[Luthee13]

Dawn Cooke looks down at Kings.

She raises and the Big Blind calls.

The flop is

BB bets, Dawn raises, BB calls.

BB insta jams the turn and Dawn makes the call only to see him turn

The river is irrelevant and Dawn is sent to the rail.

[Luthee13]

Paul Shillaber finds himself all in with but he has run into

Two diamonds on the flop but no improvement from there and Paul is out.

[Luthee13]

Debbie Kimm running well when she runs Kings into Kings but hits the flush to win the hand.

Joe Carr-Hill not running so well. He ships an 8 high flop with but is called by a villain who hits his flush on the river and eliminates Joe.
