More Chips for Boyd

Ben Boyd was all in on fourth street versus John Monette after putting his last 35,000 chips into the pot on the turn.

The board ran {3-Diamonds} {Q-Spades} {9-Spades} {J-Spades} (X), and Boyd tabled {A-Clubs} {10-Clubs} {5-Spades} {2-Spades}. Monnette showed {A-Diamonds} {K-Spades} {10-Diamonds} {8-Hearts}. He was drawing dead when the money went in, and Boyd doubles up with his baby flush.

Daniel Quarters Scott

Daniel Negreanu raises preflop before Scott Clements three-bets. Negreanu calls to see {5-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} {10-Hearts} flop that's checked through to the {2-Diamonds} turn. Clements calls Negreanu's bet as he also does on the {9-Hearts} river.

Negranu's takes three quarters with {A-?} {K-?} {4-?} {4-?} over Clements' {A-?} {K-?} {7-?} {4-?}.

Oh Boyd! Another Chop

From middle position, Ben Boyd opened with a raise. Daniel Alaei called from the button, as did John Monette in the big blind.

The flop came {K-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} {6-Clubs}. Monette checked, Boyd bet, and both opponents called.

Fourth street was the {7-Spades}. Monette checked again, and Boyd bet all in for his last 15,000. Both opponents called the small bet, putting Boyd at risk.

On fifth street, the {A-Spades} fell, and Monette checked again. Alaei bet, and Monnette reluctantly folded.

Showdown
Alaei: {A-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} {4-Spades} {8-Spades}
Boyd: {A-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} {9-Clubs}

Alaei had the nut low for half of the pot, and Boyd's nine kicker played to make his pair of aces the winning high hand. Chop it up.

After the hand, a few of the players at the table were prodding Alaei about why he would be the river. It wasn't clear how he responded, but it was settled quickly, and it's on to the next hand.

All In Preflop

Greg Jamison and Tom Koral just got it all in preflop with Jamison holding {K-Diamonds} {K-Hearts} {10-Clubs} {9-Clubs} to Koral's {A-Spades} {J-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} {4-Spades}.

The board ran {10-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} {6-Clubs} {Q-Spades} {10-Spades} to see Jamison double up by scooping the pot.
