Too Many Players in Today's Event?

Level 3 : 50/100, 0 ante

The voice in the sky just had a bit of fun. An announcement rang out in the Rio, "Dealers we still have about 100 players waiting to sit down. Do your jobs and eliminate some players so we can get them in." Everyone had a nice chuckle, and the dealers will certainly do their bests to fulfill the request.

Fossilman Busts Affleck

Level 3 : 50/100, 0 ante

We caught the action on the flop of {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}. Greg Raymer had called his opponent's bet of 450, and action was on Matt Affleck. After about 15 seconds of thinking, Affleck moved all in for 3100 total. The opponent folded, and Raymer called the bet.

Raymer: {a-Spades}{2-Spades}
Affleck: {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs}

Raymer said he thought Affleck was on a flush draw, but was not happy to see that Affleck had a pair for more outs. Raymer faded them all, however, as the turn and river came the {a-Diamonds} and the {8-Diamonds}. Raymer collected the chips and now has around 14,000.

Level 3 : 50/100, 0 ante

Brad Garrett raised to 175 from the button and the small blind three-bet to 600. Garrett called and the flop came down {K-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}. Garrett checked out of turn by accident before the small blind bet 600. Garrett then raised to 1,500. The small blind called.

The turn brought the {6-Spades} and the small blind checked. Garrett moved all in for 2,000 and the small blind made the call with the {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}. Garrett held {A-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} for a flush draw.

The river completed the board and the draw for Garrett as the {6-Diamonds} came in to give him five diamonds. Garrett won the pot and moved to 8,000 in chips.
