Fish in Deep Water

Darryll Fish lost himself a massive coinflip and is consequently down to 81,000 just as players prepare to head off for dinner.

He raised to 6,400 in early position with {A-Diamonds} {Q-Spades} and it folded around to the big blind who made it 24,000. Fish made it 65,000 and the big blind thought about it for a while before moving all in. A call from Fish, and he was flipping against his all-in opponent's {J-Clubs} {J-Spades}.

Board: a spike-less {4-Clubs} {3-Hearts} {5-Spades} {5-Diamonds} {10-Spades}

Bang! Jeff Flops a Flush

Jeff "mrrain" Banghart has been largely hovering around his 27,900 starting stack today, but is now up to 52,000 after a hairy double up.

He got it in preflop with {A-Hearts} {9-Hearts} against {Q-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} and out came the jack on the {6-Hearts} {J-Hearts} {3-Hearts} flop -- but the flush was there too, nothing changed on the {3-Spades} turn or {9-Spades} river, and up he doubles.

Rotten to the Cory

Carroll - smacked into quads
Carroll - smacked into quads
Cory Carroll, one of yesterday's big stacks, is down to 75,000. After losing a big pot earlier on with pocket tens, he called a short stack's preflop push holding pocket {8-Spades} {8-Diamonds} and must have been pleased to see the short stack turn over {A-Hearts} {5-Hearts}, but Carroll was promptly smacked in the face by the {3-Clubs} {A-Diamonds} {9-Spades} {K-Spades} {5-Spades} board, and was down to below average chips.

A few hands later and Carroll raised to 7,200 in early position and Dean Hamrick called to see a {K-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} {7-Clubs} flop. Hamrick called an 8,600 bet from Carroll and indeed called 17,000 from Carroll on the {7-Hearts} turn. Come the {J-Spades} river Carroll moved in and Hamrick called that too -- fair enough, seeing as he was holding {7-Spades} {7-Diamonds} for quads. Carroll's {K-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} had been behind all the way, and out he went, while Hamrick was up to 275,000.

Kikh-ing Down the Competition

Aliaksandr Yalouskikh is up to 200,000 after tangling with another player on a {6-Hearts} {9-Spades} {6-Diamonds} {K-Spades} board. The other player bet out 16,200 and then called all in for 40,000 total to a push from big stack Yalouskikh. Yalouskikh turned over {A-Spades} {Q-Spades} and the short stack flipped a decidedly behind but still live {J-Spades} {10-Spades}; the river, though, was the {A-Hearts} sending the short stack to the rail.

[Removed:293]'s Banking

Stuart [Removed:293]'s steady climb in the chips counts is continuing. He just took a pot of the SB whilst sitting in the BB. He flatted a 6,000 bet on a {K-?} {2-?} {10-?} board before raising all in when faced with a 13,000 bet on the {4-Hearts} turn. Sitting on a very healthy 175,000 right now.

Derby Double

Marty Derbyshire
Marty Derbyshire
Fellow poker journo Marty Derbyshire has just doubled up through Cory Carroll. Pretty standard as Derbyshire got it all in preflop with {A-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds} versus Carroll's {8-Clubs} {8-Spades}. The board came {A-Hearts} {3-Diamonds} {5-Spades} {9-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds}. Good job for Derbyshire it was the {8-Diamonds} diamonds that fell to put him up to 42,000. Carroll down again to 96,000.

Sebok Doubles Again

Joe Sebok, hovering on a fairly lacklustre 20,000 or so for some time, has doubled up to 40,000. He pushed for his last to a 4,900 raise, got the inevitable call, and his {A-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} stayed ahead of his opponent's {A-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} all the way down the {10-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} {2-Clubs} {4-Clubs} {7-Spades} board.
