Corkins Getting Dangerously Short

On a flop of {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{7-Clubs} Randy Propson bet out from the small blind and got calls from David Speicher in the cutoff and Hoyt Corkins on the button.

The turn came {a-Clubs} and Propson bet again. Speicher folded and Corkins called. The river came {4-Hearts} and Propson bet one last time with Corkins calling.

Corkins showed {a-Spades}{5-Clubs} for a very low flush, but Propson was one better with {q-Clubs}{k-Hearts} Corkins mucked and is down to just 7,000.

Corkins Triples Up

Hoyt Corkins was all in and had two callers on a {4-Spades}{2-Hearts}{7-Spades}{9-Spades}{A-Hearts} board. We don't know when he managed to get all in, but we can assume it was early in the hand because he was dangerously short stacked. Corkins showed {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds} for trip aces. Both his opponents mucked, but one claimed to have flopped two pair. Corkins had a lot of outs going to the river as any spade would have also won it for him.

Straight On The Board

Level 2 : 500/1,000, 0 ante

Preflop, Al Riccobono raised it up from middle position, and William Soffin on the button put his last few chips in to call the bet. Justin Pechie in the big blind also called and they all saw the {7-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} flop. Pechie checked, Riccobono bet, and Pechie called.

The turn came {8-Hearts} and again, Pechie checked, Riccobono bet, and Pechie called.

The river came {6-Spades} to put a straight on the board and both players checked. Riccobono showed {9-}{9-} for the flopped nut set, but which now was just him playing the board. Pechie was also playing the board with {j-Clubs}{5-Clubs}, but the all in Soffin had {10-}{q-} in his hand to give him a higher straight than the board and he doubled.

Pechie still has around 105,000 at the five handed table and Riccobono has around 45,000

Katchalov and Barbieri Take It to the River

Level 2 : 500/1,000, 0 ante

Eugene Katchalov open raised and Al Barbieri called behind him. They went to the {7-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} {3-Diamonds} flop heads up and Barbieri called a Katchalov bet. The turn came {3-Spades} and they both checked. The river fell {A-Hearts} and both players checked again.

Katchalov tabled {K-Spades} {10-Hearts} and Barbeiri showed {10-Spades} {9-Spades}. They chopped the pot with both having two-pair with an ace kicker.

Rich's Riches

Jordan Rich raised from middle position to find himself facing a two bet from Karen Manfrede. Rich made the call and got to see a {4-Spades}{7-Spades}{3-Diamonds} flop where Rich check-called a bet from Manfrede. On the {A-Diamonds} turn both players checked.

The {k-Clubs} river allowed for Rich to bet and Manfrede to call. Rich flipped {k-Spades}{10-} for a pair of kings, and Manfrede in her disgust showed {Q-}{Q-} for a lesser pair of queens.

Liu Slipping

Level 2 : 500/1,000, 0 ante

JJ Liu opened from the hi-jack and was called by Leonardo Fernandez in the big.

Fernandez check-called a bet from Liu on the {2-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{5-Spades} flop. However, both players decided to check all the way down on the {9-Diamonds} turn and {5-Diamonds} river.

Both players were reluctant to show their hands, but Fernandez eventually tabled for {A-Hearts}{8-Spades} and it was good, as Liu mucked.

Liu is down to 23,000 while Fernandez sits right around even with 42,000.
