubs} to {J-Spades}{8-Spades} for Roper. The turn and river were {2-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} and Roper busted out. Mueller has 306,000 in chips.

Sebok Hits the PokerRoad

Evan McNiff limped in on the button and Thomas Roupe raised to 9,000. Joe Sebok re-raised to 35,000 and McNiff folded. Roupe three-betted it all in for about 80,000. Sebok called with {J-Spades}{J-Diamonds} to the {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} of Roupe.

The door card was a heartbreaker -- {Q-Hearts} -- and the whole thing was {Q-Hearts}{6-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{5-Hearts}. Sebok busted out. Roupe is up to 208,000 and McNiff is down to 25,000.
