Little Doubles

With a raise of 1,000 and then another to 3,300 before him, Jonathan Little moved all in for his last 7,125.

The original raiser folded, but the reraiser made the call to be in great shape with {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts} against Little's {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades}.

However, when the board ran out {8-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{2-Spades}{10-Hearts}, Little doubled through to 15,900 in chips.

Now on the rail
Now on the rail
Chad Batista was in a classic race holding {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades} to Lars Axelsen's {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}.

He would call heads, but flip tails when the {Q-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{K-Spades}{3-Hearts}{10-Spades} board dropped to see Batista hit the rail.

Do Exits

Quinn Do in action
Quinn Do in action
Phil Hellmuth limped from early position before an opponent bumped the action to 1,550. With Quinn Do in the big blind, he jammed his 5,250 stack into the middle. Hellmuth passed, but Do got action from the player caught between.

Do: {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}
Opponent: {A-Hearts}{10-Spades}

With Do in great shape to double up, the poker gods had other ideas when the {8-Hearts}{3-Spades}{10-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} was spread out by the dealer to see Do hit the rail.

Squeeze Gone Wrong

Squeeze gone wrong

There was an EP raise and a flat call before Rob Hollink moved all in for 7,000 from the button. The original raiser called, but the other player folded. Hollink, who was squeezing, turned over {K-Clubs} {6-Clubs} to his opponent's {8-?} {8-?}.

The board ran out {2-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} {2-Clubs} {2-Spades} {Q-Diamonds} to eliminate the Dutchman.

Opponent: {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}

The board ran out {J-Spades}{4-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{5-Spades} and Negreanu headed straight to the door.
