Buckman Outdraws Romer

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

Bill Romer pushed all in from the big blind on a flop of {6-Clubs}{6-Spades}{5-Spades} for about 25,000. Robert Buckman declared that he had to call before doing so.

Buckman: {3-Spades}{2-Spades}
Romer: {j-Hearts}{j-Spades}

Buckman had flopped a combo draw, and the {2-Diamonds} gave him yet another out if he could make deuces full. A {4-Clubs} filled his gutshot straight draw, and Romer could only shake his head as his stack was pushed to Buckman.

Blumenthal Doubles

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

Eddie Blumenthal opened for 1,650 under the gun, and only the blinds called. They checked to Blumenthal on the {q-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{6-Clubs} flop, and he bet 2,175.

On the {4-Hearts} turn, the small blind put Blumenthal all in for about 8,000, and he called it off.

Blumenthal: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}
Small blind: {4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}

Blumenthal had his opponent stone dead, and a {7-Clubs} completed the board for his double.
