River Kind to Harris

Shamus

In a hand from the end of the previous level, Douglas Morgan raised from under the gun, and got three callers -- the button, and both blinds. The flop came {10-Clubs}

. Morgan continued with a bet, and only Nikki Harris stuck around from the big blind.

The turn was the {5-Clubs}

. Harris checked, Morgan bet, and Harris called. The river was the {A-Diamonds}

, and both checked. Harris turned over {A-Hearts}

for aces, and Morgan tabled {J-Hearts}

for the lesser pair.

Morgan now has about 16,000, while Harris is at 32,000.

Bonomo Bounces Burnette

Shamus

After some preflop action left Justin Bonomo and Charles Burnette heads up, both players contributed five bets after a {5-Spades}

flop. Burnette got his last 1,200 in on the {6-Diamonds}

turn, and turned over {10-Hearts}

-- well behind Bonomo's {K-Hearts}

.

The river was the {4-Hearts}

, and Burnette is out. Bonomo is now up to 59,000.

Four-Way Pile-Up at Table #241

Shamus

David Rood raised from under the gun, and Albert Minnullin, sitting to his left, called with his last chips. Bryan Devonshire then raised from the hijack seat. Bobby Altman called the raise from the big blind, Rood three-bet, Devonshire four-bet, Altman called again -- putting him all in -- and Rood called as well.

So that's two players all in, and Devonshire and Rood still with chips when the flop came {7-Clubs}

. Rood checked, Devonshire bet, and Rood called. The turn was the {5-Diamonds}

, and this time Rood decided to fold to Devo's bet.

Altman showed {K-Clubs}

, Minnullin {K-Spades}

, and Devonshire {9-Diamonds}

. The river was the {J-Spades}

. Altman won the main pot, and Devonshire the small side pot.

Minnullin is out, Rood has 35,000, Devonshire 33,500, and Altman 20,000.

Great Minds Think Alike

Shamus

Another kind of humorous hand at Table #241 for you. The table had folded to Soheil Shamseddin on the button, and when he made his raise both Bryan Devonshire in the small blind and Zelong Dong in the big blind almost simultaneously fired out three-bets. Dong hadn't realized Devo wasn't folding, and ended up just calling the reraise, as did Shamseddin.

All three checked down the {Q-Hearts}

board. Devonshire showed {A-Clubs}

, Dong

, and Shamseddin mucked.

Devonshire and Dong split the pot, and as the dealer divided the chips they shared a high-five and a laugh.

Spilling Spades

Shamus

We're watching the other tables, too, but here's kind of a strange one, again from Bryan Devonshire's table.

Devonshire raised from early position, and Noah Boeken called from the small blind. As the dealer was readying to deal the flop, three cards slipped from the bottom of the deck and were exposed -- the {A-Spades}

. It was confirmed the cards had come from the bottom of the deck, and the hand continued with both players aware of what cards couldn't be dealt. (Hate to have had spades there, eh? Or an ace, for that matter.)

The flop came {8-Diamonds}

. Boeken bet, Devonshire raised, and Boeken called. The turn was the {J-Hearts}

, and this time Boeken check-called Devonshire's bet. The river was the {3-Diamonds}

, and again Boeken check-called.

Devonshire turned over {8-Clubs}

for the flopped set, and Boeken mucked. Devonshire has 42,000 now, and Boeken 41,500.

Darden Darting Up Leaderboard

Shamus

Paul Darden raised from middle position, and it folded back around to the big blind who made the call. The flop came {A-Clubs}

. The player in the big blind checked, Darden bet, and his opponent folded.

Darden has one of the bigger stacks in the room, up to about 75,000 at the moment.
