Top Set for Audé

Jamil Kanji opened to 850 from early position, a player called in middle position, and Erik Audé, who's appeared in movies like Dude Where's My Car and Van Wilder, called near the button.

The dealer fanned {3-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}, and Kanji continued for 1,100. The player in middle position called, and Audé raised to 3,100. Both players released, and Audé flashed what appeared to be two nines to our reporter.

Forrest Takes a Brutal Beat

We don't know exactly how the action went preflop, but we know some substantial betting took place, because there was around 17,000 in the pot when the dealer spread the {k-Spades}{6-Spades}{6-Hearts} flop. It was here that Forrest checked and his opponent in later position moved all in for 27,325. Forrest gave a mild shrug and pushed his stack in the middle for a call. Cards were then tabled, and it was Forrest who was ahead.

Forrest: {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}
Opponent: {A-Spades}{K-Hearts}

Forrest was well out in front, but anything can happen as you will see. The {4-Spades} on the turn gave Forrest's opponent a flush draw to go along with his king draw. As long as Forrest could avoid these outs then he would shoot up the chip counts and have more than a healthy stack to make a deep run. Indeed a spade did come as the {10-Spades} made its presence known on the river.

Affleck Slipping

Matt Affleck and an opponent were heads up on a flop of {q-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}. Affleck check-called a 5,000-chip bet, and the turn brought the {j-Hearts}. Affleck checked again, and his opponent fired 7,000. Affleck tank-called.

The {6-Spades} completed the board, and Affleck checked a third time.

"Set of jacks," the player announced, tabling {j-Spades}{j-Clubs}. "Thought you might be slow-playing something."

Affleck mucked, and his stack slipped to 85,000.

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.
