Dempsey's Set Chops Three Ways

Level 3 : 50/100, 0 ante

Under the gun, James Dempsey raised to 300. He was only called by the players in the blinds.

On the {A-Spades}{J-Spades}{Q-Diamonds} flop, action was checked around. On the {K-Clubs} turn, action was checked around again.

The {10-Hearts} on the river put the nuts on the board, but even so, the player in the small blind moved all in. The player in the big blind and Dempsey both called and the cards were turned on their backs.

"I know you got the straight boys, but I got the set," Dempsey said.

Dempsey: {A-}{A-}
Big Blind: {10-Clubs}{5-Clubs}
Small Blind: {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}

The players chopped the pot, and after the hand Dempsey was sitting on 2,000 chips.

Kenny Tran Makes the Wrong Call?!

Level 5 : 100/200, 0 ante

We wouldn't have believed it if we hadn't seen it ourselves, but Matt Weber has just doubled up through Kenny Tran after overshoving the river and getting called. Action started with Weber raising to 400 in early position, and Tran was the lone caller. The flop came down {10-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{8-Hearts}, and Weber fired out 425. Tran made the call, and the {2-Diamonds} hit the turn.

This time Weber led out for 625, and again, Tran made the call. The river brought the {10-Spades}, and this time, Weber shoved for his last 3,600. This was a bit more then the pot, and was a tough decision for Tran. After about two minutes or so in the tank, Weber called for the clock. Tran continued to tank until the ten second countdown, and ended up calling with five seconds left. Weber tabled {7-Spades}{6-Spades} for a flopped straight, and Tran mucked his hand.

Despite the hit, Tran is still sitting on 6,800, while Weber now has 9,800.

Lichtenberger Loses Some

Level 5 : 100/200, 0 ante

We caught up to find Andrew Lichtenberger and an opponent looking down at a flop of {9-Spades}{4-Spades}{4-Clubs}. Lichtenberger checked and his opponent fired what looked like 3,600. Lichtenberger raised to an unknown amount and his opponent called all in for 6,925. Lichtenberger showed {A-Clubs}{9-Hearts} for nines and fours but was behind his opponent's {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}.

The board finished with the {8-Hearts} and the {6-Diamonds} and Lichtenberger moved chips on over to his opponent. He's now sittign on about 2,500.

Schulman Sends Some Away

Level 5 : 100/200, 0 ante

We missed the betting action, but we saw that Nick Schulman and a shorter stacked player had all the money in on a {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{8-Spades} flop. Schulman figured to be in decent shape with {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}, but he was nearly drawing dead to his opponent's {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}, good enough for middle set. The board brought no miracles for Schulman, coming {3-Spades} and {3-Hearts}, and Schulman was knocked down to 2,100.
