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.

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.

Battle of the Aces

MarcC

Dustin Dirksen moved all in for his last 6,900 from UTG before a player in MP moved all in as well. If that wasn't enough a player in LP position shoved too. "See how much they want my blind" shouted the player in the BB "What can I do with ten-duece?"

DD -- {A-Spades}

MP --

LP --

With all the cards on their back the board came {4-Clubs}

to see the LP scoop the lot and eliminate two players. The BB was quick to point out he would've made a straight and busted the lot of them.

Joke Fail - Seat One

MarcC

Jay Boyes opens from MP before BB three-bets, Boyes four-bets, BB shoves and Boyes calls.

BB -- {K-?}

Boyes --

The board ran {J-Clubs}

. A set on the flop looked good for the BB before Boyes hit runner-runner straight to double to 40,000 and left his opponent crippled.

A player in seat one then opened his mouth and joked " Why do we even play this game? Oh yeah, because sometimes you hit a ten!"

No one else at the table seemed to find this mistimed joke funny.

Tilt Shove?

MarcC

Not visible Tilt Shove?

Jeff Williams made it 2,600 to go from LP before a player in the SB shoved for 10,000. Williams made the call with {10-Clubs}

and was in good shape against the SB's {J-Hearts}

.

The board ran {2-Spades}

to bust the SB and put Williams up to 56,500.

It must be noted that the SB looked very tilted by something leading up to his exit. Not sure what caused it but he might regret letting it affect his game in the morning.
