Easy Game Sometimes

MarcC

Sometimes you're opponents do all the hard work for you and are only too willing to donate to the cause. A recipient of such a cause is Nick Binger.

He raised from the cut off to 150 was called by the button before the big blind three bet to 550. Only Binger called before the flop came {3-Spades}

. The BB led out for 1,200 and after a pause Binger went all in for 1,675 more.

The BB got out of his chair and asked Binger "Are you bluffing me?" and then called with {K-Hearts}

!! Binger tabled {K-Clubs}

that held up to take the pot.

Binger sits on around 8,000 whereas his opponent was left crippled and busted moments later.

Micon Has Good Start

[user76023]

After a middle position raise to 200, Bryan Micon reraised to 350 and was called.

The flop came {4-Spades}

and the original raiser check/called Micon's 275 bet for leading out for 575 on the {9-Spades}

turn. Micon made the call and then called another 900 on the {4-Clubs}

river. Middle position showed {A-?}

-x but lost out to Micon's {10-Hearts}

, the latter now on about 5,000.

You Win-ston, You Lose Some

[user76023]

Roy Winston is another early, pre-break casualty, again the exit too quick for us to catch.

Not That Rocky...

[user76023]

Eric Mizrachi raised to 100 from late position and the big blind made the call. The flop was {Q-Spades}

and Mizrachi saw his 100 bet min-raised to 200 which he called. The was the {A-Hearts}

and the big blind checked again, Mizrachi bet 300 and the big blind folded, Mizrachi showing {8-?}

and saying, "I gotta try it one time!"

Lost, but Finding His Way Again

MarcC

Thor Hansen wondered into the Brasilia room a while back looking for his table only to realize he'd walked back into the wrong room.

On the last hand before the break he moved all-in for his last 450 with {7-Clubs}

probably hoping to pick up the blinds with players distracted by the need to go on break. One player woke up with {A-Spades}
