Jacked Up

[user76023]

Jack Powell moved up to about 280,000 after a short stack pushed preflop and another stack moved in behind. Powell moved in with {J-?}

, admitting afterwards, "I didn't really want to call."

He was up against {A-?}

and probably felt quite relieved when he flopped quads!

After he told me this story, he raised the next hand from the cutoff to 18,000, only for the cutoff to push for an additional 35,000.

Powell made the call with {Q-Clubs}

and saw he was against a dominating {A-Clubs}

. The board came {Q-Diamonds}

and Powell was knocked down to 240,000.

Biggest Pot of the Tournament Induces Poker Coma

MarcC

Adam White was sitting on 9,000 a little over an hour ago; he now sits on a staggering 681,000 chips!

At the start of this hand he had 331,000 and raised it to 15,000 from mid position. Dung Ho, in the small blind, three bet to 45,000. White then four bet it to 145,000, and Ho moved all in. White snap-called with {A-?}

. Ho was in deep trouble with {A-?}

.

The board came {8-Diamonds}

. The stacks were so big a floor person had to come over to count them down. It took over five minutes to do this, and all that while Ho sat there in shock with his mouth open. Eric Mizrachi commented that he was in a "poker coma".

After the count, he was left with 60,000 chips but soon got them in with ace-ten only to be busted by a player who call with pocket sevens.

Mizrachi Doubles

[user76023]

Eric Mizrachi has doubled up from micro-stack to short stack, he's on 50,000 after pushing blind and finding he actually held {A-?}

but was called by {A-?}

No matter, a {7-?}

on the flop helped him out. It's an easy game.

Four Way Action

MarcC

Jeroen Van Dam raised from mid position before a player in the high-jack moved in for 60,500. John Boyrazian then called, as did a player on the button for his last 24,500, and Van Dam came along for the ride for the last of his chips.

The board ran {5-Clubs}
