No More Scotty Baby

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Scotty Nguyen opened the action with a raise and was flatted by a player two seats over. On the {K-}{3-}{9-} flop, Nguyen fired 3,500 and was called only to call all in after the {7-} turn. He bet 5,000 and was pushed all in for the remaining 12,000 chips, the Prince of Poker called with {K-}{10-} but was already drawing dead versus pocket threes for bottom set.

Maria Ho doesn't want to Bow

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Maria Ho raised to 9,500 from under the gun and the cutoff asked her for the chip count. "19,500," Ho said. The cutoff then raised to exactly that and behind him the button moved all in. Ho snap called and the cutoff did so as well.

Ho: {A-Clubs}{A-Hearts}
Cutoff: {K-Diamonds}{K-Spades}
Button: {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}

The {7-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{8-Spades}{5-Spades} board saw the best hand pre flop win and Maria Ho counted again, it was in fact 18,600. The button was covered by the other player and has hit the rail.

Harwood Hands Over 82K

Loni Harwood
Loni Harwood

Loni Harwood was flying high in the chip counts, was being the operative word.

We headed to her table to see her handing over 82,800 chips to her opponent whose ace-king had connected with a king-high board. We'll try find out what happened and report back, it just wasn't the right time to ask seconds after losing almost three-quarters of her stack.
