Who's Freerollin' Whom?

On a board of {J-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{K-Spades}, David Williams bet big enough to put Evan Sofer all in, and Sofer called.

Williams had both a made straight and a set -- K-Q-Q-10 -- and thus was looking for the board to pair. Sofer held {A-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{3-Clubs} -- he also had a made straight, and was hoping a heart would come to give him the entire pot.

The river brought the {8-Hearts}, giving Sofer the flush and the pot. Sofer is up to 408,000, and Williams is at 300,000.

On a flop of {Q-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} {6-Diamonds}, Phil Galfond led out for a pot-sized bet, Chris "Jesus" Ferguson raised pot, and Galfond reraised all in, getting a call from Ferguson.

Galfond {Q-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds}

Ferguson {A-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds} {K-Spades} {2-Clubs}

Feguson held the overpair, a straight draw and the nut flush draw, but Galfond had flopped top two pair and a wrap. The turn was the {8-Hearts}, making Galfond's straight and Ferguson could not improve on the {5-Clubs} river. Galfond dragged the pot, increasing his stack to 415,000

Williams Douses Hellmuth's Fire

On a flop of {7-Spades}{6-Spades}{2-Diamonds}, Jani Vilmunen bet 12,000, David Williams called, and Phil Hellmuth also called. The turn was the {8-Spades}. Vilmunen checked, Williams bet 50,000, Hellmuth called, and Vilmunen folded.

The river was the {8-Clubs}. Williams bet 100,000, and Hellmuth went into the tank. After a couple of minutes of stewing, Hellmuth finally folded.

A Hellmuthian tirade followed, during which he saw fit to call Williams an "idiot." Williams reacted defensively, recounting to Hellmuth some of his previous play and discouraging him from making such accusations henceforth.

Gerasimov Knocks Out Perry

On a flop of {8-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{7-Hearts}, Ralph Perry bet 25,000 from the small blind, Kirill Gerasimov raised pot, and Perry called with the rest of his chips.

Perry showed {7-Spades}{Q-Spades}{10-Hearts}{J-Hearts} for two pair, a gutshot straight draw, and a flush draw. Gerasimov showed {A-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} for top pair, a straight draw, and a better flush draw.

The turn was the {2-Clubs}, and Perry was still ahead. But the {2-Hearts} on the river gave Gerasimov the hand, and Perry was out in 26th.
