Playing With the Cards Face Up

Nível 4 : 100/200, 0 ante

We saw more than 5,500 in the pot and no flop to be found, with Brain Rast facing what looked to be an all-in bet of 11,625 by Ben Hamnett. Rast stood to count out the wager, and cut the appropriate amount of chips from his already doubled stack.

After a minute or so of thought, Rast plunked in the excised stack turned over his . That's when Rast discovered that Hamnett, who you may remember as the winner of the 2012 World Poker Tour Borgata Poker Open Main Event ($818,847), still had a thousand or so chips remaining behind his water bottle.

"I put him all in then," said Rast, apparently having placed more than enough in the pot for such a raise anyway. "I didn't see the extra chips though."

With Rast's overpair already tabled, Hamnett could not have liked calling off with his , but he was pot committed at this point and his last chips went into the middle.

Flop:

Just like that, the deck delivered for Hamnett, and when the turn () and river () brought no third ten on board, Rast was forced to ship half of his stack across the table.

[user68268]

Nível 4 : 100/200, 0 ante

From the cutoff seat, Elio Fox opened with a raise to 525. Christian Harder called on the button, then Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier called from the small blind. In the big blind, Steve O'Dwyer reraised to 2,400. Fox and Harder folded, but Grospellier had other things in mind. After some thought, he moved all in for 11,750. O'Dwyer tanked for a bit, then called.

O'Dwyer saw the bad news when Grospellier showed the and had his dominated. The flop, turn and river ran out , and Grospellier doubled up.

Regrowth

Nível 4 : 100/200, 0 ante

Eric "E-Fro" Froehlich was on life support just a few minutes ago, when his was beat by a flopped straight, in a hand that the longtime games player took to Twitter to celebrate after losing the minimum.

eric froehlich @efropoker

Last hand of level 3 bet kk vs KTo who calls out of position. QJ9 flop. Lost the minimum instead of busting tho. 6kJune 18 2013

Just a half hour or so later, however, and Froehlich's stack has been returned to its former health. We saw E-Fro dragging a large pot his way, and with a player departing his table in a hurry, it was clear the two-time WSOP bracelet winner had notched a knockout to pad his stack.

We stuck around to catch Froehlich win a few more small pots, and after dodging elimination earlier in a spot many amateurs would have gladly gone bust, the former Magic the Gathering great has played his regrowth card to perfection, returning from the graveyard after an early clash.
