No-Limit Hold'em

An opponent was all in on a short stack and Marco Johnson had them at risk on the button.

All-In Player: 10♥7♥
Marco Johnson: A♦8♦

The board ran out J♠A♣7♠8♣A♥ and Johnson made a full house to send his opponent to the rail.

"Are you running okay? Full house every hand. You know how hard it is to make a pair in Hold'em," another tablemate told Johnson, who is building a massive tower of chips.

Pot-Limit Omaha

Tom McCormick potted to 7,000 in the cutoff and Qinghai Pan called in middle position.

The flop came Q♠3♥J♥ and McCormick got his last 5,000 in the middle.

Tom McCormick: A♦A♠6♣5♥
Qinghai Pan: K♦K♣Q♣6♥

McCormick was ahead with his aces, but the 9♣ turn and 10♣ river improved Pan to a straight. "You're f**king kidding me," a disgruntled McCormick said as he was knocked out.

As is his custom, McCormick handed Pan a religious book on Mother Teresa and briefly discussed its meaning with his opponent before making his exit.
