Karam Kreamed

David Longmuir called from middle position, Marc Karam raised to 925, and then Longmuir limp-reraised to 3,450. Karam called.

The flop came {Q-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}, and Longmuir bet 4,500. "I've put you on aces," said Karam as he made the call. Longmuir had aces all right, but it was his other two cards that mattered more here.

Longmuir {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}{4-Clubs}{6-Hearts}
Karam {4-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{J-Spades}{7-Clubs}

A six on the turn gave Longmuir the boat, and Karam was done.

J.C. Tran Is No More

J.C. Tran has just been eliminated in a three-way pot including Allyn Jaffrey Shulman and an unknown player. The board read {A-Clubs} {3-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} and all the money went in on the turn. It was the unkown player who pushed, promting Tran to call all in and Shulman to call as well.

Shulman was holding {J-Hearts} {7-Spades} {K-Clubs} {Q-Clubs}, rivering the flush to eliminate both players. Shulman up to 17,000 now.

A Stylish Challenge

Marcel Luske
Marcel Luske
The always well-dressed Marcel Luske just took a seat at Table #1. A player to his left told Luske he'd like to make a prop bet with him, and if Luske were to lose, Luske would have to dress like him (i.e., in the usual baseball cap, short-sleeved poker garb).

The sly glance from beneath those upside-down glasses didn't seem to indicate interest in such a bet.

Fallen Frenchman

David Benyamine made a pot-sized raise preflop and an all-in pot-sized bet on the flop of {A-Clubs} {7-Clubs} {2-Hearts}. He was called both times by an unknown player holding {A-Diamonds} {Q-Spades} {J-Spades} {4-Hearts}.

The turn came {5-Diamonds} and river {4-Spades} to give him two pair. We missed Benyamine's hand but apparently he was betting with air and heads to the rail.

De Wolfe Devoured

Roland de Wolfe had all his chips in the middle preflop with A-T-4-Q against his opponent's K-K-7-2. A king flopped, and de Wolfe couldn't come back versus top set. De Wolfe is out.
