Ali Sets Up Opponent for Big Double

Level 14 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Donald Ali

Three players each committed 35,000 preflop and saw a flop of {6-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}. Donald Ali was first to act and bet 40,000 from middle position, which his two opponents in the hijack and cutoff both called.

After the dealer burned and turned the {9-Hearts}, Ali bet 85,000 and left himself about 50,000 back. That drove out the player in the hijack but not the player in the cutoff, who wound up raising all in. Ali quickly called off his remaining stack and the hands were revealed.

Ali: {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs}
Cutoff: {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}

Ali had flopped a set and just needed to dodge a king on the river to stay alive. He did just that as the safe {10-Diamonds} peeled off to give him the double.

"Yes, finally," an excited Ali said as the dealer confirmed the stacks.

Chamani on the Right Side of the Cooler

Level 13 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Ronit Chamani
Ronit Chamani

A player in early position opened for 9,500 and Ronit Chamani three-bet jammed for 65,500 from middle position. The player in the cutoff then moved all in over the top for around 225,000, the button and blinds all folded, and the original raiser got out of the way.

Chamani: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}
Cutoff: {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}

"I feel a king coming," the player in the cutoff said confidently. It was misplaced hope however as the board instead ran out a kingless {9-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{9-Spades} to give Chamani the double.
