Diamonds All Around

Adam Junglen made a raise from UTG and the button called before the flop came {Q-Diamonds}

. Junglen checked called a bet before the turn {3-Diamonds}

was checked through. The river {9-Diamonds}

was checked through before Junglen took the pot with {10-Diamonds}

to put his stack to 4,300. His opponent showed {A-Clubs}

.

A couple of minutes later on a nearby table there was a three way limped pot before the flop came {Q-Diamonds}

. It was checked to Lindgren on the button who bet 150. One player called before {7-Diamonds}

fell on the turn. It was checked through as was the {J-Diamonds}

river.

Lindgren revealed {3-Spades}

with a wry smile and then made a chopping motion after seeing the {K-Spades}

of his foe.

El Classico

MarcC

Tony Cousineau has just been eliminated in a classic race situation. When a player raised to 500 in front of him he pushed for 1,600 with {A-?}

. His opponent called with {Q-?}

before the board ran {10-?}

.

It was over by the turn and Consineau goes the way most will today.

Another One Bites the Dust

MarcC

Jeff Madsen saw a {10-?}

flop from the small blind. Nice flop if you're holding {10-?}

. Not so nice if the big blind is sitting there with {10-?}

for the flopped boat though.

Seat open.
