Ice Ice Baby

The charasmatic Teddy "Iceman" Monroe has just managed a much-needed double-up. Michael Lawrence raised it up preflop and Teddy called before the flop came...

{J-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} {6-Hearts}

Teddy led out for 5,000 before calling the raise to 10,000 by Michael. The turn brought...

{7-Spades}

Teddy moved all in and Michael called with {Q-Hearts} {J-Hearts} but was behind to Teddy's {A-Spades} {J-Spades}.

The river of {K-Diamonds} changed nothing and The Iceman doubled up to 48,000.

Out-Lawed

Chung Law enters the pot with a raise from the button and finds a call from Steve Foutty in the small blind. The flop comes down...

{5-Diamonds} {9-Spades} {2-Clubs}

Steve leads out for a bet that's called by Chung before we see the turn...

{A-Clubs}

Steve leads out once more but faces a raise this this time from Chung. Steve reraises and Chung calls before the river comes...

{7-Hearts}

For the third time Steve leads out and Chung makes another call but mucks when he sees the {A-Diamonds} {K-Spades} that Steve's holding.

Steve is up to 217,000 now while Chung slips back to 98,000.

Seating Update

I am pleased to inform you that after the three table re-draw Vinny Vinh and "Iceman" Monroe are seated at the same table. In fact they are separated by one player, Terrence Chan, and joined by Erick Lindgren as well.

We will keep you updated with all the exciting drama.

The Price is Too Good to Fold

Shayne Matyjas raises to 8,000 from under the gun and recieves three callers before we see the flop...

{10-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} {10-Hearts}

It's checked to Steve Shkolnik in the cutoff who bets 4,000. Shayne and Erick Lindgren call before the turn comes...

{5-Diamonds}

It's checked around to Steve again who fires 8,000 into the pot. Shayne calls but Erick bails out. The river comes...

{3-Hearts}

Once again it's checked to Steve who fires 8,000 once more. By the look on Shayne's face, he knows he's beat but the price is too good to fold so he calls with {K-Clubs} {Q-Hearts}. It's no good against the turned flush of Steve holding {K-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds}.

Iceman Versus Vinny Vinh

Teddy "Iceman" Monroe has just been moved to the same table as Vinny Vinh. The are sitting on opposite side of the table out of physical reach from one and other, but certainty within vocal range. We will be sure to keep a close ear on this table and keep you informed of all the fantastic dialogue, which we can virtually guarantee.

Taylor KOs Cremen

Brenden Taylor and Frank Cremen tangled in what would be Cremen's final hand of the night. A raise preflop got all of Cremen's chips in the pot and both players turned their hands up.

Cremen: {A-Clubs} {3-Clubs}
Taylor: {5-Spades} {5-Hearts}

The board came {J-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} {2-Spades} giving Taylor the overkill straight and sending Cremen to the rail.

Taylor has 110,000.
