Mohsin Charania Flops Boat, Then Gets Unlucky

[user111541]
[user111541]
A player limps in from middle position and Mohsin "chicagocards" Charania raised to 350 from the high jack. The big blind calls as does the limper.

The flop came {K-Clubs} {K-Spades} {J-Spades} and action was checked around.

The turn brought the {10-Spades} and action checked to Charania, who bet 550. The big blind got out of the way and the player in middle position made the call.

The river was the {5-Spades} and for a third time this hand, the original limper checked. Charania bet 1,575 and was min-reraised to 3,150. Charania made the call.

Middle Position: {K-Clubs} {10-Clubs}
Charania: {J-?} {J-?}

Charania's opponent takes the pot, leaving him with only 75.

* Mohsin recently finshed in 10th place at the $10,000 WSOP Pot Limit Hold'em Championship.

"Good Raise" or "Raise"

Action folded around to the player on the button, who opened the pot for a raise. The small blind folded and the big blind tossed his cards forward saying "____ raise."

The dealer claims to have heard "Raise" while he argues that he said "Good raise" to the button (indicating that he was folding).

The floor is called over and after talking with the dealer and two other people at the table that heard just plain "raise", he is forced to raise the minimum.

The button then makes a big move, shoving all in for 4,000.

The big blind then went into the tank for several minutes. It is unclear if he had a hand that warranted the tank, or was simply trying to punish the table for making him raise.

Eventually, he let go of his hand.

Jason Gray Off to a Good Start

On a board of {8-Clubs} {7-Clubs} {6-Hearts} {5-Spades}, Jason Gray faces a 600 bet from his opponnet in the big blind. He makes the call.

The river brings the {Q-Clubs}. The big blind checks and Gray bets 1,500. His opponent makes the call but tosses his cards into the muck when Gray reveals {A-Clubs} {4-Clubs} for the nut flush.

Gray is already up to 12,000.

A short stacked Noah Boeken is all in before the flop for his last 350 with {K-Hearts} {K-Spades} . He faces the {Q-Diamonds} {10-Hearts} of his opponent.

The board comes {Q-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} {3-Spades} {K-Clubs} {9-Clubs} giving Boeken a set of kings to double up, although he still has only 850 chips.
