Make That a Double

Ian Davis Playing Heads-Up Against Ernie Lewis
Ian Davis Playing Heads-Up Against Ernie Lewis

The final board read {5-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{8-Spades} and Ernie Lewis could be heard ordering another drink even though his first was still half full.

A quick scan of the scene told the tale. Lewis got it all in against Davis with the best of it, holding {Q-Spades}{k-Spades} to Davis' dominated {q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}. The flop came clean for Lewis, but the turn and river fit snugly with Davis' cards to create a runner-runner straight.

Shortly thereafter, Davis capitalized on the momentum and went from nearly dead to deadlocked in the match, taking the rest of Lewis' chips to force a deciding third game.

Racener Outraces Zinno

John Racener
John Racener

John Racener pushed all in after a preflop raise from Anthony Zinno, who called off his stack.

Racener: {3-Spades}{3-Diamonds}
Zinno: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}

"I've got this one," Zinno said. "Flop you dead," he said, pointing at the space where the flop was coming.

No such scenario materialized, as the {7-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} came out, and the {q-Clubs} and {7-Clubs} that completed the board were no help either.

The players now head to the rubber match.

Round of 32: Fishberg Check-Raises Sarmiento, Scares Him Off

Greg Fishberg
Greg Fishberg

Steve Sarmiento opened the action with a raise to 1,600 before the flop, and Greg Fishberg came along to take a flop.

After the dealer fanned the {2-Hearts}{4-Spades}{q-Clubs} across the felt, Fishberg checked to the aggressor, and Sarmiento responded with a c-bet to 1,800. Fishberg was undeterred, however, and his raise to 5,100 was enough to push Sarmiento's hand into the muck.
