Durrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Tom "durrrr" Dwan led out from the small blind on every street as the board ran {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}{6-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}. His opponent looked up him all three times, then mucked when Dwan tabled {a-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} for trip aces.

To Each His Own

Level 6 : 300/600, 0 ante

We've got some prize pool information.

With 202 runners for this thing, the final 27 players will earn paychecks this week. The bottom cash is worth $16,329, and the final five players left standing will all earn six figures. The top two spots will guarantee you more than a quarter-million dollars, and the lucky man or woman who scoops the last pot will take home the bracelet and $465,216.

Not too shabby.

Deeb Scooped Veldhuis

Freddy Deeb and Lex Veldhuis were heads up with the board reading {10-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{4-Hearts}. Deeb bet, and Veldhuis called. The river was the {6-Spades}, and Veldhuis called another bet from Deeb. Deeb tabled {a-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}, Veldhuis mucked, and Deeb scooped the pot.

"How Long Have You Been Playing Poker?"

Level 6 : 300/600, 0 ante
Jean-Robert Bellande isn't happy.
Jean-Robert Bellande isn't happy.

When we walked up to the table, the board read {a-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}, and Allen Kessler and Jean-Robert Bellande were heads up. We're not certain exactly what the action was, but we know that Bellande was faced with a bet when he tossed enough chips in to make the call. There was a pause.

"Is that a raise?" Kessler questioned.

Bellande said nothing.

"Dealer," Andrew Brown piped up. "Is that a raise?"

"I don't know," he answered sheepishly.

Bellande stared into space silently. Eventually the dealer decided it was just a call, and dealt the river; the {k-Clubs}. Bellande checked, Kessler bet, and Bellande tank-folded. While Kessler was stacking his new chips, Bellande finally spoke.

"How long have you been playing poker, Allen?" he said bitterly. "That was clearly a call."

"I looked away," Kessler protested. "Thats why I asked."

The two continued to bicker, but it's Kessler who's a few thousand chips richer at the moment.

The Master's Call-Muck

Level 5 : 250/500, 0 ante
Men Nguyen
Men Nguyen

Under the gun, Men "The Master" Nguyen opened with a raise, and he found calls from nearly everyone, including Dan Kelly right next door. The {2-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} {5-Spades} flop drew a continuation bet from Nguyen, and Kelly raised to make it two bets. Nguyen called, and he check-called a big bet on the {10-Hearts} turn. The river {Q-Diamonds} filled out the board, and Kelly made one last bet. Nguyen stared down painfully at his cards, then tossed in the calling chip. As he did, he held his cards over the muck, waiting to see the hand that beat him.

Kelly showed {A-Diamonds} {10-Spades} {3-Clubs} {6-Spades}, and it was the winner. He moves up to about 50,000 now, while Nguyen takes a little step back to about 43,000.

Lefkowitz Scoops Himself to 50K

Farzad Bonyadi limped under the gun and Matt Lefkowitz folloed right behind him. In middle position, Gary Bolden raised and then action moved around the table to Amnon Filippi in the small blind. He called, Derek Raymond called in the big blind and the two limpers, Bonyadi and Lefkowitz, also called.

The flop came down {Q-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} and five-way action commenced with Filippi up first. He checked, Raymond checked, Bonyadi bet, Lefkowitz called, Bolden folded after being the preflop aggressor and then Filippi and Raymond both came along.

Down just one player from five to four, the turn brought the {8-Hearts}. Action checked to Bonyadi and he bet. Lefkowitz called and Filippi called, but Raymond paused for a few moments. He then made the call.

The river card was the {4-Diamonds} and action checked over to Lefkowitz. He was the last player to act and wasn't about to let the showdown come for free. He bet, Filippi called and Bonyadi called. Raymond folded.

Lefkowitz showed the {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}. That was good for the nut diamond flush for the high and an ace-three low, which was also good. Everyone mucked and Lefkowitz scooped a nice pot to pad his stack.
