Ahmadi's Two Pair on the River is Good

[user76023]

Barry Greenstein raises to 40,000 and Karlo Lopez calls behind. Ylon Schwartz calls and Bahador Ahmadi also calls.

The flop is {4-Clubs}

. Ahmadi leads for 20,000 and it's folded to Schwartz, who raises to 40,000.

The {7-Spades}

falls on the turn and Ahmadi check-calls a 40,000 bet.

The river is the {9-Spades}

and Ahmadi checks again. This time Schwartz checks behind, which is a good thing as Ahmadi has rivered two pair with {J-Diamonds}

; it's good enough for the pot.

Level: 21

Blinds: 0/0

Ante: 0

McGuiness Doubles; Greenstein Would Have Boated

[user108095]

Barry Greenstein raised to 45,000 from middle position and John McGuiness moved all in for 301,000 from the button. Action moved to Matthew Woodward, who tanked on the big blind before moving his stack all in.

Greenstein mucked {9-Clubs}

and we went heads up to the flop.

McGuiness: {7-Clubs}

Woodward:

The flop was a monster, falling {A-Spades}

, giving Woodward top two and Greenstein a set, if he'd played. The turn brought the {7-Spades}

and McGuiness' set, which held when the river brought the {2-Diamonds}

.

McGuiness is now up to about 605,000.

Slight Delay

[user76023]

We've just a delay for the WSOP Bracelet Ceremony for the national anthems of the US and the UK as the countries of the bracelet winners.

I say national anthems, but they actually played the Sex Pistols version of God Save The Queen - which was very cool.
