Azor Rolls Over Moneymaker

Five players paid 600 to see a {q-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{3-Spades} flop. The blinds checked it, and a player in early position bet 1,050. Ran Azor bumped it up to 6,000, and Chris Moneymaker surprised the table by quietly flatting. The blinds and the original bettor got out of the way, and Azor and CMoney went heads up to the {j-Spades} turn. Azor moved all in for his last 800 (with two rebuy chips behind), and Moneymaker called.

Azor: {q-Spades}{8-Spades}{4-Hearts}{2-Hearts} for top pair, queen-high flush draw, and open-ended straight draw
Moneymaker: {q-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} for two pair

The {a-Hearts} on the river gave Azor a wheel for the win. Moneymaker dropped to 15,500 with no rebuys left.

Griffin Triples Up

Lets cut to the chase. Each player committed 2,775 preflop to see the flop come down {7-Hearts}{J-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}.

The first player to act after the flop went all in for about 4,000 and Ashton Griffin called all in for about 3,500. Ayaz Mahmood made the call, having both well covered.

Unknown Player: {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{6-Spades}
Griffin: {K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}
Mahmood: {A-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}

Turn: {10-Clubs}
River: {9-Spades}

Mahmood turned a straight, but Griffin rivered a higher one to triple up to about 18,000. Mahmood won a small side pot and has about 28,000, while the unknown player busted and politely said to his former table, "Good luck everybody, play well."

Ship it to Deeb

It was two to the flop after Shaun Deeb called an opponent in middle position's raise. As the flop dropped, Deeb told his opponent, "I have 1,100 behind."

The flop came down {9-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} and his opponent bet just that, 1,100. Deeb put his remaining chips in the middle and flipped over {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} against his opponent's {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{2-Spades}.

Deeb found the help he was looking for when the {8-Hearts} hit the turn. The river brought the {4-Spades} and the pot was shipped to Deeb, who now has 8,400 in his stack.

Don't Mess with Obrestad

After a player from under the gun limped, Annette Obrestad made it 425 to go from the button. Dave "Devilfish" Ulliott made the call from the big blind, as did the player under the gun.

The flop came down {a-Spades}{2-Clubs}{k-Clubs} and it was checked to Obrestad who made it 1,100. Both players called and we were on to the turn.

The turn brought the {6-Hearts} and again it was checked to Obrestad who, this time, tossed in a bet of 3,300.

Ulliott took no time folding, but it was the player under the gun who went into the tank. He thought it over and over again in his head but couldn't find the call and eventually folded his hand.

Obrestad is sitting on 18,000 and still has two of her rebuy chips.

Ashby Gets It Straight

Richard Ashby and his opponent both checked a {10-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{3-Hearts} flop. The other player bet 1,1,00 on the {4-Spades} turn, and Ashby called. The river wash the {7-Spades}, and when the action checked to him, Ashby fired 5,000. His opponent called, but he couldn't beat Ashby's eight-high straight with {a-Spades}{10-Clubs}{8-Spades}{5-Clubs}. The Englishman is up to 17,000 and still has two rebuy chips in storage.

ADZ Set-Over-Sets Himself

The flop came {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}, and Matt Marafioti threw out one orange T1,000 chip without saying anything. There was a bit of an argument over what the bet meant, though most of the table agreed it had to mean a pot-sized bet. It was unclear who was challenging that ruling, but the floor was consulted nonetheless. They said it had to be the amount in the pot - 700 chips. Marafioti's opponent repotted, then called when ADZ moved all in. Marafioti turned over {j-Hearts}{j-Spades}{10-Spades}{10-Hearts} for both middle set and bottom set. The rest of the board bricked out, and his opponent didn't have king-queen, so Marafioti dragged the pot on is way to 13,050. He's out of red chips though, so he has to make those last.

Straightening Out Mizrachi

On a flop of {7-Spades}{j-Spades}{10-Diamonds} Michael Mizrachi and Marco Traniello checked to their opponent who bet 900. Both called and the turn brought the {3-Clubs}.

Mizrachi and Traniello checked to their opponent who fired 3,600 into the pot. Mizrachi called and Traniello folded.

The {3-Hearts} fell on the river and Mizrachi check-called a bet of 2,775 from his opponent, who tabled {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} for a straight to take the pot.

Mizrachi is sitting on 35,000 while Traniello has 2,600 plus one rebuy chip.
