John Williams Doubles Through Andrew Oataway

John Williams moved all in for 105,000 and Andrew Oataway called.

Williams {K-Hearts}{J-Spades}
Oataway {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}

The flop was {5-Spades}{6-Spades}{7-Hearts}, with Oataway picking up an open-ended straight draw to go with his overpair. The turn was the {2-Diamonds}.

"Keep it low"!" implored Oataway.

The river, though, was the {J-Hearts}, and Williams doubled up to just over 200,000. Oataway was left with 105,000.

"I Can't Win When I'm Ahead!"

In yet another pre-flop all in, Eric Assadourian took his {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} up against Andrew Oataway's {4-Hearts}{4-Spades}. The flop was {Q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}, with Oataway hitting another lucky set while behind.

"DIAMOND!" cried Assadourian.

"Keep 'em black!" bellowed Oataway.

The turn was the {10-Clubs} and Oataway made a full house. The river was the {Q-Spades} and he spun around to high-five the entire rail.

"I can't win when I'm ahead!" bemoaned Assadourian.

Oataway is now up to 300,000. Assadourian still has the chip lead with 425,000.
