Chan Doubles

We caught up with Terrence Chan on fourth street where the betting was capped by Chan himself. The board read {4-Hearts}{9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} and the river brought the {5-Spades}. Chan bet his remaining chips and his opponent called.

Chan rolled over {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} for a winning pair of kings, successfully doubling to 8,000 chips.

I'm a Baaaaaaad Man

The troublemaker from Table 278 has yet to return from his dinner break and we're assuming he is no longer in the building. His stack is slowly dwindling, but we're sure the spirits of the table have risen exponentially.

Bach Doubles Opponent

Three bets went in preflop in a hand between David Bach and an opponent at his table.

The flop fell {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} and Bach bet. His opponent called.

The same action followed after the {7-Clubs} turned, but after the {q-Clubs} rivered Bach slowed down. He checked to his opponent who opted to bet his last few chips (750) and Bach called with {a-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}. Bach was no good against his opponent's {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} however, and he slipped to 15,000 chips.

Beasley Doubles

Mike Beasley was getting low on chips when the following hand developed. With three players remaining, the button raised to 600 and the small blind folded. Beasley reraised to 900 from the big blind and the button called.

The flop came {K-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} and Beasley bet 300. The button called and the turn was the {5-Diamonds}. Agian, Beasley bet and the button called.

When the {9-Clubs} hit the river, Beasley bet his last 175 and was called. He turned over {3-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} for a flopped set which was good enough to win and double him up to just a little over 4,000. He is still relatively short stacked and will need to get something going.

Misstep for Shulman

November Niner Jeff Shulman
November Niner Jeff Shulman

Jeff Shulman raised from the small blind and was called by an opponent in the big blind.

Shulman proceed to lead every street as the board ran {a-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}. On the river his opponent tanked before calling.

"Good call," Shulman complimented.

His opponent showed {q-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} for a pair of fives, and Shulman mucked his hand.

Play is three-handed at the table and the two are accompanied by Jonathan "FatalError" Aguiar.
