K-man Kannot be Killed

Game scheduled to be 7 handed. 2 late comers, and one extremely early goer. He would be rewarded though, more than he could have ever imagined.

4-handed and a raise on the SB to $2 and everyone calls. Flop comes interesting enough with an Ace and a King. Lead out by Lesrach and flat from preflop raiser Armuk. Turn is another Ace and Lesrach bets out again, to which Armuk flats once more. River is what is known as a blank and Lesrach bets out $29. Armuk raises $30 and surprisingly, Lesrach folds. Armuk flips over Quads and this is only the beginning of things to come for our good friend Armuk. Oh yeah, this was the very first hand of the night.

Limp in middle position is met by a raise to 3.50 by Srich, called by BB Kime and Armuk. Flop comes 2 10 3 with 2 diamonds. Kime leads out for $6 and Armuk flats. Srich ponders a bit before reraising $15 more. Kime folds and Armuk thinks a while and then calls. Turn is a diamond and Armuk shoves all in. Its more than $80 more for Srich and he reluctantly folds what seemed to be an overpair at the very least. In this situations where a player has that sick feeling that they are beat, there are very few inidividuals with the will power to lay down monsters. Kudos to Srich for being that player, even if it was for one hand only.

Preflop raise from Lesrach to $2.50 and Armuk flats once more and reraise to $10 by Natamgon. Both players call and they see a flop of 7 8 9 with two spades. Check by Lesrach and lead out by Armuk for $10, which is promptly reraised to $20 by Natamgon. Armuk quickly announces putting preflop reraiser all-in for all he has. Natamgon tells Kime to ready the bounty on his head if he is a beat and flips over bullets. Armuk flips over 10 6 for a straight and Natamgon is drawing thin. A sliver of hope on the turn as the board pairs 7 but an 8 on the river drops him back to earth and Armuk takes down a nice pot. Once again the question of how strong Aces are is raised, especially on a dangerous looking board as this. We would all like to think that we could get away from this, but only time will tell how we play the strongest preflop hand in holdem.

Short-stack Jushin, a common place for him early in most sessions raises in the CO and is reraised by new player Cirque on the button. Folded back to Jushin who cannot wait to get it in with Jacks. Insta-call by Cirque with bullets and to add insult to injury flops and Ace and seals the deal. Believe it or not, Aces do hold sometimes. can you say rebuy?

Massive multi-limp pot late in the session and short-stack Jushin pushes all-in $30-ish. Folded back to Armuk who is feeling invincible of late and calls with deuces and is ahead of Q9s. Duck on the flop and its all over for Jushin who rebuys 20 minutes later.

Thanks again for reading guys. If any of the attendees have any hand they want to include or a hand that I stated incorrectly, let me know.

Good luck on the felt!
