Tall Woods

Scott Stanko raised, Richard Lyndaker put in three bets, and Darren Woods made it four from the big blind. Only Lyndaker called, and the flop fell {4-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{7-Clubs}. Woods led out, and Lyndaker called.

Lyndaker called another bet from Woods after the {k-Spades} turned, and Woods fired a third bullet after the river brought the {10-Spades}. Lyndaker tank-called, Woods opened two red jacks, and they were good.

Nguyen vs. Lyndaker

Richard Lyndaker, known as "nutsinho" online, raised from the button only to be thee-bet by Kim Nguyen in the big blind. After a call, the flop fell {9-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} and Nguyen led right out. Lyndaker called, and did the same on the {A-Hearts} turn.

The river brought the {6-Hearts} and Nguyen decided to bet one last time. Lyndaker tanked for awhile before conceding the hand.

Nuts Everytime

Level 20 : 4,000/8,000, 0 ante

Richard Lyndaker raised from the small blind, Darren Woods re-raised from his big blind, and Lyndaker called. The flop came down {5-Spades}{8-Clubs}{4-Hearts}, and Lyndaker check-called a bet from Woods. Lyndaker check-called another bet after the {6-Diamonds} turned, and check-folded when the {9-Clubs} fell on the river.

"Why are you so aggressive?" Lyndaker asked him.

"I have the nuts everytime," Woods replied with a grin. "You should try the call thing when I'm in the big blind rather than raising."

Nassif Hits Set

Gabriel Nassif raised from the cutoff, Alexander Kuzmin re-raised on the button, and Nassif called. The flop fell {4-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{3-Hearts}, and the two players got three bets in a piece. Kuzmin slowed down, opting to just call Nassif's bets on the turn ({q-Clubs}) and the river ({2-Hearts}), and Nassif opened {4-Hearts}{4-Spades} for a set of threes.

"What a pro," Scott Seiver said from the rail. "Look at the way he stacks his chips."

Nassif chuckled, then purposefully knocked his chips over. Seiver and Betrand "ElkY" Grospellier roared with laughter, and Nassif started re-stacking his new chips.

Nguyen Playing Hardball

Action folded to Darren Woods in the small blind and he made the unusual move of just limping. Kim Nguyen was having none of it in the big blind and quickly raised. Woods let out a slight chuckle before making the call and check-calling the {J-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{5-Clubs} flop.

Both players then checked the {4-Diamonds} turn, which was followed by the {4-Clubs} on the river. Woods led out, Nguyen raised, and her male opponent tank-called. Nguyen flipped over {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs} for the flush, which was good enough to take down the pot. Interestingly, Woods and the rest of the table were astonished that Nguyen did not hesitate to raise on the double-paired board.

Set Over Set?

Jay Pinkussohn raised from the cutoff and received a call from Gabriel Nassif in the small blind. Alexander Kuzmin then three-bet from the big blind, which prompted Pinkussohn to get out of the way. Nassif made the call and it was heads up to the {9-Diamonds}{A-Spades}{K-Clubs} flop. It went check-bet-raise-call before the dealer burned and turned the {8-Clubs}.

Nassif bet, Kuzmin raised, and the {5-Diamonds} was put out on the river after a call. This time Nassif check-called Kuzmin's bet, only to watch his opponent flip over {A-Clubs}{A-Hearts} for a flopped set.

Nassif shook his head before tossing his cards in the muck. "Set over set," Nassif stated. "I had nines."

Nguyen-ing!

Darren Woods raised from the button only to have Kim Nguyen reraise from the small blind. Woods then four-bet, Nguyen called, and the flop came down {9-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}{8-Spades}. It went check-bet-raise-reraise-call before the {K-Clubs} hit the turn.

This time Nguyen check called a bet before both players checked the {6-Clubs} river. Nguyen revealed {A-Spades}{7-Spades} for the winning hand.
