Caruso Doubles Through Sande

Level 25 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

A player in the hijack opened to 100,000 and Leonard Sande three-bet to 240,000 in the cutoff. Michael Caruso moved all in for 315,000 on the button and action folded to Sande who called, putting Caruso at risk.

Michael Caruso: {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Leonard Sande: {k-Hearts}{j-Spades}

The flop came down {10-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} and Sande picked up a straight draw. A {3-Diamonds} turn and {8-Clubs} river didn't change a thing as Caruso took down the pot with his ace-high, doubling through Sande.

Gelman's Big Slick is Better Than Praisman's

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Arie Praisman opened and Gary Gelman moved all in for 1,165,000. Praisman called and the two tabled their hands, revealing the same two cards.

Gary Gelman: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}
Arie Praisman: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}

The two players were almost guaranteed a split pot, but then the dealer spread out {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{6-Spades} on the flop and Gelman flopped a flush. A {k-Hearts} on the turn averted any possible straight flush outs and Gelman now had Praisman drawing dead to the {q-Hearts} river card. Gelman took down the pot for a complete double, moving him to the top of the leader board.
