Holtz Hits the Rail

Robert Holtz was all in and at risk for around 100,000 on a board of {9-Spades}{7-Hearts}{10-Spades}. Peter Campo had him at risk holding {j-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} for the nuts, and Holtz studied his opponent's cards before turning over {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}.

The turn was the {10-Clubs}, giving Holtz full house outs, but the {4-Hearts} did not pair the board. Campo was shipped the pot, and Holtz hit the rail.

"How is That Possible?"

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Matt Kuba opened in the hijack seat, Jonathan Drane called on the button, and Jared Jaffee defended his big blind. The flop fell {9-Spades}{6-Clubs}{6-Hearts}, Jaffee checked, and Kuba continued for 7,500. Drane folded, and Jaffee check-raised to 16,500.

Kuba moved all in, and Jaffee instantly called.

Kuba: {a-Spades}{6-Spades}
Jaffee: {a-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}

"How is that possible???" Jaffee uttered.

The {4-Spades} on the turn was a rather sick card because it gave Kuba a flush draw, but the {4-Hearts} completed the board.

"How is that possible???" Jaffee repeated.

The two chopped the pot.

Selbst Trending Up

Vanessa Selbst opened to 5,300 in early position, Greg Ostrander called on her direct left, and the other players folded. The dealer fanned {k-Spades}{9-Spades}{7-Spades}, and Selbst led for 4,400. Ostrander called.

The turn was the {6-Hearts}, and Selbst slowed down, checking to Ostrander who fired 12,300. Selbst called.

The river was the {a-Spades}, and Selbst knuckled again. Ostrander tossed forward 23,300, and Selbst called. Ostrander showed {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts} for a pair of eights, but Selbst had him beat with {k-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} for a pair of kings.
