The Maven On the Up

MarcC

A player in mid position raised it up and found both blinds calling including David Chicotsky in the SB. The flop came {10-Hearts}

and was bet by the MP player before Chicotsky moved all in. The big blind player then surprisingly called but the MP player folded.

Chicotsky tabled {K-Diamonds}

to the BB's {A-Spades}

. The turn came {5-Spades}

and river

to confirm Chicotsky as the winner and the owner of a 90,000 stack.

Man from Down Under Goes Under

[user46392]

Australian online pro Stephen Leonard is bust. He was all in on the river of a {6-?}

board and his opponent turned over {4-?}

for the nuts; Leonard mucked. The dealer tried to make him show his hand on the grounds that he was all in and all-in players have to show their cards, but Leonard threw his hand into the muck and a discussion began among the other players at the table over whether he should have had to show while Leonard was waiting for the floorman with his payout slip. Either way, he didn't and he's out.
