donpeters

J.J. Liu moved all in from the cutoff with {A-Clubs}

for 46,000. Steve Ware called her from the big blind with pocket sevens.

The flop came {10-Clubs}

and gave Ware a set. He wasn't a sure win though, as Liu picked up a flush draw. The turn came the {3-Spades}

and the river the {6-Spades}

and Ware was in the clear and able to bust Liu.

Liu was on the grind for a long while today on the short stack and finished in a very respectable 18th place.

Battle for Side Pot Saves Gabriellson

Shamus

Shortly after that hand in which Steve Ware doubled up with kings, we had an interesting three-way pot involving Ware, Ferit Gabriellson, and Jesper Petersen.

Gabriellson was all in for his last 35,000 from the cutoff, and Ware and Petersen called him from the blinds. The flop came {Q-Spades}

, and both checked. The turn was the {8-Spades}

. Ware checked, Petersen bet 20,000 into the dry side pot, then Ware reraised to 48,000.

Petersen folded to Ware's reraise. "Yes!" said Gabriellson. "You folded an eight, right?" he said to Petersen. Petersen confirmed that he had.

Gabriellson showed {6-Diamonds}

. Ware had {A-Spades}

for the nut flush draw. The river was the {J-Diamonds}

, and Gabriellson survived.

Table Talk at a Minimum

donpeters

Along with the slow play that is going on, there also doesn't seem to be much table talk between the opponents. Most of the players left are young and seem to be concentrating thoroughly on making the right decisions.

ElkY Slips

Shamus

We picked this one up on the river. A decent-sized pot had already been built. The board read {K-Spades}

.

Edward Ochana bet 71,000, and Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier raised to 183,000. Ochana thought a moment, then made the call.

Ochana showed {K-Clubs}

-- the nut flush, though he'd been wary of that pair on board. Grospellier mucked.

Ochana is up to 640,000, while Grospellier is now down to 570,000.
