Racing Redmond

MarcC

Richard Redmond is up to 32,000 now. This was helped by him getting it all in preflop with {A-Diamonds}

versus an early postion player's {10-?}

. An ace on the flop enough to win it for Redmond and eliminate his opponent.

A short while later Redmond was at it again, eliminating another player. He made two pair on the river, holding A-9. His opponent could only muster one pair with Q-9 and headed for the exit.

Heath Chick Goes Out

[user66118]

No-Limit Hold'em:

Five people limp into the pot in front of Heath "TassieDevil" Chick. From the button, he raises it up to 1,400. The small blind is next, and he moves all in. Action folds back around to late position, where one of the original limpers moves all in as well. Chick calls, all in for his last 8,800 chips, and the hands are turned over:

Chick: {J-Spades}

Small Blind: {Q-Diamonds}

Late Position: {A-Spades}

His opponents had TassieDevil in tough shape, and the board failed to provide him any help. It ran out {7-Spades}
