Gowen Down

Clonie Gowen got her very last in preflop with {A-Diamonds} {4-Spades} {2-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} and found herself in pretty poor shape up against {A-Spades} {9-Clubs} {2-Clubs} {J-Diamonds}.

Nevertheless, board: {Q-Hearts} {5-Spades} {4-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds}

Gowen took three quarters of the pot to stay in on 2,800. "I just won't die," she announced, "I've been trying to kill myself..."

But not long after and her wish came true. She got it in preflop with {3-Spades} {3-Clubs} {A-Diamonds} {7-Spades} and this time was up against {6-Clubs} {5-Clubs} {8-Hearts} {9-Diamonds}.

Board: {2-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} {4-Clubs}

Out she goes.

Burgoine Stack Burgeoning

I arrived just at the end of the hand to see Matt Burgoine all in and called, and the whole board out.

Burgoine: {A-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} {8-Spades} {2-Spades}
Opponent: {A-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} {K-Clubs} {3-Diamonds}

Board: {Q-Spades} {5-Diamonds} {3-Spades} {K-Diamonds} {7-Spades}

Burgoine took three quarters to put him up to 5,500.

Go All In With Jesus

Chris Ferguson managed to get his last chips in on the turn of a {J-Hearts} {3-Diamonds} {10-Hearts} {7-Clubs} board -- but he and his opponent chopped it, and there's not much change to his 2,000 microstack.

Ferguson: {10-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} {5-Hearts} {K-Hearts}
Ms. Opponent: {K-Clubs} {K-Diamonds} {Q-Spades} {10-Clubs}

River: {A-Clubs}

Burgoine Burgeoned, But Buckled

Matthew Burgoine is down to 7,000 after calling a bet on the {7-Spades} {K-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds} flop, checking behind on the {K-Hearts} turn and then calling another bet on the {2-Hearts} river. His opponent showed {A-Hearts} {J-Spades} {Q-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} for a full house, Burgoine mucked, and that was the end of it.
