The flop read when we caught AP Phahurat contesting a pot against two opponents. The big blind player had checked to Phahurat in middle position, and the pro obliged with a bet of 300.
The player in the hijack seat decided to apply a little added pressure, and he raised the action to 800, prompting a lengthy tank-and-talk from the big blind. Finally, that player decided to lay down, and with the action back on him Phahurat quickly flicked out a baby blue T500 chip to see the turn.
Fourth street delivered the from the deck and both players tapped the table at the sight of the four-flush, bringing the on the river.
Phahurat then seized control of the pot with a bet of 1,100, which was enough to force the hijack off his hand.
Whenever three of the game's brightest stars are all seated at the same table, our reportorial interest is piqued, but with Scott Clements, Joe Serock, and Mukul Pahuja in the #5, #6, and #7 seats, respectively, we stopped by catch a little pro-on-pro combat.
Although Clements and Serock declined to enter the pot we witnessed, Pahuja decided to test the waters with a 400 c-bet on the flop after the big blind checked the action.
Pahuja called the raise to see the turn come , and both players checked to see the complete the board on the river. Two more taps of the table led to a showdown, but Mukul mucked when his opponent rolled over for the winner.
Lind is a gregarious fellow prone to backclaps and banter, and his genuine interest in the players he meets during his tournament travels is evident in every exchange. Like Barry Greenstein before him, this WSOP champion has taken to giving a gift to players who bust him from a tournament, and while Lind's calling card is not as flashy as an autographed copy of Ace on the River, it holds a certain meaning nonetheless.
Lind is in the house here today, competing in the WSOP one year after achieving his greatest accomplishment on the felt. We'll be sure to let you know if and when Lind's signature calling card comes out of the wallet to greet a player he busted, or the opponent who sends him to the rail.
We just caught the tail end of a truly brutal beat, with Tom Braband coming up on the right end of a counterfeit to remember.
When we passed the table Braband had just called an all-in bet of 2,000 while tabling for an overpair to the board. The flop read when the money went in, but Braband was drawing extremely thin when his opponent revealed for a flopped set of treys.
The turn card came to double Braband's arsenal of outs from two to four, as a third nine on the river would leave his opponent's set of threes unplayable.
River:
Just like that the miracle card came, and Braband notched the knockout while building a respectable stack heading into the next break.
James Woods makes friends at every table he sits down at, but he also knows how to take his fans' chips along the way
During the recent break James Woods filled us in on the details of his path to building one of the biggest stacks in the room, with the actor who famously starred in the television series Shark proving that he still has a bit of bite left in him
According to Woods, he tangled with the table's loosest player on two different occasions, bluffing both times to force his opponent to fold, and showing down nine-high and the like each time.
Shortly afterwards, Woods won a big flip when his held up over through five board cards, propelling him to the top of the chip counts as Level 5 begins.
Rick Fitzgerald made his stand with an all-in three-bet to 2,550, after an opponent opened to 400 in front of him.
That player elected to look Fitzgerald up with , and he found himself flipping a coin when the former turned over .
Without looking at the board, Fitzgerald waited until a runout of was produced, and with that he finally took a look to discover he had dodged the deck.
Matt Stout is repping the Kings today, but his heart bleeds blue for his beloved New York Rangers
Matt Stout headed over to the PokerNews Live Reporting Desk to take a gander at the Stanley Cup Playoff Game 7 currently underway between the L.A. Kings and the Chicago Blackhawks.
As his visit became an extended one, us swapping hockey stories with the most avid New York Rangers fan this side of Madison Square Garden, it was soon clear that his time in Event #9 had come to an end.
Stout was kind enough to run us through a postmortem of his bustout hand, as his was ran down by in an all-in confrontation before the flop. One player opened for 600, Stout three-bet shoved for his last 2,450, and the raiser looked him up. The first three board cards were bad news for Stout, coming to give his opponent a flush draw, but it was a on the turn which left him drawing thin.
The river came to leave Stout with no pair - and no chips - but he happily headed out to catch the rest of the game, hoping the Kings can mount a comeback to gain entrance to the Stanley Cup Finals - where Stout's beloved Rangers lie in wait.
