The G
The G
The player UTG limped in, Julian Powell limped on the button, Tony G raised to 2,000 from the big blind, the UTG player folded and Powell called. The flop was {10-Spades}{4-Hearts}{3-Spades}. Tony G checked, and Powell bet 5,000. The G moved all in for 20,000 and Powell called. Tony G turned up A-K, while Powell held {4-Spades}{6-Spades} for bottom pair and a flush draw. The turn was the {2-Hearts}, but the river was the {A-Spades}, making Powell's flush and eliminating Tony G.

After the hand, Powell was up to 97,000.

Jack on the River

On a flop of {J-Spades}{8-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}, Michael Chrisanthopoulos bet 4,000 from the big blind, the button raised to 12,000, Chrisanthopoulos moved all in and the button called. Chrisanthopoulos turned up {A-Diamonds}{J-Clubs} and was dismayed to see the button's {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}. The turn was the {6-Hearts}, but the river was the {J-Hearts}, making Chrisanthopoulos trip jacks. The hand sent his stack up over the 70,000 mark.
