Meehan Punishes Limpers

Jim Meehan was in the big blind when a player in middle position, the cutoff, the button and the small blind all limped in. Meehan was having none of it and went all in for about 4,100. When the table had folded, Meehan showed {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}.

Hansen Folds to a Shove

A player in early position called before action folded to the small blind, who also called. Thor Hansen checked his option and we were off to a three-way flop.

The flop came {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{4-Clubs} and the blinds both checked. When the player in early position bet 400, the small blind folded and Hansen called.

The turn was the {k-Diamonds} and Hansen checked once again. When the early position player moved all in for about 1,800, Hansen folded.

Donkey Bombing

Tom Schneider was recently part of a group of three players to see a flop of {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}. The player in the small blind bet 400 into the pot with a player in middle position calling as well as Schneider, who was on the button.

The turn brought the {5-Clubs} into play and action was checked to Schneider, who made a bet of 1,500. The small blind folded, but the player in middle position called, putting himself all in.

Schneider: {a-Hearts}{3-Hearts}
Opponent: {q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

The {6-Clubs} came on the river, not providing any help to Schneider's opponent who found himself knocked out. Meanwhile Schneider is up to 12,000 in chips.

Jamshidi Back to Square One

Sirous Jamshidi got involved in a raised pot with a three-way flop reading {3-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}. At that point, a player with the biggest of the three stacks shoved all in.

Both Jamshidi and the other player both called with about 1,125 each.

Jamshidi: {a-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}
Player 1: {a-Spades}{3-Spades}
Player 2: {a-Clubs}{10-Hearts}

The all-in player might have had the best hand to start, but he fell behind when the other players paired their threes.

The board ran out with the {8-Spades} on the turn and the {8-Hearts} on the river, allowing Jamshidi to jump to about 3,000 chips.

Roller Coaster Board

Over at table 7, a player in Seat 2 moved all in for his last 950 chips and was called by the Big Blind in Seat 6.

Seat 2: {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}
Seat 6: {q-Spades}{8-Spades}

The flop came {q-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{8-Clubs}, which our all-in player didn't like too much. But the {k-Clubs} on the turn put him back ahead and in position to double up, which he did after the {6-Clubs} came on the river.
