Knave Suffers Against Knaves

Dave 'LeKnave' Jones is down to just 30,000. On the previous hand he had reraised all-in for 46,200 on top of an initial 7,500 raise.

The player from that hand later raised to that same amount, and again Jones pushed, this time with {8-?} {8-?}. A short stack shoved behind with {J-?} {J-?} and the original raiser came along with {A-?} {K-?}. The board completely bricked and the jacks tripled up while Jones dropped to 30,000, having only won the side pot.

No Chore for Chhor

Huge pot for Eric Chhor. He limped UTG and was followed by several limpers with the small blind calling and the big blind, Cuu Hoang, checking.

The flop was {8-Clubs} {4-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} and the short-stacked small blind immediately moved all-in. Cuu Hoang pushed behind. Chhor moved in also and the rest of the limpers folded with the big blind calling.

Small blind: {Q-?} {8-?}
Big Blind: {8-Spades} {2-Clubs}
Chhor: {4-Diamonds} {4-Spades}

The turn was {3-Diamonds} and the river {Q-Spades}. The small blind was eliminated and Chhor doubled through the big blind; he's up to about 250,000 now.

JC: 99 Problems but His Chips Ain't One

JC Tran is gradually recovering after losing a big pot to Zach Melaney earlier.

He had fired on the turn and river of a {K-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} {J-Clubs} board, but Melaney had called him with {3-Hearts} {3-Clubs}, which was good.

Tran recouped some chips though, 4-betting Melaney the next hand and then picking off a river bluff with {K-Spades} {J-Spades} against {A-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} on a {4-Diamonds} {8-Spades} {K-Hearts} {K-Diamonds} {3-Spades} board.

He's on about 165,000 now.

Sick Way to Exit

An UTG player raised to 10,000 before his neighbor moved in for 61,000. Two seats along Chandrasekhar Billavara flat called as did the UTG player. The flop came {4-Diamonds} {K-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} where both players checked before they did the same on {4-Hearts} turn. When the river came down {K-Clubs} Billavara bet when checked to him forcing the UTG player to fold.

The all in player thought he was good when he revealed {6-Spades} {6-Clubs} but Billavara filled a bigger boat on the river with {A-Hearts} {K-Spades} to take the huge pot and knock out the other player. Billavara up to 395,000 now.

Baker Has the Dough

No Half-Baked Ideas Here.
No Half-Baked Ideas Here.
After running into a straight flush earlier that left her with just 10,000 chips at 800/1,600, Amanda Baker has managed to turn that stack back into something much better. She's just eliminated two players in quick succession, first with {A-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} against {Q-Clubs} {3-Clubs} on a {J-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} {2-Hearts} {A-Clubs} X board.

Soon after, she called a 37,000 shove on a {10-?} {10-?} {5-?} board with {6-Clubs} {6-Hearts} and was up against {K-Clubs} {Q-Hearts}, which failed to hit on the {10-?} turn or {4-?} river.

Baker is now on 150,000.
