Math's Right, Still Don't Want to Call

MarcC

Michael Binger raised it up from the high-jack to 2,200 before the cut-off player moved in for 6,700. It was folded back around to Binger who seemed to know he was behind, had the right price to call just didn't want to. After battling internally he made the call with {9-Hearts}

and saw he was up against {A-Diamonds}

.

The board ran {K-Hearts}

to send the pot the other way and leave Binger with just 9,500.

You Get Lucky Kid?

MarcC

It was folded around to the cutoff who made it 2,500 to go. Tony Cousineau was the only caller from the button before they saw a {A-Hearts}

flop. The CO check called a 3,000 bet from Cousineau before they went to the {4-Diamonds}

turn. This was checked to before the CO led out for 4,500 bet.

"Why do I feel like my ace-queen was good on the turn, you might have got lucky" said Cousineau before calling with {A-Clubs}

to claim the pot and move to 45,000.

and was called by Tiffany Michelle with {Q-Clubs}

Huge Pot

MarcC

I approached the table with cards already on their backs with a three-way all in. Daniel Makowsky tabled {A-Hearts}

with his two opponents amazingly holding {K-?}

and

respectively.

The board ran {6-Hearts}

. The aces hold and Makowsky up to 74,000 leaving one opponent out and the other crippled.

Almost Feld-man

MarcC

Peter Feldman was UTG and pushed his entire 15,000 stack over the line. A player in late position looked him up with {8-Diamonds}

and saw it was a race as Feldman opened {K-Diamonds}

.

The board ran {J-Hearts}

. Runner runner broadway good for a Feldman double up.
