Debbie Hinton Hits The Rail
Apr 20, '18
Debbie Hinton moved all her chips into the middle on a board reading K82, and she was called by Joel Woods with the AA. Before Woods tabled his hand, Hinton had asked him, “Do you have aces?” His quick call indicated he had at least A-K. The J on the turn and the K on the river were no help for Minton’s middle pair. She was out.
On a separate table nearby, Jason Royman was able to double up after flopping top set. We caught up with the action on a board reading Q629, and Royman’s opponent had put him all in for 16,575. Royman instantly called with the QQ, which was the absolute nuts in the hand at the time. Royman’s opponent mucked without showing after an inconsequential river card and immediately began counting out the chips. He was left with under 7,000 thanks to doubling up Royman.

Debbie Hinton's Middle Pair Holds
Apr 20, '18
We caught up with the action on a board reading 7439, and a player in the big blind fired 1,300. A player in middle position called, and Debbie Hinton called from the cutoff position. The river brought the 9, and it was checked to Minton. She announced that she had a pair of sevens, and each player began the process of mucking their cards. She tabled Q7, and it was good to scoop the pot.
On a different table, Simon Webster added to his stack in a hand against two other players. An under-the-gun player min-raised, and Webster tripled the min-raise. A player on the button looked over at Webster, perhaps confused by the re-raise, and made the call. The UTG player quickly called, and three players were off to see a flop. The flop fell KJ9, and it was checked to Webster. He fired 600 chips into the middle of the table, and the button player contemplated his options briefly before pitching in his cards. The UTG opponent mucked quickly as well, and Webster tabled the KQ, which was top pair and a gut-shot straight draw. However, his hand was pretty vulnerable given the potential draws his opponents could have had.
