Kings for Von Halle

Jan von Halle bet in position on a {2-Clubs} {5-Spades} {7-Spades} flop and then called the check-raise from his opponent.

He bet to another check on the {4-Spades} turn, and once more on the {9-Spades} river. His opponent finally folded on the river, and von Halle showed him pocket kings for his trouble while he raked in the sizable pot.

Dragan Breathing Fire

Lurking outside the Poker Kitchen at the break, Dragan Galic was very frustrated. Turns out there was a raise preflop and Galic reraised with pocket aces; a third player called.

Galic bet out on the raggy flop and the initial raiser folded, but the third player called. A king came on the turn and a ten on the river -- and Galic's opponent flipped over {K-?} {10-?}. "This is the last limit event I play in the US," sighed Galic.

Going, Gavin, Gone

Smith - not so cheery
Smith - not so cheery
Gavin Smith had somehow dropped down to, er, 250 chips. So he did the decent thing and called all in to a raise in a five-way pot, but come the river of the {2-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} {K-Hearts} {6-Hearts} {K-Spades} he couldn't beat the winner's {A-Hearts} {K-Clubs}; he mucked, and he departed.

J.J. Liu-ses a Pot

J.J. Liu raised her button and got called by the big blind as well as two limpers in mid position and the cutoff respectively.

She raised to a bet from the cutoff on the {A-Spades} {6-Clubs} {3-Spades} flop and it was just the two of them who made it to the {J-Hearts} turn and {Q-Hearts} river; they both just checked. Liu turned over {A-Clubs} {K-Clubs} and lost the pot to her opponent's {3-Clubs} {3-Diamonds} but never fear, J.J. fans! Even after losing that pot, she's up to an excellent 10,300.

Elizabeth Doubles; Remains Short

A gentleman raised, and it folded around to severely short-stacked Shannon Elizabeth in the small blind, who reraised. Her opponent called the reraise, and furthermore called her bets on every street until she was all in for 75 on the river of the {4-Spades} {10-Spades} {K-Spades} {10-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} board; he called that too, but had clearly underestimated the strength of Ms Elizabeth's hand, and he just mucked when she flipped over {A-Spades} {K-Hearts}.

She doubles up to a still precarious 2,000.
