Ho Stays Alive

After extensive action preflop, we found four players looking down at a flop of {9-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{8-Hearts}.

Maria Ho moved all in for her final 800 and was called by Jeff Shulman and Chad Brown. John Virtue completed the bet to 2,500 and Shulman and Brown both called.

The turn was the {Q-Clubs} and Shulman checked to Brown who bet out. Virtue folded and Shulamn followed suit. Brown was able to take down the small side pot and tabled {Q-Spades}{J-Spades}.

Ho showed {Q-Hearts}{J-Diamonds} for the same hand as Brown and when the {10-Hearts} rivered the two chopped the main pot. This leaves Ho sitting with about 18,000 in chips.

Manger Triples

Mitchell Davis raised from early position, Jason Manger called all in, and Jimmy Fricke made it three bets. Davis called.

Davis and Fricke checked it down as the board ran out {a-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{3-Hearts}. Fricke tabled two black nines for the side pot, but Manger's {a-Diamonds}{4-Spades} was good for the main pot, and a triple up.

Ace High Is Good

We picked up the action on fourth street with the board reading {7-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}. Dwyte Pilgrim checked to David Longood who fired out a bet. Pilgrim counted out enough chips to call and the two were off to the turn.

The {3-Diamonds} fell on the river and both players checked.

"Ace-high," Pilgrim said with serious tone.

"It's good," replied Longood. Pilgrim showed {A-Clubs}{9-Hearts} and exclaimed that the nine played. Longood mucked his cards and Pilgrim took down the pot.

"Wow...wow..." was all Pilgrim could say after the hand while he stacked his newly attained chips.

Shulman Doubles, Abghari and Fricke Bust

Jeff Shulman just doubled through Jonathan Duhamel with a pair of aces on an ace-high board. From what we saw, there were also two hearts on the flop, and Duhamel held the {k-Hearts}{6-Hearts}. He evidently bricked however, because Shulman now has around 40,000 chips.

Across the room, Jimmy Fricke and Ahmad Abghari are MIA, however we didn't catch either if their bust-out hands.
