Isaac Baron Wins a Side Pot and Loses Chips

We picked this up as three players, including Isaac Baron, got all in on a flop of {3-Spades}{8-Clubs}{10-Clubs}.

EP: {7-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Baron: {Q-Spades}{J-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}
BB: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{3-Clubs}

When the board finished {6-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}, the early position player made his straight, but lost to Baron's full house of eightss and threes and the opponent's house of tenss and threes. Baron's hand was good enough for the side pot, which left him just 3,300.

A Full House for Ivey

We caught this hand on the river as Phil Ivey moved all in for 9,275 on a board of {A-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{A-Hearts}. When he was called by the big blind, the hands were shown.

Ivey: {A-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}
Opponent: {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{Q-Spades}

Three of a kind wasn't enough to sink Ivey's boat, and he now has 31,000.

Sammy Farha Goes Broke

Sammy Farha moved all in on a flop of {J-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{7-Clubs} and got called by his opponent.

Farha showed {7-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} and needed a lot of help against his opponent's {J-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{A-Spades}{10-Clubs}. It didn't come as the board ended with the {3-Diamonds} and {K-Clubs}, sending Farha to the rail.

Juanda Eliminates Giang

John Juanda
John Juanda
John Juanda raised to 400 from early position and got called by the cutoff before Chau Giang min-raised all in for a total of 800.

Three players went to the flop of {8-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} which got checked, as did the {A-Clubs} on the turn. Juanda bet 1,500 at the {7-Hearts} on the river, forcing the cutoff to fold. When Giang turned over his hand, he showed {Q-Spades}{4-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{K-Spades} for nothing more than a pair of eightss while Juanda showed {7-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{8-Spades} for a set.

Juanda now has 13,500.
