Powell Power

On a flop of {J-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{6-Hearts}, Julian Powell bet 500, the cutoff called, the button raised to 2,550, and Powell reraised all in to 3,700. The cutoff folded and the button called.

Powell showed 10-10-x-x for a set of tens, and his opponent K-Q-x-x for a straight draw. The straight didn't come, and Powell's set held up.

Powell won another hand afterwards, and is now up to 14,800.

Cy-Clonie

A player in the small blind bet 700 on a flop of {6-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{K-Spades}, and Clonie Gowen reraised with the rest of her chips. The SB showed {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} for the overpair and nut flush draw, while Gowen tabled {J-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} for a lesser flush draw. The turn was a diamond, and Gowen rebought.

Soon after, Gowen got involved in another hand with David Williams. Williams bet 350 from late position, and Gowen called from the small blind. (A few others called as well.) The flop came {Q-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{6-Hearts}. All checked to Williams, who bet 1,500. Only Gowen called. The turn was the {J-Clubs}. Gowen pushed all in, and Williams called.

Gowen {10-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{8-Spades}{7-Clubs}
Williams {Q-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{3-Clubs}

The river was the {4-Diamonds}, and Gowen's eight-high straight took the pot. She's up to 11,000.

'Come on, Guys'

J. C. Tran is still trying to get players at his table to loosen up.

'Come on, guys, loosen up. This is a rebuy tournament. Most of you guys wouldn't even limp with this hand.'

His tactics have just meant he needed to rebuy, though, after being stacked by Marco Johnson.

Too Sick For One Dealer

A floorman has just had to take over from one dealer while she went outside to get some air. The action was so sick at her table she found it hard to keep up and lasted less than 40 minutes!

de Wolfe On an Early Prowl

Roland de Wolfe raised the pot only to be reraised by an opponent. The raising carried on until they were both all in.

de Wolfe tabled {K-Spades} {Q-Hearts} {A-Clubs} {6-Clubs} to his opponent's {A-Diamonds} {10-Spades} {K-Hearts} {7-Hearts}.

The board ran {K-Clubs} {Q-Clubs} {J-Spades} {2-Clubs} {3-Clubs}.

An early double up for de Wolfe who continued to push and news has just reached us that he's up to 24,000 already.
