Billy's A Grinner!

In a crazy pot that saw a three-way all in, we found the following hands tabled.

Billy Griner: {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}
John Bardwell: {A-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}
Lary Loose: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}

The flop of {2-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} put Loose way out in the lead with his set, but it still left Bardwell a king to make a straight, and Griner an ace to take the lead or running cards for a straight.

The {3-Diamonds} on the turn changed little, but the miraculous {A-Clubs} on the river would see Griner more than double to 110,000, Bardwell hit the rail and Loose left crippled on just 16,000 in chips.

Wilson Spikes River

William Wilson called an opponent's all in holding {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts} to be in a classic race against {Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades}.

The {5-Spades}{9-Hearts}{6-Hearts} flop gave Wilson a sweat with a flush draw to now go along with his two overs.

The turn of the {4-Diamonds} changed little, but it would be the {k-Clubs} on the river to see Wilson soaring to 140,000 while also eliminating an opponent.
