Quads Should Do It

MarcC

A big pot just took place between Calen McNeil and Thom Schultz. The flop read {3-Diamonds}

when McNeil bet 15,000 before Schultz raised the pot. McNeil called before the turn came {4-Clubs}

.

But before the turn had come McNeil had already moved the rest of his chips in the middle and Schultz had followed him. McNeil tabled {K-Spades}

but was drawing dead to Schultz's {4-Hearts}

for quads.

The meaningless river came {K-Diamonds}

.

Schultz is up to 124,000 now.

McNeil managed to win a pot soon after and sits at 75,000.

Pickering On Gill

Shamus

A late-position player limped, James Pickering raised to 12,000 from the small blind. Carter Gill called from the big blind, as did the late-position player.

The flop came {J-Diamonds}

. Pickering pushed his remaining chips all in, Gill called, and the LP player folded. Pickering showed {A-Diamonds}

for the nut straight, plus redraws to a better straight. Gill showed {J-Clubs}

.

The turn was the {J-Spades}

and the river the {6-Clubs}

, and Pickering is now up around 100,000. Gill, meanwhile, has fallen back down to 35,000.

Selbst & the Other Thirty-Two

Shamus

Staff just finished racing off $100 chips. Vanessa Selbst looks to have just under 300,000 at the moment, still far in the lead.

Fly Robbins Fly

Shamus

In a big hand just before the break, Chau Giang bet enough on a flop of {K-Hearts}

to put Jamie Robbins all in, and Robbins made the call.

Robbins showed {8-Clubs}

for trip eights, and Giang showed {A-Hearts}

for a pair of kings and no real draws. The board did not alter the circumstances, and Robbins doubled up to 88,000.
