Exciting Board Sends a Double to Tobin

Level 6 : 400/800, 800 ante

All the chips were in the middle upon arrival and {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} had filled the community.

David Tobin was the player at risk and Maxwell Young was sending him a stack of chips. Young had {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} in his hand and was just barely behind the {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds} of Tobin in what was a cooler of a hand.

Ball Slows It Down, Koch Catches up

Level 5 : 300/600, 600 ante
Collin Ball
Collin Ball

David Tobin had a raise of 3,200 in front of him from under the gun and Collin Ball raised to 8,100 in the hijack. Russell Koch was in the big blind with a decision and in the end, he raised to 16,600. Tobin quickly declined and Ball called.

The dealer fanned out {a-Hearts}{3-Spades}{3-Clubs} and Koch continued with a bet of 21,000. A quick moment of thought from Ball ended with a call. A {9-Diamonds} turn peeled off and both checked through to the {j-Hearts} river where Koch checked once more.

Ball announced that he was all-in, and Koch instantly called. Ball turned over {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} for a flopped bullet but Koch then revealed {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}, giving him a rivered boat to end the night of Ball.
