Flop a Set, Lose the Chiplead


John Schray, Jerry Siemienas and George Tomasevich all come along to see the Kc Kc Kc flop. Siemienas makes it 44,000 on the Kc turn, Schray calls, then Tomasevich moves all in for his last 64,100.

This is where the fun begins.

Siemienas then announces he's all in for another 100k, but before action can take place there's the question whether Siemienas can reopen the betting, as the shove from Tomasevich is for just 20,100 more than the 44,000 bet by Siemienas.

People start questioning is it more than half the raise, it is enough, etc, and RozTheTD comes over to explain Siemienas cannot raise.
"Half teh bet is limit poker, in no limit it has to be a full raise."

"Well then, I guess I call," says Siemienas, and Schray - chipleader on the redraw - makes the call as well.

The river is Kc, Siemienas shoves and Schray asys, "Well, I guess I fold," as he shows Kc Kc for a flopped set.

"I have a straight, sir," says Tomasevich to Schray as he shows Kc Kc for a flopped open-ender that got there on the turn.

Siemienas turns over Kc Kc - the same broadway hand - and they'll chop up the pot.

Jerry Siemienas - 245,000
John Schray - 125,000
George Tomasevich - 125,000

There was a LevelUp as I wrote this, so action is now at

Level - 15
Blinds - 1500/3k
Antes - 500
Remaining - 26/170

When a player who is NOT in the hand calls for the cameras to come over, that's a pretty good sign there's plenty of action taking place. I show up to see a       flop and three players - including David Rounds (above) - all in and their cards already tabled. Rounds is showing     for top set Challenger 1 is showing     for bottom set Challenger 2 has     for flush and straight flush draws The turn   completes the flush and makes the straight flush draw now a Royal draw. Rounds finds Barry Greenstein,   on the river and it goes boat-over-boat-over-flush. The player with the flush, who came from behind to take the lead on the turn, is eliminated and Rounds moves to 61,000. Level - 4 Blinds - 100/200 Antes - 25 Entries - 40 -- Dan Ross
