Rutter Runs Aground

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.

Chips for Filippi

Amnon Filippi raised from middle position, and was called by Eric Kurtzman on the button. The flop came down {3-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}, Filippi led lout, and Kurtzman called. The same action took place on the turn ({k-Hearts}), and the river ({q-Clubs}), and Filippi tabled {7-Clubs}{6-Spades}{9-Spades}{8-Diamonds} for the nut-straight and a seven-low. Kurtzman mucked, and the whole pot was shipped to Filippi.

Old Dirty Triple

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}.

Acey-Deucey

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.

Thor Struck Down

Thor Hansen
Thor Hansen

Thor Hansen was all in for his last 2,200 before the flop with four mystery cards. There was live action between two players as the board ran {7-Spades} {J-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} {4-Hearts}, and one of the players took the pot with {A-Clubs} {4-Spades} {3-Clubs} {K-Clubs}. Hansen couldn't beat it, and his day is done.
