Solomon Hitting Everything

Matt Keikoan raced into an early lead at his table and looked unstoppable at one point. This poker games of ours is a funny old beast though and he handed over the mantle to Jarred Solomon.

Solomon raised from the small blind and called when Keikoan clicked it back to him. The flop fell {6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} and Keikoan led for 18,000 and then moved all-in when Solomon min-raised. Snap-call.

Keikoan opened: {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} for an over pair.
Solomon opened: {6-Clubs}{6-Spades} for a set.

The board ran out {10-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} and Keikoan was eliminated.

Solomon told us that he's been hitting everything. He now has roughly 265,000 chips to Peter Alson's 80,000 moving into heads-up play.

Ari Engel opened a recent hand and made it 7,900 his opponent then moved all in for 25,000. After a few moments of thinking Engel completed and made the call. Engel's opponent said "good call", with five cards to come though no one knew what the turn out would be.

Engel: {k-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}
Opponent: {Q-Spades}{j-Spades}

The board ran out {8-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{A-Hearts} and Engel came up short, doubling up his opponent.
