Schleger Doubles Up

Shane Schleger has doubled up to 7,000, by the by knocking David Levi down to 6,500. They got all the chips in on the {7-Spades} {4-Spades} {J-Clubs} flop -- Levi in the big blind bet, and then called when Schleger moved all in from the button.

Levi: {10-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds}
Schleger: {J-Hearts} {Q-Spades}

The turn and river couldn't have been much more emphatic, as they were the {Q-Clubs} and {Q-Hearts} respectively.

Stout Performance

Ben Fireman raised to 525 from the cutoff, Matt Stout made it 1,200 from the small blind and the big blind pushed all in. Fineman folded, but Stout made the call.

On their backs, and Stout had his man by the short and curlies, his {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} in great shape against {A-Spades}{9-Hearts}. A {5-Spades}{4-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{4-Hearts} board was good enough to take the pot and see Stout rise to 9,300 in chips.
