Talk About Betting With Air

Here's one from the "Ever Heard of This?" file.

A player limped in middle position, and Carter "ckingusc" King limped as well from the button. The small blind thought a while, then decided to fold. Then the big blind player did something unusual, but we'll get to that in a moment.

The flop came {5-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} and it checked around to King who bet 3,100. The player in the big blind then slowly slid out three stacks of yellow chips -- a check-raise to 15,000.

The dealer then politely slid them back to the player. "You don't have a hand," he explained. Apparently he had inadvertently mucked his hand rather than simply checking his option. The MP player folded, and the table had a good laugh, wondering whether or not he could've gotten the others to fold without cards.

King has about 99,000 at the moment.

Shak Out Shy of Money

On a flop of {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{10-Clubs}, Robert McLaughlin checked, Beth Shak checked, and Paul Spitzberg bet 8,000. McLaughlin folded, and Shak asked how many were left before the bubble burst. Two, came the reply. She called the bet, roughly half her stack.

The turn came the {7-Hearts}, Shak pushed all in, and Spitzberg called. Shak showed {10-Hearts}{6-Hearts} for the heart flush, and Spitzberg {A-Spades}{J-Clubs} for top two. The {J-Spades} came on the river, giving Spitzberg the boat and eliminating Shak just shy of the money.

Now we are playing hand for hand until the bubble bursts.

One Tough Cookie

Nikolay Evdakov just ordered a cup of chamomile tea (with lemon) to go along with the huge macadamia nut cookie he brought back from the break.

In one of the first hands back from the break, Evdakov raised to 8,000 from under the gun, and each of the players around the table decided against tangling with the Russian. He's now up around 100,000.

Unlucky Sevens for Childs

With the board showing {J-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}, Dustin Pattinson had pushed all in and Lee Childs had a tough decision, as calling would mean committing the last of his chips.

Childs ultimately made the call, showing {7-Spades}{7-Diamonds}. Pattinson showed {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}, and Childs was in dire straits. The river was the {Q-Diamonds}, and Childs goes out here on the cash bubble. Patterson now has 165,000.

We're currently four eliminations away from the money.
