Snowmen Hold for Giovanniello
Level 15
: 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Dom Giovanniello got his stack of 70,500 all in preflop and was racing for his tournament life.
Giovanniello: 
Opponent: 
Giovanniello was looking to hold to stay alive, and he actually did a bit better as the 
flop improved him to a set. However, it also gave his opponent a gutshot Broadway draw to a jack.
Fortunately for Giovanniello, both the 
turn and 
river were safe and he shipped the much-needed double.

Williams Goes for the Double Check-Raise
Level 15
: 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
With around 35,000 in the pot and a flop of 
, Donald Williams checked from the small blind and Drew O'Connell bet 13,000 from middle position.
Williams woke up with a check-raise to 38,000 and O'Connell called to see the 
turn.
Williams returned to checking and O'Connell tossed out another bet, this time 50,000. Williams responded by check-raising all in for around 165,000 and O'Connell, who had 148,000 after his bet, shrugged and dropped in some chips.
Williams: 
O'Connell: 
Both players had flopped top pair but O'Connell's kicker had him way out in front. Williams was looking for a five to stay alive, but it was not meant to be as the 
bricked to send him to the rail.
