No Surfing on This Shorr

Shannon Shorr
Shannon Shorr

When we passed by Shannon Shorr's table he had a raise of 2,500 in front of him. Action folded around to the player in the small blind, who called. The big blind folded so the two took to a flop.

On the {8-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{3-Hearts} flop, both players checked. Both players checked again on the {9-Hearts} turn, which put four to a flush on the board. The river was the {6-Clubs} which completed any draws to a full house as well. The small blind player checked for a third time while Shorr fired a bet of 3,200. The small blind folded, allowing Shorr to take down the pot without a showdown.

DeWitt Finds a Call

Jason DeWitt and Steven Buckner started on the same table today in the Amazon Room. Their table broke early in the afternoon, but the pair soon found themselves together again at another table on the other side of the spacious ballroom and have been playing and watching each other all day.

The pair's history ended up being relevant to a recent hand which we caught up with on the river, at which point about 25,000 was in the middle and the board read {9-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{9-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}.

After a DeWitt check Buckner had fired 17,500, and as we arrived DeWitt was amid a long think that ended with him making the call. When he did, Buckner immediately removed the unlit cigar from his mouth to speak.

"I got caught," he said, tabling his {A-Spades}{J-Spades}. DeWitt then showed his {5-Spades}{5-Diamonds}, and Buckner expressed amazement that DeWitt had called his river bet with the hand he held.

"I haven't shown one bluff all day," said Buckner. "We been playing together since noon… that's a sick call." DeWitt shook his head and grinned, agreeing it had been a struggle for him to find the call.

Mullins Doubles

A short-stacked Bill Mullins pushed all in from early position, and the only caller was the small blind. Mullins turned over {a-Clubs}{j-Spades}, and the blind showed {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}. The flop provided no help to either player, coming {8-Hearts}{q-Spades}{6-Clubs}. The turn, however, was the {a-Diamonds}, giving Mullins top pair and the lead. The river was a brick, the {4-Hearts}, and Mullins doubled up on the hand.

Elder Sends One Packing

Rupert Elder
Rupert Elder

From middle position Rupert Elder raised to 2,500. Action folded around to the player in the cutoff who reraised to 8,200. When action folded back around to Elder he put in a fourth bet to 17,200. The player in the cutoff five-bet all in for a total of 44,800. Elder called it off.

Elder: {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}
Cutoff: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}

It was a race situation and could go either way, but the flop fell {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}{5-Spades} in favor of Elder. All he needed to do was dodge a queen or a running straight to take down the pot. The turn was a bit of a sweat when it came the {J-Hearts} giving the cutoff player four more outs, but Elder dodged them all on the {8-Spades} river to scoop the pot.

Coren Crushed in Set-Over-Set

Victoria Coren
Victoria Coren

Following a raise under the gun to 2,300, Andy Black made the call next to act along with Victoria Coren from the small blind before the big blind bumped it up to 8,100. All three remaining players made the call as the {10-Spades}{K-Spades}{2-Clubs} flop was met with an all-in shove from Coren totalling 23,000.

The big blind opted to raise to 51,000 to put the original preflop raiser into the tank for over five minutes before he eventually laid his hand down before Black instantly mucked.

Coren: {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}
Big Blind: {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}

With the tanker stating he folded {A-Spades}{K-Hearts}, the turn and river landed the {6-Spades} and {5-Spades} to see Coren hit the rail.
