The river came and Spinks folded so fast we couldn't catch his second card. Deeb stayed alive with trip queens but is still short stacked.

It was fourth street by the time we got there and Shak was in the hand against one opponent.
Shak: /   / |
| Opponent: / / |
Shak led on fourth street and his opponent called. Both players then checked fifth street. On sixth street, Shak was checked to and he then fired out a bet. The player called and thee seventh card was dealt. Again the player checked to Shak and he fired out a bet. Another call and Shak tabled his 
, giving him a flush for the high, an eight-six for the low and enough to scoop the pot.

Limit Hold'em
Gary Benson was down to just a few big bets on a recent round of Limit Hold'em and here is what happened during that hand. Benson was in early position when he looked at the limits on the tournament clock, before studying his own stack. He then raised up the pot. All the players folded until it was on the small blind, who raised it up. Benson then made it another bet to go and his opponent called.
Flop: 
On the flop, the small blind led out and Benson committed his last chips - 100 more than a small bet. The small blind called and the two players turned their hands over.
| Benson: |
Small Blind:  |
When the dealer flipped over the turn () and the river (
), it was a handy little double-up for Benson.
