Vahedi Outdraws On Turn

On a flop of {A-Spades}{7-Hearts}{2-Clubs} Amir Vahedi checked from the big blind before the under the gun player led out for 800.

One opponent made the call, as did Vahedi, to see the {10-Spades} fall on the turn and the play checked around.

When the river landed the {Q-Clubs} Vahedi fired 3,100, only to be raised by the flop aggressor to 7,000. Vahedi called and tabled his {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} for a turned set, to best his opponent's flopped set holding {7-Spades}{7-Clubs}.

Lee's Read Moves Him Up

Bernard Lee had pocket queens in the big blind and raised to 900 after a player in middle position limped in. The player called.

The flop came down {J-?} {5-?} {2-?} and Lee led for 1,650. The player put in a minimum raise and Lee called. The turn brought another jack and both players checked.

The river produced a {4-?} and Lee called a bet of 3,500 after checking and tanking. The player held just ace high and Lee's solid read put him up to 38,000.

Cliff Climbing

Cliff Josephy is up to 48,000 after a gentleman chose to get his last 4,700 in preflop with {A-Clubs} {9-Diamonds}. Josephy called with {8-Clubs} {8-Spades} which held up, sending Mr. Gentleman to the rail.

Wayans Cops an Ass Whooping

On a board reading {Q-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} Marlon Wayans was faced with a decision for all of his chips after his opponent moved all in at the healthy pot.

"I got a feeling we have the same thing!" said Wayans repeatedly to himself.

He eventually folded what he claimed was {A-?}{Q-?}, and his opponent flashed {J-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} for a set of jacks.

"Now that's a manly ass whooping!" exclaimed Wayans as he shook his opponent's hand, "Not like that guy (referring to the opponent who cracked his queens with five-deuce earlier)...when he beat me it was like my momma hitting me!"

Wayans is down to 18,000.

Big Pot for Bernard

From middle position, Bernard Lee raised to 600 and the big blind made the call. The flop came down {K-?} {J-?} {10-?} and Lee fired 725 after his opponent checked. The player check-raised to 2,500 and Lee made the call.

The turn brought a {7-?} and the big blind led out for 5,000. Lee made the call again.

The river was a {3-?}. The big blind fired out a hefty bet of 10,000. Lee stood his ground and made the call with {A-?} {A-?}. His hand was good and he's not at 55,000.

Ramdin Wins a Showdown with Nine High

On a flop of {K-Diamonds} {J-Clubs} {2-Clubs}, the small blind and the big blind checked to a player in middle position. Victor Ramdin was the player in the big blind. The player in middle position bet out 1,250 and the next player folded from the cutoff seat. The small blind folded as well before Ramdin made the call.

The turn brought the {2-Diamonds}, pairing the bottom card on board. Both remaining players checked.

The river was the {6-Hearts} and both players checked again.

"Nine high." announced Ramdin. His opponent mucked his hand and Ramdin showed {9-Clubs} {8-Clubs} for a busted flush draw, but still the winning hand. He's back up to 20,000.

Aggression After the Flop Equals Chips for Eastgate

Over on one of the feature tables, defending WSOP Main Event champion Peter Eastgate was just involved in a couple of hands.

In the first, a player from middle position raised to 525 and got four callers, including Eastgate from the cutoff. The flop came {8-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{5-Clubs}. It checked to the raiser who continued by again betting 525, it folded to Eastgate who raised to 1,525, and all four folded.

In the next one, a middle position player raised to 750, Eastgate called, and the button called as well. The flop came {10-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}. The MP player bet 1,100, Eastgate raised to 3,000, and the other two folded.

Eastgate is at 37,500.

David Lewis in action
On a board reading {9-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{9-Hearts}, Chip Me Up sponsored player David Lewis called an opponent's all in.

Lewis: {A-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}
Opponent: {8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}

Drawing to any ace, nine, six or five to take the lead, Lewis would miss everything when the {J-Clubs} fell on the river to see him slip to 12,700 in chips.

Furst Still Thirsts for Chips

Rafe Furst limped in from under the gun, and the table folded back around to the blinds. The small blind completed, the big blind checked, and the flop came {J-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}. All checked. The turn came the {6-Spades}, and again all checked.

The river was the {10-Spades}. The players in the blinds again checked, both turning to the left to see what Furst would do. He tossed out a bet of 400, the SB folded, and the BB called.

The big blind showed {6-Hearts}{4-Spades} for trips, and Furst mucked. Furst is down to 22,500.
