Hand #57-- Ben Sprengers Doubles Through Rajesh Vohra

Ben Sprengers
Ben Sprengers
Fernandez raised to 55,000 and Vohra reraised to 165,000 and Sprengers moved all in for 402,000. Fernandez flexed his knuckles as he pondered his decision while Vohra stood up next to his chair and grinned at his friends. Fernandez folded and Vohra looked down at Sprengers, eventually getting Ben to laugh. Vohra counted out enough chips to call, stacked them up, stood up and looked at the ceiling...before making the call.

He felt he was priced in with {9-Spades} {3-Spades} but was way behind Sprengers' {A-Diamonds} {A-Clubs}. The {7-Diamonds} {2-Spades} {10-Spades} gave Vohra a miracle flush draw, but the board ran out {4-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} and Sprengers doubled up.

Hand #55-- Jacobo Fernandez

Jacobo Fernandez
It was folded to Dave Seidman on the button and he raised to 70,000. Jacobo Fernandez reraised to 170,000 and Seidman made the call. The flop came {5-Diamonds} {A-Clubs} {5-Clubs} and Fernandez bet 200,000, enough to chase Seidman.

Hand #53-- Chuck Sklar Doubles Through Dave Seidman

Seiver called on the button and Sklar moved all in for 283,000. Seidman put a chip on his cards and announced a call. Seiver took a sip of water before mucking and we were heads up. Sklar's {A-Hearts} {7-Hearts} were dominated by Seidman's {A-Clubs} {10-Diamonds}, but after the {5-Spades} {2-Spades} {Q-Hearts} flop Sklar spiked the {7-Clubs} on the turn, and when the {A-Diamonds} fell on the river Sklar once again doubled up at Seidman's expense.
