Williams Going the Other Way

The other David Williams in our field (who we've appropriately named 'Dave Williams' in our chip counts for clarification) has seen his stack slide back t about 62,000. Here's a recent pot that he lost that helped add to the slide a bit.

We caught up with the action on the {Q-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{4-Spades}{8-Spades} board and two players had checked to Williams. He bet 2,300 and the first player called. The next player folded.

The {10-Spades} fell on the river and the first player checked to Williams again. He fired 6,300. His opponent mulled it over for a bit and then slid out 12,150. Now, that's not a complete raise. A complete raise would have to had been to 12,600. Nothing was said and Williams tabled the {5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}, which was also a bit weird because he didn't say anything to declare a call or a fold. Another player at the table not in the hand questioned what was happening and then Williams said that he folded. The dealer scooped in his cards and the unknown player won the pot.

David Williams raised to 800 from early position and received five callers, all of whom checked the {10-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{6-Spades} flop. When the {2-Clubs} hit the turn, the player in the big blind bet 3,000, Williams called, and the rest of the field folded. The {9-Diamonds} river elicited two checks and Williams turned over {A-Clubs}{3-Clubs}. The big blind flashed the {3-Spades}, but must have been out-kicked as he tossed his cards to the muck.

Good Fold, Says Lind (No, Really)

Level 3 : 150/300, 0 ante

With the board showing {8-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{A-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} and about 15,000 in the middle, George Lind pushed all in. His lone opponent, Demetrios Arvanetes, thought for just a few seconds before letting it go, then the conversation began.

Arvanetes mentioned it had been a difficult fold. "You didn't think very long," answered Lind. Arvanetes went on further, standing up as he did. "It was a good fold," Lind finally said. "Come on… don't say stuff like that!" said Arvanetes with mock-anger as he walked away.

"No, really, it was," said Lind.

Soon Arvanetes was back at the table and the two were laughing further about the hand.

Lind has about 35,000 now, while Arvanetes is at around 50,000.

There's Still Time to Register for the World Series of Poker Europe

Level 3 : 150/300, 0 ante

While time to register for the 2011 World Series of Poker in Las Vegas has officially run out, there is still time to get in on the WSOP action. This October, the WSOP-Europe will travel to Cannes, France and host seven more bracelet events. Not only that, all of those events will count toward the 2011 WSOP Player-of-the-Year Race, which means we'll no doubt be seeing the likes of Phil Hellmuth, Ben Lamb, Chris Moorman, and Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier in attendance. Have a look at the schedule of events:

Henson Heads Southward

We joined a five-way flop as the dealer spread out {4-Hearts} {3-Hearts} {6-Clubs}, but only the two blinds would make it past that point. Ray Henson led out with 675 from the small blind, and the big blind called to go heads-up to the turn. It was the {8-Diamonds}, and Henson put out another 1,150. His opponent promptly raised to 4,700, and Henson called to see the {J-Diamonds} on the river. Henson checked, then called a small bet of 3,500 to see the showdown.

His opponent tabled {5-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} for the nuts, and it's knocked Henson back down under 40,000 for the first time since the first level.

ElkY - Out

Tony McCann opened to 1,000 in the hijack and Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier re-raised all in on the button for about 10,500. McCann called immediately.

McCann: {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}
ElkY: {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}

The board brought no help to ElkY whatsoever as it came down {9-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{4-Spades}{2-Hearts}{7-Clubs}.
