From Side Pot to Whole Pot

Up To 125,000 Now
Up To 125,000 Now
Andy Black and three other players at his table are still involved in a pot at the turn stage with the board reading {K-Diamonds} {10-Spades} {5-Diamonds} {7-Clubs}.

A player in front of Black bets 4,000 before he raises up to 13,000. A player behind him calls but but the original bettor and the fourth player involved both fold.

The river comes {10-Clubs} and Black is set all in by his opponent.

He calls with {7-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} {K-Hearts} for a full house.

His opponent shows {J-Diamonds} {8-Spades} {9-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} for a missed flush draw, so attemped a bluff. Andy Black is not the right opponent to try that on

All Apologies

On a flop of {8-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}, Mark Goodwin just called a shorter-stacked player's all-in bet, saying "I'm apologize if I beat you."

Goodwin showed {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{J-Spades}{2-Clubs}, but his opponent was in good shape with {Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{4-Hearts}. The turn and river brought no king, and Goodwin is down to 32,000.

Phillips Busted

Final table bubble boy in the last $1,500 PLO event, Tony Phillips, got the last of his chips in preflop holding {A-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} {J-Clubs} {7-Spades}.

He was called by an opponent holding {K-Diamonds} {K-Spades} {8-Clubs} {2-Diamonds}.

The board was {K-Hearts} {10-Spades} {6-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} {5-Clubs}.

No luck for Phillips and he leaves on Day 1 this time.

Porter Shown Door

On a flop of {2-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{9-Clubs}, Rep Porter and David Grey checked, Brandon Cantu bet 10,000, Porter reraised all in to about 40,000, Grey called, and Cantu folded.

Porter: {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}{J-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}
Grey: {J-Spades}{9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{7-Spades}

Grey had flopped top set, and Porter was in dire straits. The turn was the {K-Hearts} and the river the {2-Hearts}, and Porter was done. Grey is up to 103,000.

Two Pair Beats Guzzardi

After a middle position player limped, Michael Guzzardi raised to 2,800 from late position, and the MP player called.

The flop came {K-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{6-Clubs}, and the MP player check-called Guzzardi's 4,000 bet. Both checked the {J-Hearts} on the turn. The river was the {10-Hearts} and Guzzardi's opponent check-called his12,000 bet.

Seeing his adversary's {7-Hearts}{6-Spades}{4-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}, Guzzardi mucked. He's sitting at 47,000.

Fitoussi Fit

On a flop of {A-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{4-Clubs}, Jared Hamby got it all in with {A-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}-x-x -- he'd flopped the boat. Bruno Fitoussi was the unfortunate caller with {A-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{3-Clubs}. Hamby doubled up to 25,000.

Soon after, Fitoussi got some back after going all in preflop with A-K-Q-4 single-suited and drawing out a couple of queens. Fitoussi has 24,000.
