Another Van Crashes

[user76023]

James Van Alstyne had raised preflop and Amnon Filippi called out of the blinds.

The flop was {9-Spades}

and Filippi check/raised for pot to 7,600 and Van Alstyne sighed and put his chips in the middle with {A-?}

. He was in good shape against Filippi's {5-Clubs}

.

Filippi had to catch an ace or three for a scoop and Van Alstyne didn't need to improve with second pair.

The turn was a {9-?}

, but the river was a {3-?}

and Filippi made a full house to knock out the HORSE runner-up from yesterday.

Danzer Takes One From Boatman

[user76023]

On the turn of a {5-Spades}

board, Barney Boatman bets 1,000 and George Danzer raises to 2,800 with the Hendon Mobster quickly calling.

The river is the {3-Diamonds}

and Boatman checks, Danzer quickly bets 7,500 and like every England/Germany soccer match, the German wins.

(Although at least this time we didn't lose on penalties)
