Darvin Moon has the button. Action folds to Eric Buchman, who limps in from the small blind. That gives "Aggressive" Joe Cada an option in the big blind. He takes advantage of it by raising to 2.15 million. Buchman folds.

Hand #254 - Eric Buchman

[user66118]

Antoine Saout has the button. Darvin Moon completes from the small blind, and Eric Buchman is content to see a free flop from the big.

It brings {7-Spades}

and a check from Moon. Buchman makes a bet of 1.4 million, and Moon calls. The turn is the {8-Clubs}

, and Moon passes again. This time Buchman checks behind, and the river pairs the board with the {8-Spades}

. Both players check again, and Moon tables ace-high with a paint card. Buchman rolls over {K-Diamonds}

, and his eights and fours are plenty good enough to win him the pot.

Hand #252 - Sneaky Saout

The flop comes out {Q-Hearts}

, and Saout checks to the raiser. Buchman continues out with a bet of 3 million, but Saout wants to play for more. He slides in a check-raise to 9,025,000, and Buchman goes no further.

Hand #251 - Darvin Moon

[user75032]

Darvin Moon has the button. He opens for 2.0 million and big blind Joe Cada calls. Both men check the flop, {4-Hearts}

. The

hits the turn and draws a bet of 4.5 million from Cada. Moon, for the second time in three hands, moves all in.

Cada's face seems to flush (in surprise?) at Moon's all-in raise. He starts to get a count and, once he realizes just how much Moon has, folds his hand.

Moon - 47,975,000
Cada - 44,325,000

Hand #250 - Joe Cada

[user66118]

Antoine Saout has the button. Joe Cada is picking up the pace over the last level or so, and he once again raises to 2 million. And once again, he finds no action as he adds some more chips to his pile. That's five of the last ten pots to Cada.

Hand #248 - Joe Cada

[user66118]

Eric Buchman has the button. Joe Cada is first to enter the pot from the small blind, and he makes it 2.1 million to play. Antoine Saout can't call, and he doesn't raise either, so the chips go to Cada.

Hand #247 - Eric Buchman

[user75032]

Darvin Moon has the button. The first person into the pot is small blind Eric Buchman, who puts in 2.0 million. The newly energetic Joe Cada calls. He seems to be the most willing to take flops. The time the flop rolls out {J-Clubs}

, bringing a continuation bet of 3.0 million from Buchman. There's no further action as Cada flips his cards into the muck.
