Thor Hammers Kelly

Blind on blind, the fantastically monikered Thor Drexel bet out from on the {A-Clubs} {Q-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds} flop and big blind JP Kelly flat-called.

Deterred, Drexel checked the {4-Clubs} turn and the {4-Spades} river, and both times Kelly checked behind. Drexel turned over {A-Hearts} {7-Diamonds}, and presumably it was good as Kelly just mucked.

Drexel up to 38,000.

Vinson Gets Desperate

Ben Vinson has been having a terrible day and just now managed to get his whole stack in with {A-Hearts} {2-Hearts}, technically dominated by Richard Kellett's {A-?} {3-?} -- but five overcards to the three came on the board, and they chopped it up.

Juanda Ganesh'd

A bit of a setback for John Juanda. He seems to have raised in late position and got looked up by Ganesh Bathmanathan in the big blind holding {Q-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds}. There was further betting all down the board, but whatever Juanda had will always remain a mystery, as with two queens on the flop Bathmanathan had flopped trips and Juanda mucked at showdown.

Juanda's down to 16,800.

Ganesh Celebrates Too Soon

Richard Allen and Ganesh Bathmanathan saw a {10-Diamonds} {5-Spades} {4-Diamonds} flop, which Allen checked. Bathmanathan bet 5,000 -- only for Allen to check-raise all in for 27,000. Bathmanathan tanked for a while... and then called. It was a good call.

Bathmanathan: {Q-?} {10-?} for top pair
Allen: {A-?} {8-?} for really not much at all

Turn: {3-Diamonds}

River: {2-Clubs}

"YESSS!" cried Bathmanthan, under the impression that he had won. "I have a straight," said Allen. "F***," said Bathmanathan.

"Shocking," he continued, as Allen expressionlessly raked in his new 60,000 stack. Bathmanathan's not in any danger, though -- he's still on around 115,000.
