Ilich on the Rise

There was about 2,000 in the pot and a flop reading {K-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{K-Spades} when Drazen Ilich bet 1,225. The player in the hijack made the call as the small blind got out of the way. The turn was the {Q-Hearts} and Ilich checked to the hijack, who bet 3,050.

Ilich made the call and both players checked the {2-Diamonds} on the river. Ilich flipped over {Q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} and the hijack simply mucked. Ilich is up to around 22,000.

"Against My Better Judgment"

With about 2,700 in the middle and a flop reading {4-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}, David Leonard bet 1,500 only to have his sole opponent in the cutoff move all-in for around 22,000!

Leonard stood from his chair and couldn't believe the bet, which would have cost almost his entire stack to call. "I'm going to fold against my better judgment," Leonard said as he tossed his cards into the muck, keeping his stack around 22,000. It turned out to be the right move as the cutoff showed {4-Spades}{4-Clubs} for a flopped set. "Nice hand," Leonard stated as he rapped the table.

Some Updated Chip Counts

Learn, Chat and Play with the Pros!

Although we didn't have any Full Tilt pros in the field today, you can bet that there will be plenty of them showing up at the next World Series of Poker Circuit event in Hammond. Why there and not here? Well, the WSOP-C Hammond stop marks the first of the $10,000 Regional Championship events and it's going to be a great tournament. Television coverage is planned as part of the newly revamped WSOP Circuit and it should bring out tons of big names. We've even heard rumors of the one and only Phil Ivey joining the mix, although he may actually have to pay for a hotel room this time.

We know our coverage is riveting and all, but we also know how well your are at multi-tasking. How about signing up for a Full Tilt Poker account and getting on the virtual felt? After all, it is where you can "Learn, Chat and Play with the Pros."

"That is Why He is the Best"

On a board reading {K-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{6-Spades}{8-Diamonds}, T.J. Cloutier bet 2,000 and was called by an opponent from the cutoff. Cloutier then fired out a single grey chip, worth 5,000, when the {A-Clubs} hit the river.

The cutoff could only respond with, "What a card," before mucking {K-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} face-up.

"You were right to call [on the turn]," Cloutier responded, "I had an open-ended straight draw and flush draw and made it."

"That is why he is the best," commented another player at the table as Cloutier raked in the pot and increased his stack to around 25,000.

Pilgrim Can't Call River Shove

Four players including Dwyte Pilgrim saw the flop come down {K-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}. Two players checked and then Pilgrim fired 800. The next player folded and so did the first player who checked. The other player in the hand called.

The turn brought the {10-Diamonds} and the first player checked to Pilgrim. He bet 1,300 and got check-raised to 3,000. Pilgrim didn't hesitate and tossed in the amount to see the river card.

The final card on board was the {9-Hearts} and Pilgrim's opponent moved all in for 7,200. Pilgrim thought for a minute or two and then gave it up, losing the pot and dropping to 15,700 in chips.
