Insta Call

Raymond Davis, sitting in mid position, raises to 1,700 before a player in the cut off moves all in for 5,000.

Davis snap calls with {A-Spades} {A-Hearts} and is in good shape against his opponent's {K-Spades} {Q-Hearts}.

The flop comes {9-Spades} {K-Clubs} {Q-Clubs} and turn {Q-Diamonds}!! The river {8-Hearts} changed nothing enabling Davis to double up his opponent thanks to his full house.

Davis down to 18,000 now.

Binger Busted

We arrive at the table and the turn has just been dealt so the board reads {Q-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds}.

Nick Binger is all in holding {Q-Clubs} {K-Spades} and he's drawing thin against his opponent's turned flush with {A-Diamonds} {K-Clubs}.

The river comes {J-Hearts} to send Binger the same way as his brother.
