Serock Doubles

We missed the action but saw Joseph Serock double up holding the {k-Clubs}{q-Spades}{j-Spades}{3-Spades} versus his opponent's {a-Spades}{7-Spades}{7-Clubs}{4-Clubs} on a board reading {q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{j-Clubs}. Serock will still need some help to build his stack, but he's heading in the right direction for now.

Binger Doubles

Level 4 : 100/200, 0 ante

Catching the action on the {8-Hearts}{A-Spades}{6-Diamonds} flop we found Nick Binger all in {A-Clubs}{A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} against his opponent's {Q-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}.

The turn and river landed the {3-Clubs} and {4-Hearts} to see Binger double through to 12,000 in chips.

Lamb Chops Up His Opponent

Level 4 : 100/200, 0 ante

After the flop came {10-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{5-Clubs}, Ben Lamb bet 5,000 and another player went all in. Lamb called and their hands were revealed.

Lamb: {k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}
Opponent: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{4-Hearts}

The other players aces were leading until the {j-Hearts} came on the turn giving Lamb a straight. The {6-Diamonds} on the river changed nothing and Lamb's stack soared to around 40,000.

Selbst's Stack Sinks

Level 5 : 150/300, 0 ante

We missed the betting action but Vanessa Selbst and another player got all the chips in after a flop of {8-Hearts}{6-Spades}{3-Spades}.

Selbst: {q-Clubs}{8-Spades}{7-Clubs}{5-Spades}
Opponent: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}

Selbst would need some help to catch up to her opponent. The turn was the {7-Hearts} giving Selbst two pair and the lead, but the {6-Clubs} on the river gave her opponent a better two pair.

Selbst now has around 3,000 left in her stack.
