Tino Whiffs

Preflop, a player goes all in and another one calls. Tino Lechich also calls.

The flop is {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{10-Hearts} and both players check. The turn is {Q-Clubs} and Lechich's opponent goes all in on the side for 38,000. Lechich calls again.

P1 (first all in): {K-Hearts}{Q-Spades}
P2 (second all in): {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}
Lechich: {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}

Tino doesn't make his draw on a river of {3-Diamonds}, Player 2 takes the whole pot and Lechich is down to 240,000.

Sorry Guys

A player in middle position called before Jeff Madsen raised up to 6,400 from the cutoff. A player in the small blind then moved all in for 10,000 before the original limper also moved all in for 25,000. Madsen apologized to his two opponents as he called with {6-Spades} {5-Spades}. He was up against the small blind's {K-Spades} {Q-Diamonds} and middle-position player's {A-Diamonds} {K-Hearts}.

The board came {10-Clubs} {4-Spades} {2-Hearts} {3-Spades} {J-Spades}. First Madsen hit a straight and then a flush to rub it in as he eliminates two players on his way to 200.000.

Hansen held {5-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} and his opponent held {K-Hearts} {9-Hearts}.

Howzat

Anahit Galajian moved all in from the cutoff after it was folded around to her. Shane Warne called from the button before Steven Landfish reraised enough to put Warne all in. Warne made the call so we had a three-way showdown.

Galajian: {J-Hearts} {9-Hearts}
Warne: {10-Diamonds} {10-Spades}
Landfish: {A-Spades} {K-Clubs}

The board ran {A-Clubs} {Q-Spades} {3-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} {8-Spades}. The ace was enough to give us a double-knockout including Cricket legend, Shane Warne.

Landfish up to 366,000.
