Schultz Leaves Raymer with Peanuts

[user76023]

Greg Raymer raises the button to 550 and Andy Schultz makes it 1,700 from the small blind, having regularly been reraising Raymer.

Raymer moves all-in for 13,000 and Schultz quickly calls with {Q-Clubs}

which is ahead of Raymer's {A-Diamonds}

. A board of {6-Spades}

causes the former World Champion to say, "I guess I picked the wrong one to move in on."

He signs a fossil for his opponent and hits the rail.

Sub-Stituted

[user76023]

Jeff 'Yellowsub' Williams has been busted from the tournament. He raised 600 from a stack of 1,900 in the cutoff and called all-in against the small blind only to find his {K-?}

dominated by {A-?}

and unable to hit a thing on the {Q-Diamonds}

board.

Four-Tunate

[user76023]

Michael Martin raises to 550 from early position and gets called by the small blind and James Sudworth in the big blind.

The flop is {K-Hearts}

and it's checked to Martin who bets 875. The small blind calls and Sudworth folds. The turn is the {4-Hearts}

and this time the small blind check-calls a bet of 1,700. On the {A-Clubs}

river, the small blind check-calls a third bet of 4,300 only to be shown {4-Diamonds}

by the EPT London winner.

ZOMG Hax!

[user76023]

Isaac Haxton has doubled up to almost 8,000 after he raised the button and the big blind set him in.

Haxton made the call with {A-Hearts}

against the big blind's {K-Clubs}

and held on a {7-Spades}

board.
