Latest Chip Counts

Ramdin Rolling

After a series of preflop raises, Victor Ramdin and an opponent at his table got all the chips in the middle and the hands were opened:

Showdown
Ramdin: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}
Opponent: {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}

The board ran {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} and Ramdin doubled to 90,000 chips.

"You're Horrible"

Francois Safieddine opened to 8,500 from middle position and the action folded to a player in the cutoff who shoved for 50,300 more. The button and blinds released, and Safieddine made the call.

Showdown
Safieddine: {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Mr. Cutoff: {k-Spades}{9-Spades}

The board ran {j-Clubs}{7-Spades}{3-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{9-Clubs} and Safieddine recorded the knockout.

"Yes!" Safieddine said with excitement.

"Ya hawrible," his opponent shot at him with a thick New Jersey accent. "I can't believe you called that. If you win a bracelet, I'm going to quit poker."

"You should quit poker," Safieddine returned. "You're horrible. Thanks for your chips."

While his opponent stormed off, Safieddine stacked his newfound chips and now sits with over 300,000.

Handy Andy

Andrew Buechner is gathering pace after snipering down a short stack with {J-Diamonds}{J-Clubs} versus {A-Clubs}{J-Hearts} on a subsequent {K-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{5-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{J-Spades} board. His stacks are varying heights and I'm not rainman, but my guess would be that he has around the 225,000 mark.

Recovery Complete

After nearing the felt earlier on, Zachary Clark is right back up to 119,000 after finding {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} versus {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs}.

It was the button who kicked things off, raising to 8,300 prefop. Clark then made it 22,000 from the small blind, only for the big blind to move all in for 25,000!

With the initial raiser making the fold, Clark somehow found a call.

Although the flop came down a crushing {J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}, the {Q-Hearts} hit the turn to give Clark the straight, and following a non board-pairing {5-Diamonds} river, the pot, and the scalp, were his.

"Bad"

"Bad"
"Bad"

No, we aren't remembering the late Michael Jackson, that is just how PokerStars Team Sports Star Fatima de Melo described her bustout to Will "The Thrill" Failla.

"Bad," she said to him. "Really bad."

We unfortunately missed the hand, but we are assuming it was bad. Really bad.

Boyd Correctly Folds

When we reached his table, Dutch Boyd was heads up with an opponent and the board read {6-Hearts}{4-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{7-Spades}. Boyd led for 40,000 and his opponent moved all in for 47,000 more.

Boyd had his opponent covered and went deep into the tank. He was legitimately sick over the decision, and after a few minutes of painful deliberation he folded {7-}{5-} face up.

His opponent made him very happy though when he flashed {7-}{4-} for a full house.

Very pleased with the fold, Boyd sits with 130,000 chips.
