Gowen Lets Roberts Hit a Set

Clonie Gowen is OUT.

I picked up the action on the turn, the board reading {8-Clubs} {6-Hearts} {5-Clubs} {A-Diamonds}. Ben Roberts bet out, and Gowen just flat-called.

The river was the {10-Spades} and Roberts bet out again. Gowen quickly put her remaining stack in the middle, and they turned over their cards.

Gowen: {A-Spades} {J-Spades}
Roberts: {10-Clubs} {10-Hearts}

A clearly horrified Gowen muttered, "Ah, I gave you a free card," before making her exit, shaking her head in disgust.

Schleger Eliminated

Shane Schleger has met his doom, raising utg with K-J and then calling all in for 18,000 total to a reraise from Chris Bell in the big blind. Bell had jacks, and a clinical, king-free board later, Schleger is no longer in the running.

Bell shifts up to 106,000.

Quinn Value-bets All In

With approximately 35,000 in the pot, Ben Roberts and Dan Quinn reached the river of a {7-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{K-Spades} board. After Roberts had checked, the action ground to a halt on Quinn, who dwelt up and fondled his stack phallically. Roberts, meanwhile, remained as unmoved and seemingly pensive as ever.

Eventually, Quinn reached out for his remaining two columns (worth around the pot) and gently slid them across the line.

Clearly perplexed by this decision, Roberts removed his glasses to consider his next move. After a brief pause, the veteran cash player opted for the fold and Quinn took the pot.

"Come on, show the bluff," demanded Keith Lehr. "It's good for the game."

Fulfilling the request, Quinn revealed {Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades}, for what was surely an accurate, if ultimately unsuccessful all-in value bet.

"Well played," complimented Roberts upon seeing the hand. "I had a king," he joked.
