6
4, the UTG player bets 3,500 and Gaspard quickly calls. The turn (4

Josh Arieh Folds Ace-King
A player in middle position bet 1,200 and a player in the cutoff just called. Arieh reraised from the small blind 3,100 on top. The initial raiser threw out another raise, making it 5,300 more. The cutoff went into the tank with the 98 but eventually mucked. Arieh contemplated briefly before mucking the AK face up. Arieh made a good fold as his opponent held the KK. Arieh is at 82,500
Scott Clements Wins Small Pot With K-high
Scotty Clements raised preflop with the KQ and was called be an opponent in the small blind with the KJ. Both players checked down a board that was all small cards. Clements raked in the small pot but is still at just 12,025.

Opponent: AK
Board: 8

Chan gets it in behind, but turns a flush draw and a straight draw to pick up some outs. The river bricks and Lynette Chan is sent to the rail.
Johnny Bax Cracks Kings
On a flop of 1052, there is a bet of 1,800 followed by a raise to 7,000. Cliff Josephy calls the raise and the original bettor folds. The turn is the A and both players check around. The river is the Q, Josephy bets 13,500 and his opponent calls. Josephy turns over A3 for the nut flush on the river. His opponent looks sick as he tosses kings into the mucks. Bax is up to almost 100,000 in chips after this hand.
