Proceed With Caution

Robert Cooper raised to 1,400 from early position, and Fokke Beukers reraised to 4,000 behind him. The table folded back around to Cooper, who made the call.

The flop came {Q-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{A-Spades}. Cooper checked and Beukers checked behind. The turn was the {4-Hearts}. Cooper tapped the felt. Beukers, staring intently at Cooper, also checked.

The river was the {3-Diamonds}. Cooper checked again. Beukers, nodding slightly, checked again as well. Cooper turned over {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts}, and Beukers showed {J-Clubs}{J-Spades} to take the pot.

Beukers is up to 113,000, while Cooper is down under 20,000.

"Only because it's Howard Lederer," said Richardson as he showed {A-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds}, although it might not be a good idea to show a pro your hole cards.

Gabel Turns Trash Into Treasure

Preflop, a late position player raised to 1,300 and Vincent Gabel called. Matt Matros then reraised to 5,500 from the small bllind. Only Gabel called the reraise.

On a flop of {10-Clubs} {5-Spades} {6-Hearts}, Matros bet 7,000 and Gabel called. On the turn of the {9-Spades}, Matros checked and Gabel moved all in for 4,000. Matros reluctantly called.

Gabe showed {8-Clubs} {7-Clubs} for the nut straight, while Matros showed {9-Clubs} {3-Diamonds} for only a pair of nines. The river of the {3-Clubs} was irrelevant and Gabel moved up to 34,000 after the hand.

Internet Runner Runner

Steve Morra has just eliminated a player. All the chips went in on a {A-Hearts} {7-Clubs} {6-Clubs} and Morra was holding {A-Clubs} {K-Spades} to his opponent, who had flopped a set with {7-Diamonds} {7-Spades}.

The turn {10-Clubs} changed the outlook somewhat and the river {J-Clubs} changed it a whole lot. Runner-runner flush for Morra to take the pot and bust his opponent.

Ted "The Milkman" Melikian was observing the hand and piped up "Internet hand! If I was on the internet, the computer would be out the window."

Oops.

It turns out that Humberto Brenes is NOT at the feature table, so if you plan on tuning into the episode where he battles Chris Moneymaker, you're going to be disappointed.
