Big hands:
David Williams Struggling
After limping before the flop from middle position, David Williams faced a raise to 350 total from the player in the cut-off seat. Williams called, and the flop came 8
5
3. Williams checked, and his opponent followed through by betting 700. Williams folded and ended the hand with less than 1,500 in chips.
Big Pot for "BigJoe2003"
The player under the gun raised to 300, drew a call, then Joey "BigJoe2003" Michael raised to 1500. It was enough to get Vanessa Rousso to fold in the small blind, but the original raiser then pushed for 2575, the second player called, and Michael called as well, having both players covered. Michael held AA5
5, and when the board played out QQ966, his two pair of aces and queens was enough to scoop the pot. The original raiser held J10
102, while the first caller held AK107.
Medic Needs No Help
Nenad Medic, gold bracelet winner of the first event of this year's world series, was the button and called to see a flop of K64. Seat 8 bet 'pot' for 1000 and Medic came over the top to put the player all-in. The player folded and Medic improved his chip stack to 5800.
Devilfish Has One Get Away
David "Devilfish" Ulliott was in the cut-off and raised to 550. Another player moved all-in which cost Ulliott just 375 more. Ulliott held AA109 and was up against 9883. His opponent spiked a set on the flop of Q85, and it held through the 4 on the turn and 6 on the river. The loss knocked Ulliott down to 4200 in chips.
Tomko Loses Half His Stack
Dewey Tomko was the lone caller for 1250 after the big blind threw in a reraise. The flop came 1062 and when the big blind bet 1500 Tomko released his hand, now down to 1300 in chips.
Williamson Goes Out
Robert Williamson III raised all in on a J5J flop and was called. Williamson flipped over A-Q-J-x for three jacks while his opponent held ATK3 for a flush draw. He caught his flush when the 7 came on the turn and the river didn't give Williamson a full house.
Boutin Doubles Up
Burt Boutin, who won a bracelet in pot-limit Omaha last year, moved all in on a 3JQ flop and was called by his opponent. The turn and river were 6 and Q respectively. Boutin flipped over QJ98 for a full house, while his opponent showed the Q and mucked his hand.
