Who Killed The Bear?

Adam "admo" Richardson is who.

It was folded around to Barry Greenstein in the small blind who shoved with {K-?} {8-?}. Richardson called from the big blind with {3-?} {3-?} and stayed ahead all the way.


Another player most likely out is Kevin MacPhee. He was short stacked and now his seat is being filled by another player.

Cry Me a River

That's the way these cards fall sometimes.
That's the way these cards fall sometimes.
Two interesting hands just went down. I was drawn to both by the "Oohs" and "Ahhs" coming from the respective tables.

The first situation saw two players get it all in on the flop with two spades. One player had a gutshot straight flush draw and the other the nut flush draw. They both made flushes on the river but I bet you can guess which player won the hand.

The second hand saw two players get it in with aces versus queens before the board came {K-?} {K-?} x {Q-?} {A-?}. The all in player thought he was safe when he spiked a queen on the turn but the re-suck two outer came on the river!

You got to love and hate this game.

Tom-KO-ed

Dewey Tomko has been knocked out after raising all-in with {Q-?} {9-?} on a {J-?} {10-?} X board, he was called by {Q-?} {Q-?} and couldn't improve on the turn or river.

Shannon Shorr-t, then out.

Shannon Shorr was down to his last 550 and put it all across the line when folded around to him in the cut off. He was called by a player with {A-?} {A-?} and knew just how bad a shape he was in with his {A-?} {2-?}. The board changed nothing and Shorr is gone.

Antonius Out

Maya Antonius
Maya Antonius
Maya Antonius has been eliminated after getting all-in with {K-Spades} {J-Clubs} and being called by {A-Spades} {Q-Hearts} with the board coming {4-?} {5-?} {7-?} {8-?} {9-?}.

Our field reporter is very sad about this.

Grinding...

WPT Grand Final winner Yevgeniy Timoshenko is not going too great so far, he's got just 2,400.

Soren Kongsgaard, playing his very US WSOP event, is doing a little better on around 4,000.

The Miranda room is busting players fairly quickly though, around one third from there have been eliminated.

Khan You Get More Unlucky?

Why does it always rain on me?
Why does it always rain on me?
Hevad Khan has just been busted in unfortunate circumstances. Short stacked, he got it all in with {Q-Hearts} {10-Hearts} against an opponent's {A-Spades} {9-Spades}.

So to be fair he was behind pre flop but when the flop comes {Q-?} {10-?} x you got to be pretty relaxed about a double-up. Not to be as the turn and river came {A-?} {9-?} to make a higher two pair across the table.
