Chris "Armenian Express" Grigorian Eliminated

We caught up to this hand on the flop. With the board reading {K-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} {2-Hearts} Chris Grigorian checked to his lone opponent Caroline Cooper. Cooper bet 1,000 and Grigorian moved all in. Cooper thought for quite some time before finally calling. The players showed:

Cooper: {K-Clubs} {Q-Hearts}
Grigorian: {K-Hearts} {9-Hearts}

The turn and river blanked and Grigorian was felted. Cooper stacks up to just over 15,000.

Ross Boatman Triples Up

Ross Boatman recently found himself all in in a three-way pot. There was heavy action on the side but when all was said and done, the board read {10-Clubs} {9-Diamonds} {7-Hearts} {9-Clubs} {6-Clubs} and Boatman's {7-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} took down the main pot of roughly 3,800.

O'Coinflips

Stephen O'Dwyer raised to 900 from early position, the small blind moved all in and O'Dwyer made the call.

O'Dwyer {A-Clubs} {K-Diamonds}

Small Blind {Q-Clubs} {Q-Hearts}

The flop was {K-Hearts} {9-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} pairing O'Dwyer's king. The turn was the {6-Diamonds}, the river was the {4-Diamonds} and O'Dwyer eliminated his opponent, increasing his stack to 26,000.

Theo Tran Mixes It Up

On a board of {9-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} {3-Spades} {4-Spades}, Theo Tran called the all-in of a shorter stack and showed {4-Hearts} {3-Hearts}. The all-in player showed {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Spades} and was drawing slim. The {3-Diamonds} gave Tran the winning boat and he climbed to just over 30,000 chips.

Michael Guzzardi Doubles Up, Also a Fan of Pizza Hut

A middle-position player limped in, the cutoff limped, Michael Guzzardi raised to 1,350, the small blind flat-called and the two limpers called as well. The flop was {Q-Spades} {4-Hearts} {3-Diamonds} and the action was checked around. The turn was the {5-Spades}. The small blind checked, the MP player bet 3,000, the cutoff folded and the action was on Guzzardi.

As Guzzardi pondered his decision, he tore off a slice of his Pizza Hut Personal Pan pizza and took a bite. Then he took another bite. Then he dropped the crust into the box and stared at the board. Then he retrieved the crust from the box, ate it, and finally, with a flourish, tipped his stack of chips into the pot, and said "All in." The small blind folded and the MP player called.

Guzzardi showed {5-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} for a turned set. The MP player showed {A-Spades} {8-Spades} for a flush draw and a gutshot. The river, though was the {3-Hearts} , making Guzzardi a full house, and he raked in the pot. He's now up to 21,800 chips and still enjoying his pizza.

Rolf Slotboom
Rolf Slotboom
Rolf Slotboom raised all in for 2,250 and got a single caller who showed {A-Diamonds} {Q-Spades}. Slotboom was behind, but had live cards holding the {K-Hearts} {4-Clubs}.

Slotboom took the lead on the {9-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} flop, but the {Q-Hearts} on the turn left him in bad shape. The {7-Hearts} on the river was no help to Rolf and he was eliminated.
