MarcC

Erick Lindgren suggested the the players at his table start using 'I owe yous' after they ran out of rebuy chips.

Not the only table that this seems to be a problem.

Mathematics Shmathematics

Shamus

Hmm . . . double-suited aces are often good in that spot.

Four-way all-in preflop:

UTG -- {K-Diamonds}

Bill Chen (UTG+1) -- {A-Spades}

MP --

Ted Lawson (button) -- {K-Hearts}

Okay, Omahalics . . . who is the favorite here?

The answer, as Bill Chen surely knew, is Chen (by far). But did his hand hold up?

Board -- {10-Spades}

UTG wins with quad tens. Chen and Lawson both rebought. Poor Chen lost with A-A-x-x yet again right afterwards (to Lawson), and rebought again.

Ryan Daut has just tripled through Roland de Wolfe and an unknown player. Daut got all his chips in preflop, but de Wolfe and the other player created a side pot with their bet sizes.

de Wolfe bet into this side pot when the flop came {4-Diamonds}

and took it down when his opponent folded.

Now heads up, de Wolfe revealed {A-Clubs}

.

He was in trouble against Daut's {A-Diamonds}

x

The turn and river changed nothing and Daut moved up to 15,600.

de Wolfe slips a little to 23,000.
