Forrest Forced To Chop

Today just doesn't seem to be Ted Forrest's day.

A short-stacked Forrest limped from middle position it folded to the player in the small blind. He raised to 3,000 and Forrest was his only caller.

The flop came down {7-Clubs}{A-Hearts}{K-Clubs} and Forrest's opponent tossed out a single orange t5,000 chips to put him all in. Forrest called and showed {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} which was ahead of his opponent's {A-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}.

Forrest was in the lead going to the turn when the {3-Clubs} fell. However, unfortunately for Forrest, he was forced to chop up the pot when the {3-Diamonds} paired the board on the river giving each player aces and threes with a king kicker.

Forrest is still sitting on a short stack of about 5,300.

Tilly Rabbit, Trix Are For Kids

Jennifer Tilly called the all in of a shorter stacked player before the flop. When the cards were turned over, it was revealed that Tilly and her opponent were racing.

Tilly: {J-Hearts}{J-Spades}
Opponent: {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}

The flop came down {7-Clubs}{A-Spades}{10-Clubs} and Tilly fell way behind her opponents pair of aces. The {2-Clubs} turn and the {3-Diamonds} river were of no help to her and she was forced to ship 11,775 the way of an opponent. Tilly is currently sitting on 22,000 in chips.

Adams On a Roll

The player on the button opened for 1,000 and he was called by the player directly behind him in the small blind. Brandon Adams then squeezed to 3,500 from the big blind. Adams caused the original raiser to fold, however, the player in the small came along for a heads-up pot.

The flop came {8-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} and the player in the small checked - prompting a 4,200 bet from Adams. His opponent tanked hard and re-checked his cards several times.

"I think I'm ahead," he said to Adams.

Adams remained silent.

After about a minute, he finally dropped his hand into the muck - conceding the pot to Adams.

Adams has been on quite a tear today - he is up to 155,000.
