The Cowboy and the Rat Pack

In a recent pot, Cowboy Kenna James was in the big blind facing an all-in raise from the short-stacked small blind. James called with {A-Clubs}

, and his opponent tabled {5-Spades}

. The board ran dry for the at-risk player, coming down {J-?}

. Kenna knocked out a player and chipped himself up a little bit to 29,500.

After the hand, Kenna broke into a little song, doing his best Sinatra:

And now
The end is near
And so I face the final curtain...

In something of a self-fulfilling prophecy, Kenna James went all in and was eliminated just a couple hands later.

Darrell Dicken, better known to his online pals as "Gigabet," has just tangled with another well-known internet player.

Dicken raised from the cutoff, bumping it up to 3,000. Matt "Allinat420" Stout was seated in the big blind, and he reraised to 9,000. Dicken shoved and Stout was more or less pot-committed to call. He put in the rest of his chips and turned over {A-?}

. Dicken had by far the best of it, showing down {K-?}

. There was no help for Stout on the board, and he is eliminated towards the end of Day 1.
