Take a Seat

Edward Sabat opened to 600 on the button and a player in the small blind shoved for 4,000. Sabat called and the hands were tabled:

Showdown
Sabat: {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs}
Small Blind: {9-}{9-}

The flop fell {Q-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} and Sabat started to get up from his chair seeing that he needed runner runner cards to survive.

The {10-Clubs} turned keeping Sabat alive and he took his seat again after the {8-Hearts} rivered completing the runner runner straight.

Sabat doubled to 8,200 and remains in his seat. For now.

Set Over Set

Annette Obrestad opened to 450 from under the gun and Dwyte Pilgrim three-bet to 1,300 from the cutoff. Obrestad called.

Both players checked the {3-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{A-Spades} flop and after the {10-Clubs} turned Obrestad led for 1,550. Pilgrim raised to 4,050, Obrestad moved all in and Pilgrim called.

Showdown
Obrestad: {7-Clubs}{7-Spades}
Pilgrim: {3-Clubs}{3-Hearts}

Pilgrim was unable to find the case tre on the river hitting the rail and Obrestad chipped up to 28,000 chips.

Friedberg Triples

Jon Friedberg recently tripled through Scott Seiver and another opponent at their table.

Friedberg held {A-Spades}{q-Diamonds}, Seiver had {K-Spades}{K-Clubs} and we did not catch the third player's hand.

The board was {3-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{q-Spades}{5-Spades} and Friedberg tripled to 24,500 chips.

"No way I wanted 70,000 in chips by Level 4," Seiver joked.

Thanks to a couple of running spades, Seiver doesn't have to worry about that problem.
