Chip and a Chair

Just a few minutes ago Scott Richey was down to his last three green chips; only 75.

The next hand he was all in blind with {9-?} {3-?} against two opponents. One had pocket aces, the other had pocket kings.

He cracked both, wining the small main pot, tripling up.

Fast forward another few hands and Richey is somehow on an amazing comeback with 8,000.

Fluss Hits a Royal Flush

After a flop of {K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} Marc Fluss, is all in against two other opponents.

Opponent A: {8-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} - flush
Opponent B: {K-?}{Q-?} - top two pair
Fluss: {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} - a flopped Royal flush!

To add to this prefect set up hand, the player with top two pair also happened to fill up on a later street.

Marc Fluss triples up with his royal flush and is now at 20,000.
