Kiss From a Rose

Action folded around to Mark Rose on the button who moved all in for his last 36,000. Hai Chu called from the small blind and the big blind called as well.

The blinds checked down on all streets allowing the board of {7-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{5-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} to fall in its entirety.

"I have a queen," said Chu showing {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}.

"Of course you do," replied Rose, who mucked his cards and stood up from his chair. The big blind mucked as well and Chu dragged in the pot and reduced the field by one.

A Second Spear Through Iles

Not too long ago Jordan Spear was able to score a key double up through Matt Isles. Spear recently delivered the killing blow.

Three players saw a flop of {Q-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{8-Hearts} and Iles checked. Marcio Cid checked to Jordan Spear and Spear shot out 60,000. Iles replied by instantly moving all in. Cid mucked his hand and Spear thought for about fifteen seconds before calling with {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} and was ahead of Iles' {Q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}.

The board finished with the {2-Diamonds} and the {J-Clubs} and Iles was forced to ship most of his stack to Spear. Iles was left with merely 15,000 in chips and was eliminated the next hand.

Schneider Reduced to Ashe-s

We caught up with the action on a flop of {A-Spades}{4-Clubs}{8-Spades} board to see 2007 World Series of Poker Player of the Year Tom Schneider move all in only to be called by Randy Ashe. Schneider looked excited at the prospect of a call and triumphantly tabled {A-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} for a flopped two pair.

Ashe showed {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} and was behind and in need of help. The deck obliged to help Ashe immediately and the {Q-Spades} struck the turn, sending a shockwave of disappointment over the face of Schneider. The river was the {9-Clubs} and just like that Schneider was down to a mere 12,000 while Ashe's stack soared to 510,000.

Coren Triples Up; "Easy Game"

We caught up to find Victoria Coren all in before the flop and called by Vladimir Mefodichev from the hijack and Matt Iles from the button.

Mefodichev and Iles were still able to bet into a sidepot and Mefodichev did so on the {K-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{5-Diamonds} flop. The bet of 51,000 pushed Iles out and the cards were tabled.

"I picked up a flush draw and a straight draw on that board," said Coren with a smile, showing {8-Spades}{6-Spades} which was behind Mefodichev's {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}.

The turn was the {K-Clubs} and the river the {6-Clubs} giving Coren a pair of sixes and enough to scoop up the pot.

"There you go," Coren said as she collected her chips. "Easy game."

Childs Takes Out Little

Lee Childs opened for 16,000 from the cutoff seat and action folded around to to Jonathan Little in the big blind, who announced he was all in for 70,000 on top. Childs asked for a count, thought it over, and then put calling chips into the middle to put Little at risk.

Little: {A-Spades}{Q-Spades}
Childs: {K-Spades}{9-Spades}

Little was in good shape to double, however, the {10-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{9-Clubs} flop left Childs with a pair of nines. The {J-Spades} turn and {4-Hearts} river bricked for Little and he was sent to the rail.

Childs is up to 300,000.

A Spear Through Iles

We caught up with the action on a flop of {6-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} to find Jordan Spear bet out only to have Matt Iles plop down a significantly large stack of green t25,000 chips into the middle to raise. Spear announced all in and Iles turned up his cards and called:

Iles: {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}
Spear: {A-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}

Neither player had a four but both had a high diamond draw. Spear had the better diamond but was behind at this stage in the hand. The {5-Spades} fell on the turn.

"Come on!" shouted Spear. The river was the {4-Diamonds} fulfilling Spear's nut flush and awarding him a double up.
