Rizen up the Counts

Eric "Rizen" Lynch is up to 9,000 after an opponent gifted his stack to him. Lynch raised from UTG and this unnamed opponent called from the cut-off.

The flop came {8-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} and when Lynch led out for 8,00 his opponent moved all in for 4,300. Lynch made the call with {10-Hearts} {10-Clubs} and was ahead of his opponent's {A-Hearts} {K-Diamonds}. The turn came {Q-Clubs} and river {5-Clubs} to give the pot to Lynch.

Brit Blocking

Andrew "tufat" Teng was involved in a blind battle with the turn out by time we caught up to it giving us a {3-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} {4-Hearts} {A-Spades} board. His 300 bet from the SB was bumped up to 1,000 by the BB. Teng called and then led out for just 150 on the {A-Clubs} river. The bet seemed to confuse the BB who sat there trying to work it out but eventually called. Teng tabled {J-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} which was good for the pot as the BB mucked.

Talking Math

David Chicotsky is sitting next to Bill Chen and they seemed to be in deep conversation over some poker situation, inevitably there was a heavy math slant to the discussion. Chicotsky is on 8,850 to Chen's 7,900.

One Devil Down

It looks as though Dave "Devilfish" Ulliott is out. He was last seen telling bad beat stories to Marcel Luske in the corridor.

Gowen All In

Stephen "allinstevie" Devlin made it 550 to go from MP and was called by the button and Clonie Gowen in the BB. The flop came down {8-?} {10-?} {3-?} before Devlin continued his aggression with a 900 bet that only Gowen called. The turn came {4-?} before Gowen check-called Devlin's 1,800 bet.

When the river came {6-?}, Gowen moved all in for her last 3,000. Devlin made the call and was shown {9-?} {9-?}. He tabled {A-?} {10-?} to eliminate Gowen and scoop the pot.
