E-Fro Out

Eric Froehlich, Men Nguyen, and Scotty Nguyen all limped, Josh Arieh raised from the small blind, and the others all called.

The flop came 10-9-3. Arieh bet 4,000, Froehlich raised all in for 10,000, the others folded, and Arieh called. Arieh showed Q-J-9-8, and Froehlich K-Q-10-8.

The turn was the {3-Diamonds}

and the river the {7-Hearts}

. That river gave Arieh a straight, and Froehlich chose not to rebuy.

Kid Poker Not Going Anywhere

Shortly after that hand with Phil Hellmuth, Daniel Negreanu ended up in another big hand with Robert Williamson III.

Six players limped to see a flop of {Q-Diamonds}

. Negreanu bet 6,000 from the big blind, and only Williamson called behind him. Before the turn card came, Negreanu announced he was all in. Williamson called in the dark.

Negreanu: {J-Spades}

Williamson: {4-Clubs}

Coupla guys drawing here. The {6-Hearts}

gave both straights, but Williamson's was better. The river {3-Diamonds}

didn't change things. Williamson was up to 69,000, and Negreanu was rebuying.

On the very next hand, Negreanu's straight draw didn't come, and Daniel Alaei made quads. "Rebuy!"

Negreanu was stacked again the next hand, and rebought again.

Devilfish Steaming

After a checked flop of {8-Diamonds}

, David "Devilfish" Ulliott, bet 7,000 when the {2-Diamonds}

hit the turn. Jeff Williams quickly reraised all in, and this sent Ulliott into the tank.

"Did you check the flush draw?" Ulliott asked.

Finally, "Devilfish" called, but angrily tossed his hand into muck when he saw Williams show {9-Diamonds}

for not only the flopped straight, but the turned flush.

The meaningless river card led to an Ulliott rebuy, while Jeff Williams now has a stack of 45,000

Phil Hellmuth limped from middle position, Sirous Jamshidi called from the cutoff, Daniel Negreanu called from the button, Daniel Alaei folded from the small blind, and Alex Kravchenko checked his option in the big blind.

The flop came {K-Clubs}

, and all four checked. The turn was the {2-Diamonds}

. Kravchenko bet 2,000, Hellmuth raised to 6,000, and Jamshidi called. Then Negreanu re-potted to 21,000. Kravchenko folded, Hellmuth reraised all in, Jamshidi folded and Negreanu made the call.

Hellmuth: {K-Spades}
