A Whale of a Time
Clements checked the flop, and then folded to Alspach's 650 bet.
Clements is now down to 2200; Alspach is up to 3650.
O'Donnell Struggling with the Ladies
After his preflop raise to 250 was called by the cutoff, Kevin's subsequent 475 and 1,125 bets on the flop and turn of a board were duly called, before both players checked down the river. "Nice hand," confessed a sporting Kevin as he was holding pocket queens.
Amir All Over the Place

UPDATE - in the time it took me to write that, Mr Vahedi has managed to slip back down to just 1,000 in circumstances unknown. Oops.

Ants in Their Pants
Also catching the Doug Lee bug is last night's runner upper Andy Bloch, his stack dipping down to a frightfully low 500, before jumping back up to 3,500 with a flopped set against, yes, you guessed it, Doug Lee's .
What's happened here, do these chaps have ants in their pants or something?
Best McEvoyd This One...
McEvoy made it 500 on the flop and Lacay called in early-ish position. McEvoy bet another 500 on the turn, and again, Lacay called. The river was the innocuous and McEvoy put Lacay all in with a 1200 bet. On their backs and Lacay's was no match for the mighty house-alicious of McEvoy.
Gobbo-OUT
Ace Saves Sebok
Short-stacked and all in with A-Q, Joe found himself in the sometimes merciful hands of the poker gods as his opponents revealed queens and kings. But an ace on the turn proved his saviour, leaving Joe with a much more playable, but still below his starting stack, 2,350.
Lipkin Has Many Chip-kin
Lipkin up to a whopping 10,800.
