René Bourbeau and Giancarlo Santolin got it in pre-flop. Bourbeau was at risk, but was dominating his opponent:

René Bourbeau:
Giancarlo Santolin:

Board:

A bit hit for Santolin. He did have Barbeau covered, both both were rather short, and failing to hit a 6 would have been painful.

Austin Lamanna’s raise to 3,000 was casually called by Rohit K. When everybody else folded, realizing that Lamanna only had about 16K left, K turned his back to the board and said that he would probably call him blind.

Flop:

Lamanna bet out 7,000, and K decided he wanted to take a peek at the flop after all. He immediately went all-in, saying that he could never fold that hand. Lamanna called.

Austin Lamanna:
Rohit K:

K stood up and started to serenade Lamanna, much to everyone’s entertainment: “You can not win this. Time for you to go home.”

Turn:

K: “You can stand up now, it’s over…”

River:

When the river appeared, the whole table laughed, including K. He gave his opponent a pat on the back, and proceeded to cut the lost amount.

Kevin Christopher Truelove was under the gun when he got 3-bet to 5K by Austin Lamanna. Truelove was going nowhere, holding a pair of ladies, and went all-in, sending Lamanna to the time bank. He finally elected to call off the 17K bet.

When the firing stopped, 3 players were all-in before the flop was out.

Jonathan Marrie:
John Helou:
Jishant Sapra:

Board:

What a hit for Helou. That pot brought him from a 10.5K short stack to an over-average 35K. Marrie lost 10,5K to the main pot, but took Sapra’s remaining 30K, which made him a nice profit.
