Still Not Johnny

[user22113]

After one limper, Terrence 'Not Johnny' Chan raised to 350. The rest of the table folded back round to the original limper who made the call.

They both checked the flop of {5-Clubs}

to see the limper then bet pot of 850 when the {7-Clubs}

fell on the turn. Chan reluctantly put in his last 950 chips with his opponent calling.

Chan: {A-Diamonds}

Opponent:

The river landed the {7-Spades}

, and after starring blankly at the board for a few moments, Chan was pushed the pot with his Ace-Queen high to see him double to 2,550.

Raymond Almost Royalty

[user22113]

After the flop of {6-Clubs}

, Raymond Davis went all in for his last 1,450 in chips and was called by one opponent.

Davis showed {Q-Diamonds}

for top pair as well a double-gutshot straight and straight flush draw to be drawing very live against his opponents {A-Diamonds}

.

The turn was a {2-Clubs}

and Davis would need some help on the river, and when the {J-Spades}

fell on the river, Davis would make a King-high straight flush to double to 4,650 in chips.

The flop of {Q-Diamonds}

all but sealed the deal. The turn and river fell the {4-Spades}
