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.

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.

Barnhart Soars to the Lead

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante
Sam Barnhart has the lead at the moment.
Sam Barnhart has the lead at the moment.

A player at Sam Barnhart's table just recounted a hand to us that gave Barnhart a mountain of chips. A player in the cutoff min-raised to open and Barnhart called out of the small blind.

The flop came {Q-} {Q-} {2-}, Barnhart bet and his opponent called. The turn came {4-}, Barnhart bet and his opponent called. The river came a blank and Barnhart bet 3/4 of his stack. His opponent insta-shoved and Barnhart snap-called.

Opponent: {2-} {2-}
Barnhart: {Q-} {2-}

The both flopped a full house but Barnhart had the better of it.
