(Red) Baron Downed

[user76023]

Isaac Baron has just been knocked out after he raised preflop to 375 and found the big blind calling.

The flop was {K-Diamonds}

and Baron saw his 500 bet check-called. Both players checked the {7-Diamonds}

turn before the big blind checked the {A-Diamonds}

river. Baron moved all-in for 1,400 and was quickly called by the big blind's {Q-Spades}

.

The online superstar quickly mucked and headed for the rail. Probably to go and play all the online tournaments tonight...

There was a multi-way limped pot before Erick Lindgren raised to 900 from the button. The big blind flatted before an early position limper reraised all in. Lindgren made the call but the BB folded.

Lindgren was in bad shape with {Q-?}

versus

and his exit was confirmed moments later. The BB player wasn't too happy with the isolating shove as he said he would've taken the lot.

Another player out is Marcel Luske.

in the deck.

Negreanu Suffers Hit

[user76023]

Daniel Negreanu's drop to 3,000 was all due to a short stack pushing over the top of his raise with {Q-Spades}

. The short stack held {K-Spades}

and spiked on a {A-Diamonds}

board.

Cultivating Table Image

MarcC

Players normally cultivate their table image by the amount of raising they're doing or not as the case may be. You normally don't get away with things at the table just by announcing you're a tight player.

"I rarely bluff these days as people tend to call you too much" declares Kathy Liebert to a table mate.

Then there was a raise from the cut off before Liebert three bet from the small blind forcing a fold. Obviously all Liebert has to do is talk about her image for it to work to her advantage!
