Hands From The Floor

A bit of a walk around the tournament floor and here are some of the little hands that have recently played out.

  • One opponent check-called every street of a board showing {a-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{3-Hearts} against Eric Froehlich. At the end, Froehlich tabled his {a-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} and took down the pot.
  • Jeff Shulman and one opponent took to a {6-Spades}{a-Clubs}{6-Hearts} flop. Shulman called a bet on the flop to see a {7-Spades} hit the turn. A check on the turn and the {4-Diamonds} completed the board. Both players again checked and Shulman mucked his cards as his opponent's {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts} took down the hand.
  • Maria Ho opened the pot and Mike Sowers three-bet. Ho called and a {5-Spades}{5-Hearts}{a-Diamonds} flop hit the felt. Ho opted to check and Sowers quickly fired out a bet. Too strong for Ho as she sent her cards into the muck and the pot to Sowers.
