Movin' on Up

[user75032]

On our last rounds on the floor, we saw some notable players picking up a bunch of chips. Shannon Shorr turned a combination draw in a four-way limped pot that was checked to the turn. Shorr held {6-Spades}

on a board of {10-Hearts}

. He elected to call a 500-chip bet to take a heads-up river that filled his straight draw, {8-Hearts}

. Shorr's opponent checked, then called a bet of 1,400. He couldn't beat Shorr's straight. As a result, Shorr is up to 30,000.

We also saw Barry Greenstein take 5,000 chips off of an opponent in a heads-up pot. Greenstein check-called a bet of 1,000 on a flop of {8-Diamonds}

, then check-called 4,000 more after the turn fell {A-Diamonds}

. Both players checked the river {7-Clubs}

, with Greenstein turning over {A-Clubs}

for top pair. That was a winner.

John "the Razor" Phan is also steadily chipping up. He was the only one of three opponents to call a bet of 1,000 from an early position player on a board of {5-Hearts}
