lilholdem Up Then Out

Chad "lilholdem" Batista led out preflop for 1,500 and was called by a single opponent. On a flop of {J-Clubs} {5-Clubs} {10-Hearts} , Chad moved all in and his opponent folded. Chad shrugged, turned over {A-Clubs} {Q-Clubs}, and then took a big swig on a Corona.

On the very next hand, Chad moved all in from the big blind after four players limped into the hand. All but one folded and Chad turned over {Q-Hearts} {8-Clubs} while his opponent showed {K-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds}. Chad hit a great turn card with the board at 3-9-10-J, but the river Q gave his opponent a higher straight and eliminated him from the event.
