Are You Huckin' Nuts?

A gregarious gentleman has just taken a front-row seat in the bleachers. He's supporting Huck Seed and even came with a homemade sign... reading "Are You Huckin' Nuts?"

Just as Seed took down that pot with aces, he gave the crowd a yell with his slogan.

Rockets for Huck

Hold'em

Huck Seed raised it up from the under the gun with Erik Sagstrom and John Hanson defending in the blinds.

The flop landed {10-Clubs}{5-Spades}{Q-Clubs} and action checked to Seed, who fired a bet. Sagstrom folded and Hanson called.

The {K-Clubs} on the turn was checked through and the {Q-Spades} hit the river. Hanson fired a bet and Seed made a quick call.

Sagstrom tabled {J-Spades}{10-Spades}, but Seed took it down with {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}.

First Hold'em Pot to Sagstrom

Hold'em

Back to Hold'em and Vitaly Lunkin opened the action with a raise from the cutoff. Erik Sagstrom made the call in the big blind.

They saw a flop of {J-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds} and Sagstrom checked over to Lunkin, who fired a bet. Sagstrom made the call.

The turn brought the {9-Diamonds} and both players checked.

The river was the {J-Spades} and Sagstrom quickly fired out a bet of 160,000. Lunkin slowed the pace down and deliberated for a minute or two before eventually releasing. Sagstrom takes it down.

A Full Boat and a Smooth Six

Stud-8

Ville Wahlbeck (X)(X){8-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts}
John Hanson (X)(X) {A-Clubs} {6-Hearts} {K-Spades} {2-Clubs} (X)
David Bach (X)(X) {J-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} {4-Spades} {8-Spades} (X)

Ville Wahlbeck had the bring-in, John Hanson completed, David Bach called, and Wahlbeck called. Hanson led out on fourth street, Bach making the call and Wahlbeck folding. Hanson led again on fifth and Bach called. Bach check-called a bet on sixth, them check-raised the river. Hanson called.

Hanson showed {10-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} {4-Clubs} for a 6-4-3-2-A low while Bach took the high with {8-Clubs} {J-Clubs} {9-Hearts} in the hole for eights full of jacks.

Three Small Ones

Stud-8

Not a lot of action in the three Stud-8 hands since the dinner break.

In the first hand, David Bach completed and took down the antes, while Erik Sagstrom collected the last two pots with bets on fourth street.

Scooper Puts Seed Back in It

Scoooooop!
Scoooooop!
Stud-8

Ville Wahlbeck (X)(X) {8-Spades} {7-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts} (X)
John Hanson (X)(X) {J-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} {K-Diamonds}
Huck Seed (X)(X) {7-Diamonds} {A-Clubs} {6-Hearts} {9-Clubs} (X)

Vitaly Lunkin had the bring-in with the {2-Diamonds}, Ville Wahlbeck completed, John Hanson and Huck Seed both called and Lunkin folded.

Seed led out on fourth street and both players called. He fired again on fifth, Wahlbeck making the call and Hanson mucking his hand. Seed led again on sixth and seventh streets, Wahlbeck calling down.

Seed showed {A-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} {3-Diamonds} for a pair of aces and a 7-6-5-3-A low to scoop the pot and get a much-needed chip infusion.
