, the first player bet 1,850 and then the next player raised to 7,000 from middle position. Cliff "JohnnyBax" Josephy called from the cutoff seat and the first player that made the first bet folded.

Heads up to the turn, the dealer added the {A-Hearts}

to the board. Both the remaining players checked.

The river was the {Q-Clubs}

and action checked to Josephy. He fired a nice bet of 13,500 and his opponent called rather quickly. Josephy showed {A-Clubs}

and his opponent angrily mucked two red kings.

Mr. JohnnyBax is now up to 90,000 chips.

A Keller Hand

Shamus

A player under the gun raised to 600, the player next to act reraised to 2,200, and the button called. Then Thomas Keller made it 11,200 from the small blind.

The original raiser tanked a bit, then folded. His neighbor also considered the situation a while before letting his hand go, too. The player on the button then reraised all in for 17,675 total, and Keller made the call.

Keller showed {Q-Spades}

and his opponent {J-Hearts}

. The board came {10-Spades}

, and Keller won the hand.

Keller's opponent, having been eliminated, left the table. Meanwhile, discussion of the hand continued. The first raiser noted he'd had pocket jacks, too. The second player to have abandoned the hand said he'd folded pocket tens -- he would've flopped a set. Keller is now up to just over 80,000.

Little Cards Crack Elizabeth

[user80015]

Elizabeth unable to get some positive action today

On a flop of {A-Clubs}

both Shannon Elizabeth and her opponent checked to see the {2-Clubs}

fall on the turn.

Her opponent fired out 1,600, which she called, before both players checked the {5-Clubs}

on the river.

Elizabeth tabled her {10-Clubs}

, but it wouldn't be able to best her opponent's {7-Clubs}

for a flopped set of trips.

"You like playing those shitty little cards don't ya" commented Elizabeth as she slipped to 24,000 in chips.

Arieh Remains Disciplined

[user67765]

With a call, then a raise and a cold call in front of him, Josh Arieh decided a squeeze was in order to pick up the dead money in the pot. He made it 4,200 to go and got one fold before the original aggressor decided to re-raise once again and moved all in for an additional 11,500.

Another fold and the action was back with Arieh. With around 85,000 chips in front of him, Arieh considered gambling but made a disciplined fold, flashing {A-Diamonds}

.

I've Got the Cour-Nuts

[user46392]

OK, he didn't, but [Removed:133] is running thoroughly well and is currently sitting on 110,000.

Most recently he raised preflop and then called a reraise, with the merest hint of a raised eyebrow.

He and his opponent went on to cagily check down the {10-Diamonds}
