Salinas Busts Greenstein

Level 3 : 50/100, 0 ante

We caught a hand with Barry Greenstein on the button as he moved all in preflop for 375. Two players called, and Eric Salinas raised to 1,200. Only one of the other players called the raise.

The flop came {k-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}, and both Salinas and the other player checked as Greenstein waited, quietly counting out the pot. The turn came {3-Diamonds}, and both players checked again. The river was the {9-Clubs}, and Salinas led out for 1,800, prompting his opponent to fold.

Salinas showed {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} for a rivered set, while Greenstein showed {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs} for a busted pair. Greenstein will be sitting the rest of this one out as Salinas grows his chip stack to around 6,400.

Bounahra Goes All In

Level 3 : 50/100, 0 ante

We were walking around and saw Badih Bounahra with a pained look on his face. He was facing a large 2,475 chip bet from his opponent on an already developed board of {2-Hearts}{7-Spades}{8-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{5-Hearts}.

He had calling chips in his hand ready to go, but then pulled them back. He kept looking like he was going to call but then stopping himself. He did this about three times before he slammed the chips on the table. But not only did he slam the calling chips down, he announced "All In."

His opponent was not to pleased with that and grumbled as he threw his cards into the muck. With that hand Bounahra is off to a good start with 15,000.

Williams Dodges an Ace

Level 4 : 75/150, 0 ante

We picked up a hand with David Williams on a flop of {5-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{9-Spades}. The opponent in the small blind checked, Williams bet 575 into the pot, and his opponent called.

The turn came the {5-Clubs}, and both players checked. The river was a {2-Spades}, and again, both players checked. Williams turned over {k-}{k-}, dodging an ace to win the pot.

Bad Luck For Vandermissen

Kevin Vandermissen had {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds} laid out in front of him but was unfortunately paying his opponent's all in as his opponent held {j-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}. His opponent turned a flush with {q-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{4-Spades}.

Vandermissen had to pay the 3,125 chips that his opponent had but still has 6,500 to play with.
