Rayan Nathan Doubles Up

[user57954]
[user57954]
Rayan Nathan pushed his short stack into the middle in the hope of stealing the blinds and antes with his {6-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} but found himself a caller who flipped {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}. A queen on the flop put Nathan further behind but the {Q-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{3-Hearts} flop gave Nathan more outs as he was the only player holding another heart. The {K-Hearts} on the turn completed his flush and he amazingly doubles up to 14,000.

Anna Wroblewski has been skating on thin ice for much of the day, but has just given herself a bit of extra stability after doubling up through Mick "The Hoon" Stanton.

Anna moved all in pre-flop from the button holding K-9 offsuit and Stanton made the call from the big blind holding A-8 offsuit.

The board filled out 7-9-J-8-K giving Anna a pair of nines and just under 10,000 in new chips.

After the hand, The Hoon told Anna, "I knew you were making a move."

Anna replied, "What did you want me to do, fold?"

Online Pros Clash

Michael "Timex" McDonald raised it up pre-flop to 1,800 from under-the-gun and and Kevin "BeL0WaB0Ve" Saul made the call from the big blind.

The flop landed {A-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} and Saul checked, McDonald bet 2,500 and Saul flat called.

The turn was the {5-Hearts} and Saul checked once again. McDonald bet 4,500 this time, and Saul check-raised all in. McDonald called and the cards were shown:

Saul: {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}
McDonald: {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}

A meaningless {4-Hearts} fell on the river and "BeL0WaB0Ve" gets the better of "Timex" on this occasion to jump up to close to 50,000 in chips!

Rayan The Rock?

[user57954]
[user57954]
Rayan Nathan has been peddling his short stack pretty hard since the dinner break, and when he finally found a hand worthy of a raise Eric Assadourian piped up "Here he comes...the rock finally plays a hand!". The table chuckled but perhaps Nathan didn't see the funny side as the rest of the table folded.

Yoyo Doubles

[user57954]
[user57954]
Jonny "Yoyo" Vincent limps in from early position and two other players also come along. The player in seat 9 bumps it up to 3,000 and Vincent shoves all in for around 13,000. The action folds to the original raiser who makes the call with pocket queens. Vincent turns over pocket kings and is in great shape to double up. The board arrives 5-3-3-6-7 and Vincent's kings are good to double him up to close to 30,000 in chips.
