Big Puncher

MarcC

Audley Harrison, Heavy Weight gold medal winner from the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games, is playing today and has amassed a healthy stack.

He just let some go though after calling a preflop raise, a flop bet and a turn bet before checking behind on a {10-Diamonds}

board. His {A-Clubs}

was no good against his opponent's {A-Diamonds}

.

"I put you on kings," he mused. Still on 10,500 though.

Level: 4

Blinds: 100/200

Ante: 0

Chen Not So Flushed

MarcC

Joe Sebok raised to 400 and found one caller. Bill Chen made it 1,100 to go from the small blind. Sebok moved out out of the way, but the other player called and we saw a {7-Clubs}

flop.

Chen lead for 3,000 and his opponent moved all-in. Chen called with {K-Clubs}

, but had been out flopped by his opponent's {7-Spades}

. The turn {6-Clubs}

gave Chen a flush draw and it came with the {5-Clubs}

river, but it also paired the board to make a full house for his foe.

Chen had the stack to survive it though and is still above average with 13,000.

No Victory for Vivek

MarcC

Vivek Rajkumar raised to 400 from the button and both blinds called before they all checked the {Q-Spades}

flop. The BB bet 600 on the {Q-Hearts}

turn and only Rajkumar called before the river fell {5-Spades}

. Both players checked and the BB's {9-Diamonds}

was good for the pot. Rajkumar down to 1,600 now.
