Radoja Had His Man

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

Mark Radoja opened for 1,225 from the cutoff and the player on the button moved all in. The blinds released and Radoja called.

Radoja: {A-Hearts} {K-Clubs}
Opponent: {A-Spades} {Q-Spades}

The board ran {5-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} {2-Hearts} {8-Spades} {2-Diamonds} and the when the deuce hit the river Radoja was not happy. A lock of a hand and some easy chips were erased by the board having two pair and they chopped the pot.

A Few More Chip Counts

Dey's Day Over

Andrew Dey just walked by the media desk and told us how his day ended. He moved his last 16,000 in preflop holding pocket kings. He was called by someone holding pocket fours.

A four on the board ended his day.

Huy Just Keeps Nguyening

Huy Nguyen poised for a deep run.
Huy Nguyen poised for a deep run.

We caught up with WSOPC standout Huy Nguyen on the button in a three-way pot. The board showed {J-Hearts} {2-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} and Nguyen bet 1,025 after action was checked to him. One player folded but another called.

The turn came {4-Spades} and both players checked. The river came {Q-Clubs}, the unknown player bet 2,000 and Nguyen quickly raised to 5,200. His opponent thought for a minute and then tossed his cards away.
