Damm Healthy Again After Two Doubles

Level 31 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 0 ante
Josh Damm
Josh Damm

Josh Damm was all in and short against John Monnette when he made 8x6x5x4x2x against Monnette's draw to 6x5x4x2x and Monnette paired his six on the final draw. That gave him one double up and the following hand gave him a much larger one.

Damm raised in the small blind and got three-bet by Christopher Chung in the big blind. Damm called and then drew two while Chung only needed one.

Damm then check-called a bet from Chung and each player drew one on the second pull.

Damm then checked and again Chung bet. Damm now check-raised, leaving himself just 10,000 chips behind.

Chung thought for a bit but then made the call and drew one after Damm stood pat.

Damm flicked in his last two T-5,000 chips, and while it appeared he had no chance of winning, Chung called the minuscule bet to see Damm's 10x8x6x5x4x, which was indeed the winner to boost Damm back well over a million chips.

"Is It Snowing?"

Level 31 : 50,000/100,000, 0 ante
James Williams
James Williams

James Williams, who has accumulated more and more chips, has proven himself to be quite the character for his chatty demeanor and "chicken" reference for a wheel.

He flashed some more of that personality after a recent hand with John Monnette, who while known as 'angry' John, seems to enjoying his southern opponent's playfulness.

Williams raised in the cutoff and got three-bet by Monnette. Williams called and drew two after Monnette took just one.

Monnette followed up with a bet, which Williams called, and the players each drew one.

Monnette then checked, which led to a bet from Williams that Monnette called.

After Monnette drew one, Williams stood pat and then bet after Monnette checked.

Monnette thought for a bit but then mucked his cards to send another pot to Williams, who has been on a heater recently.

Williams squeezed his cards tightly and showed them to his friends on the rail saying, "Is it snowing? Is it snowing?"

He then sent the cards back to the dealer and said, "It ain't the chicken, but it's in there."

Leonard Continues to Pad His Stack

Level 30
Patrick Leonard
Patrick Leonard

Christopher Chung raised on the button and got calls from John Monnette in the small blind and Patrick Leonard in the big blind.

Monnette and Leonard each drew two, while Chung only needed one card.

Action was checked to Chung who bet, but each opponent called for the second draw.

Now it was only Monnette who needed two cards, while Leonard and Chung drew one each.

Again it was checked to Chung who again bet, with Monnette now folding while Leonard called.

Leonard still needed one card and Chung now patted his hand. Leonard then led out with a bet to the chagrin of Chung, who begrudgingly tossed in a call.

Leonard showed his 8x6x5x3x2x for a winner and Chung fired his cards to the muck.
