A Very Specific Request on Table #1

Jamie Pickering, who has seen considerable success in several Aussie Millions events, raised to 4,500 from the cutoff, Thom Shultz called from the button, and the big blind called as well.

The flop came {2-Hearts}{8-Spades}{A-Hearts}. The big blind checked, Pickering tossed in his last 700, and both Shultz and the big blind called.

"Black four!" cried Pickering.

The turn came . . . {4-Clubs}. "Yes!" shouted Pickering. Both of his opponents checked.

The river was the {7-Clubs}, and Pickering showed {A-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{5-Spades}{K-Spades} for the wheel. Shultz showed Q-Q-10-9, and the big blind mucked.

Pickering is back up to 22,000.

Seibert You Later

Sitting with just 1,400 chips Paul Seibert moved in from under the gun and got five callers.

The flop came down {2-Hearts} {10-Spades} {9-Spades} and when Nam Le bet 3,200 everyone else folded.

Nam flipped over {A-Clubs} {J-Spades} {9-Diamonds} {K-Spades} for a draw to most things possible but he needed to hit as Seibert was holding {K-Clubs} {K-Hearts} {3-Clubs} {J-Diamonds}.

The turn came {A-Hearts} and river {10-Clubs} to give Nam the pot and we lose one more.
