Kevin MacPhee
Kevin MacPhee

On a flop of {7-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{a-Clubs} a player bet and Kevin MacPhee made the call.

The turn was the {7-Diamonds} and the player bet again. This time MacPhee raised and he was called.

The river was the {A-Hearts} and the player first to act checked. MacPhee moved all in, and he was called by the man who turned up {A-Spades}{5-Diamonds} for a full house. MacPhee tossed his cards into the muck exposing his {6-}{7-}.

Idema Flushed Away

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 0 ante

Daniel Idema, who won the 2010 $10,000 Limit Hold'em World Championship, raised, and Chiduziem Obi re-raised on his direct left. The action folded back to Idema, who called.

The flop came {4-Spades}{10-Spades}{6-Hearts}, Idema check-raised Obi, who called, and the turn was the {j-Spades}. In rapid succession, the two bet enough to put Idema all in, and the cards were opened.

Obi: {k-Spades}{q-Spades}
Idema: {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}

"One time," Idema's friend and fellow Canadian Greg Mueller said as he sweated his friend.

The {a-Hearts} on the river didn't pair the board though, and Idema was eliminated.

King Corkins

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 0 ante

Hoyt Corkins raised from early position, and the table folded around to Larry Wright in the big blind. As the cards were being dealt, Wright had been talking to table about trying to make the next pay jump. With the action on him now, Wright folded his cards as he claimed he had a good starting hand but was just playing conservatively. In response, Corkins turned over his hole cards, two kings. Corkins won the blinds in the non-confrontation between two bracelet winners.

Shulman Gets Moore

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 0 ante

Michael Moore was just eliminated by 2009 November Niner Jeff Shulman. We didn't catch the action, but we saw that Shulman, whose parents both own World Series of Poker bracelets, had a flush, and Moore did not.

Moore, who comes from a very small town of 72 people, hit the rail, while Shulman now has 36,000 chips.

William James Scoops a Big One

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 0 ante

Preflop a player in middle position made it two bets. William James called from the small blind, and Eric Froehlich called from the big blind.

On the flop of {K-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{9-Spades} James bet out. Froehlich called and so did the original raiser.

The turn was the {2-Hearts} and James bet out again. He was called again by both players.

On the {A-Clubs} river, James checked and Froehlich checked. The original raiser put out a bet that both men called.

James: {K-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}
Original Raiser: {A-Spades}{J-Spades}
Froehlich: Mucked

James had flopped top two pair and scooped the three way pot because of it.

King for Ogus

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 0 ante

Lee Goldman raised to 5,000 from late position, and Aaron Ogus defended his big blind. On a {7-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{j-Spades} flop, Ogus immediately led out for 2,500 and Goldman called. The turn was the {k-Hearts}, and Ogus bet out again for 5,000. Goldman called, and the players saw the {7-Spades} fall on the river. The turn action repeated itself, with Ogus betting out and Goldman calling. Ogus showed down {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} for turned top pair, and Goldman mucked his cards.
