Painter's Pumpkins

Jameson Painter
Jameson Painter

Jameson Painter must be partial to orange shirts, as his five-strong cheering section has arrived in the audience, all decked out in orange. They are also carrying a sign that reads "I Heart Pumpkin" and one young man has brought along one of those hollow plastic pumpkins that kids use to trick-or-treat, hoising it aloft whenever their man takes down the pot.

Here at PokerNews, we applaud creativity in railbirding. Nice job, gents.

Two Pair is Better Than Three

Jameson Painter raised from the cutoff seat, and Daniel Idema made the call from the big blind to go heads up to the flop.

It came down {2-Diamonds} {9-Spades} {5-Clubs}, and Idema check-called a bet. He did the same on the {2-Clubs} turn, and one more time on the {6-Hearts} river. At showdown, Painter tabled {5-Spades} {6-Spades} for three pair, and it was second best. Idema tabled his {Q-Hearts} {9-Clubs}, and two pair beats three pair in this case.

That pot pushes Idema up to about 1.3 miillion, while Painter falls back under the million-chip mark.

Grinding Back Up

Matt Keikoan raised from early position and Michael Mizrachi called from the big blind.

Mizrachi led out on the {8-Spades}{5-Clubs}{4-Hearts} flop and Keikoan called. Both players checked the {A-Diamonds} on the turn. The river was the {A-Clubs} and Mizrachi bet out. Keikoan threw him a look before re-checking his cards and sending them into the muck.

Another Chop-Chop

Michael Mizrachi limped in when the table folded around to his small blind, and Brock Parker raised from the big. Mizrachi called.

The flop came {Q-Clubs} {6-Hearts} {8-Clubs}, and Mizrachi check-called a bet. He check-called another one on the {J-Diamonds} turn before leading out with a bet of his own on the scary {9-Spades} river. Parker shrugged and called with {A-Hearts} {10-Diamonds}, and he'll chop it up with Mizrachi's {8-Spades} {10-Clubs}. Both players make a straight to take their money back, and it's on to the next shuffle.

Grinder Can't Call the River

Michael Mizrachi raised, Matt Keikoan three-bet and Mizrachi called.

Mizrachi checked the {8-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} over to Keikoan, who bet. Mizrachi called and they went to the turn, which fell the {9-Diamonds}. Mizrachi check-called again. The river was the {6-Spades} and Mizrachi checked. Keikoan bet and after a bit of a tank, Mizrachi gave up his hand.

Mizrachi is down to 204,000.

Painted into a Corner

Michael Mizrachi raised, Jameson Painter put in a three-bet and Mizrachi called. Mizrachi check-called bets from Painter on the {J-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} flop and the {7-Spades} turn. The river was the {10-Clubs} and both players checked.

Painter showed {A-Spades}{K-Clubs} and took it down. He's nearing 1.1 million in chips while the Grinder is down to 265,00.
