Zaenglein Doubles Through Leonardi

[user270022]

Level 6 : 400/800, 800 ante

Carol Leonardi opened to 1,600 under the gun and called a three-bet worth 4,700 from Rob Zaenglein in middle position. An flop fanned out and Leonardi checked.

Zaenglein bet 5,000 only to see Leonardi shove all in having him covered. Zaenglein would snap-call to put himself at risk.

Carol Leonardi:
Rob Zaenglein:

The board ran out and Zaenglein raked in the double up.

Gigl Spikes River Queen to Bust One

[user270022]

Level 4 : 200/400, 400 ante

We didn't catch the details but a gasp from the table directed the attention of the room to Mike Gigl who had stood up with his hands on his head. Gigl had an opponent at risk on the flop but was behind with pocket queens to a flopped set of sevens.

A queen peeled off on the river and Gigl sent his opponent to the rail and raked in a pot to put himself over 300,000.
