Andy Black on a Heater

[user108095]

Andy Black has played and won three separate hands in the past few minutes.

In the first, he reraised all in preflop with {A-Diamonds}

and got called by pocket eights. Black took the lead when the flop came {Q-Spades}

, leaving his opponent with an eight or a spade to make his hand. The turn and river came {K-Hearts}

and Black doubled to 7,375.

Black was back at it a hand later in a four-way pot. Everyone checked the flop of {10-Spades}

and Black bet the {2-Diamonds}

on the turn, getting one call. Black bet the {4-Clubs}

on the river and showed {K-Diamonds}

to take the pot with trip 10s.

On the third hand, Black led out from the big blind on a flop of {3-Clubs}

and got a call. He bet 500 when the {6-Hearts}

hit the turn and 200 when the {3-Hearts}

fell on the river.

When his opponent folded, Black showed the {7-Hearts}

and took the chips. His stack is now at 9,500.

Erica Schoenberg Takes a Hit on the River

[user108095]

Erica Schoenberg called an all-in bet of 1,125 from the button, as did the player in the big blind.

The action went check-check on a flop of {3-Spades}

and Erica pushed her remaining chips into the middle after her opponent checked the {Q-Diamonds}

on the turn. When her opponent folded, Schoenberg tabled {A-?}

for top pair, and the remaining all-in player tabled {K-Hearts}

before hitting a king on the river to take the pot.
