More of the Comeback; Affleck Now at 36K

Matt Affleck was knocked down to his last 400 in chips, which was equal to one small blind. He's since run it back up and is back on 36,000 in chips.

Just recently, he moved all in from the small blind for 9,200 after action folded to him. The big blind called with the {A-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} and Affleck had the {10-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}. The board ran out {10-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{4-Hearts} and Affleck doubled.

Then, a player shoved {J-}{10-} suited into Affleck, who was holding two jacks. Affleck won that pot and is right back in the mix with above-average chips.

Kling Opts to Keep Her Chips

Lauren Kling bet 1,900 on the {Q-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{2-Clubs} flop only to have her opponent raise to 4,200. Kling thought about it for a minute, counting down her stack and weighing her options. In the end, she folded her hand and let her opponent take the pot. Doing so dropped her under 20,000 in chips.

An Angel Has Fallen

Angel Guillen raised all in for 8,100 from the under-the-gun-plus-one position. Action then folded a few spots over to a player in middle position and he reraised all in for around 25,000. Everyone else folded and Guillen turned over the {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs}. His opponent held two overs with the {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}.

Guillen's lead stayed true on the {8-Clubs}{4-Spades}{3-Hearts} flop, but the {Q-Spades} on the turn put him behind. Guillen needed a six on the river, but couldn't find it when the {7-Hearts} fell and he was eliminated short of the money.
