Acey-Deucey

[user66118]

We've got limited details on this one, but here's what we know.

Erik Seidel got himself all in in a four-way pot (against Huck Seed, Humberto Brenes, and John Hennigan), and the board ended up showing {10-Clubs} {8-Hearts} {5-Clubs} {5-Spades} {4-Hearts} . On the last betting round, Seed was in position and closed the pot with a call. It was quite a showdown:

Seed: {A-Clubs} {2-Spades} {4-Spades} {5-Diamonds}
Seidel: {A-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} {6-Spades}
Brenes: {A-Hearts} {2-Hearts} {9-Hearts} {9-Spades}
Hennigan: {A-Spades} {2-Clubs} {6-Diamonds} {J-Hearts}

Everyone gets a quarter of the low pot with their ace-deuces, and Seed will gladly accept the full high half for his fives full of fours. He gets 5/8ths of the pot, while the other three have to settle for just a paltry 1/8th apiece. For Seidel, it's not good news at all as he's left with 3,200 lonely chips.

Old Dirty Triple

[user101598]

It was a raised pot preflop, and on a flop of {j-Hearts} {3-Spades} {9-Diamonds} , David "ODB" Baker, Daniel Negreanu, and Mike Sexton got in enough bets to have Baker all in. The turn was the {j-Diamonds} , Negreanu bet into the dry pot, and Sexton called.

The river was the {7-Clubs} , and both players checked. Negreanu tabled {q-Clubs} {q-Hearts} {6-Hearts} {2-Clubs} for a pair of queens, but Baker tabled a wired pair of aces; {a-Clubs} {a-Hearts} {9-Spades} {6-Diamonds} .

Rutter Runs Aground

[user66118]

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

Stuart Rutter was all in by the time the turn card came on the {3-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} {3-Diamonds} board. Jim Grove showed up {5-Diamonds} {6-Hearts} {K-Clubs} {K-Diamonds} , and Rutter simply stood up and left with one card to come. Grove improved to threes full of kings on the {3-Spades} river, and he scooped the pot to scoop Rutter right out the door.
