Not This Time Either

[user66118]

From mid-position, Dustin "Neverwin" Woolf opens with a raise to 17,000. Nancy Todd Tyner makes the call from late position.

The dealer spreads the flop: {4-Hearts}

Woolf checks, and Tyner makes a bet of 20,000, which is enough to take down the pot. She currently sits at 165,000 in chips.

Taft vs. Manole

[user66118]

Mihai Manole and Tim Taft got it all in preflop, Taft with {A-Spades}

and Manole with cowboys, {K-Hearts}

.

He got roped on the flop though, when it came {8-Diamonds}

. The turn and river, {9-Hearts}

,

failed to provide the two-out re-suck for Manole, and he sends a portion of his stack to the double-up fund for Tim Taft, who is still alive with 54,000.

Welcome Back, Theo

[user66118]

Look out players. Theo Tran just dragged a huge pot.

Though he was our overnight chip leader, Theo has had a difficult time getting anything going today, and was in the middle of the pack with 80,000 at the dinner break.

Now he has a bit more.

A player in a late position opened the pot with a raise, and Theo made the call. From the blind, Mark Calzadillas came over the top of both players, moving all in with a big stack. The initial raiser folded, but Tran made the call fairly quickly, showing down {K-Hearts}

. Calzadillas was in big trouble with {K-Clubs}

.

When the flop hit, he was already done for. It came {K-Spades}

, making a boat for Theo Tran and leaving Calzadillas drawing dead to a running chop. The turn and river ragged off, and Tran removed Calzadillas from his newfound stack of chips.

After the dust settled, Theo Tran regained the chip lead with a massive 343,000, while Calzadillas was sent off to wait in the cashier's line just behind the player he knocked out moments before.

His opponent showed {a-Hearts}

, way ahead on a flop of {7-Spades}

. The

came on the turn and Gill called out for a four-outer.

"King, one time," Gill said.

The river brought what Gill was looking for — the {k-Clubs}

.

"Sorry man," Gill said. "The fact you didn't shove made you seem really weak."

Gill is up to 290,000 and his opponent heads to the rail.

[user22113]

Scott Montgomery raised to 18,000 and JC Tran called from the big blind. The flop came {9-Hearts}

and Tran moved all in.

"This wasn't premeditated. I can still play with 46,000," said Tran of his at-risk chips.

Montgomery went into the tank before calling with {a-Clubs}

. Tran showed {10-Spades}

.

"I'm not going to stop and go with that," Tran said.

The turn and the river were no help to Montgomery and Tran is at 135,000. Montgomery is at 250,000.
