Friedberg Fried

[user80015]

Catching the action with the board reading {4-Diamonds}

, Jon Friedberg lead out for 3,800 only to be put all in by his opponent.

Friedberg made the call and tabled his {J-Clubs}

for flopped trips, however it would be his opponent's {Q-Diamonds}

which had a kicker that was inches ahead.

The river would see the {7-Clubs}

land and Friedberg sent to the rail.

Bowker Busts Opponent

[user80015]

We caught the action on the river with the board reading {A-Clubs}

to find Kyle 'kwob20' Bowker faced with a 2,000-chip bet.

Bowker decided that a 10,000-chip raise was in order to effectively put his opponent all in.

His opponent obliged tabling {9-Hearts}

for two-pair, however it would be Bowker's {6-Clubs}

for a rivered straight to take down the pot and climb to 27,600 in chips as his opponent called it a night.

Chicotsky Crumbles Then Rebuilds

[user80015]

Chicotsky crippled, but doesn't give up hope

David 'The Maven' Chicotsky opened the pot to 1,050 from early position, before being raised to 2,875 from an opponent in the hi-jack.

With the action back on Chicotsky he reraised to 5,075, only to have his opponent fire again; pushing for all his chips.

Chicotsky made the call for 19,225 total and the cards were tabled.

Chicotsky: {9-Hearts}

Opponent:

The board would run out {K-Spades}

to see Chicotsky crippled to 900.

A few hands later he would double, and then another double to see him sit with 5,400 after his {J-Clubs}

made trips against an opponent's {K-Clubs}

.

No More Chopping for Chainsaw

[user80015]

A short-stacked Allen Kessler pushed his last 4,000 into the pot and found some action from an opponent in late position.

Kessler: {K-Clubs}

Opponent:

"Queen," shouted Kessler - his wish would be granted when the flop fell down {Q-Diamonds}

.

"I knew it," sparked Kesser again before the {A-Hearts}

could land on the turn. When the {9-Diamonds}

peeled on the river, Kessler headed to the rail.

"Oh, I even turned a flush-draw," quipped Kessler as he quickly made his way off the tournament floor.

THAY3R Back . . . to Starting Stack (Nearly)

[user80015]

We have finally found Thayer 'THAY3R' Rasmussen and unfortunately he had only 100 chips in front of him.

Why? The previous hand, three players flopped a flush - ace-high, Rasmussen's king-high and a queen-high one.

However, Rasmussen would more then triple the following hand to 840 when his {A-Hearts}

cracked both {k-Clubs}

and

after he rivered an ace.

Two hands later, Rasmussen would push his stack up to 3,000 when his {A-Clubs}

bested

and

Nyberg Can't Crack Rockets

[user80015]

We quickly ran over to table 45 to find three people all in. First, a short-stack had pushed all in from under the gun. That was followed by Dean 'dinhjo' Nyberg isolating for his 30,000-chip stack, which was then followed by an even shorter stack on the button also pushing all in.

Under The Gun: {Q-Hearts}
