Emmel Runs into Sabogali's Quads

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Alberto Sabogali
Alberto Sabogali

Matthew Emmel raised to 6,500 from under the gun and was called by Alberto Sabogali on his left and the player in the small blind.

The flop came {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{3-Spades}, the small blind check-folded to the 8,000 bet of Emmel which Sabogali did call.

The turn was the {10-Spades}, Emmel put in 100,000 and Sabogali snap-called for the 61,000 he had behind and flipped over {9-Spades}{9-Hearts} for quad nines. Emmel held {k-Spades}{j-Spades} for the flush draw.

The river completed the board with the {3-Hearts} for Emmel to lose a chunk of his stack.

Hall Doubles Through Joseph

Level 13 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Galen Hall
Galen Hall

Jeremy Joseph raised to 6,000 from the early position and Galen Hall three-bet to 18,000 from the button. The blinds folded and Joseph called.

The flop came {5-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{7-Clubs}, Joseph check-called the 12,000 continuation-bet of Hall.

The turn brought them the {j-Clubs}, Joseph checked again. Hall bet 29,000 this time for Joseph to consider his options for a while before putting a big stack of 5,000-value chips over the line. Hall responded with a shove immediately for 140,500 which Joseph called.

Galen Hall: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Jeremy Joseph: {9-Spades}{8-Spades}

Hall had the overpair while Joseph was sitting on the double gutshot to a straight.

The river completed the board with the {j-Diamonds} to keep Hall ahead and double him up.
