Full Tilting

Two Full Tilt Pros have just made for the exit. John Juanda got it all in with {A-Hearts} {J-Clubs} versus an opponent's {A-Spades} {5-Spades} but a {5-?} on the flop was enough to end this one for JJ.

Next out was Gavin Smith. Holding {10-?} {10-?} versus an opponent's {A-?} {Q-?} he made a mistimed raise all in on a queen high board. He was called and busted.

Fricke-ing Good Call

A raise from Jimmy 'Gobboboy' Fricke on the button is called by the big blind. Fricke bets 600 on the {6-Spades} {Q-Spades} {2-Spades} flop which the big blind check-calls. The turn is the {7-Hearts} and both players check.

On the {3-Diamonds} river the big blind pushes for 3,000 and Fricke makes the call after thinking for about 2 minutes with {K-Clubs} {7-Clubs}. The big blind mucks and Gobboboy is up to around 12,000.

JC Tran-pling Over Table

JC Tran has amassed the big stack at his table and is using it to great effect, piling pressure on opponents.

In one recent hand he three bet an early position raiser from the small blind. The call was made but before the flop had come down Tran had put his opponent all in. The flop showed {J-Hearts} {J-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} and the call all-in was made with {K-Diamonds} {Q-Spades}.

Tran flipped up {A-Hearts} {Q-Clubs}. The turn came {K-Hearts} to give Tran Broadway but then he called for an ace on the river so they could chop. If you ask you shall receive as {A-Clubs} fell on the river to chop it.

Rios Runs Riot.

Jesse Rios, who has cracked Aces three times today looks to be one, if not the, chip leader. He's on 23,000 which must be one of the biggest stacks around.
