Doubling Dohnert

[user66118]

We can't quite tell what the betting action was, but when we walked up to the table, big blind Samuel Miller had 50,000 chips out in front of him, and the player under the gun, Florian Dohnert had moved all in for 312,000 total. As we walked up, Miller made the call with the covering stack.

"Ugh, you must have me," lamented Dohnert. But the news wasn't so bad. He showed up {J-Hearts}

, and he was flipping for his tournament life against Miller's {A-Hearts}

.

Dohnert was a slight favorite, and he would stay well out in front on a clean board of {2-Clubs}

. That doubles him all the way up to 631,500, while Dohnert drops to 220,000.

, but then said, "Oh," when the {10-Hearts}

dropped on the turn. FOllowing the {K-Clubs}

river, he doubled to around 350,000.

Toth's Loss is Gaines' Gain

Mickey Doft

Richard Toth raised to 18,000 on the button and Lee "Bill Ivey" Gaines re-raised to 55,000 in the small blind. The big blind folded and Toth immediately went all in. Gaines called all in for 242,000 with {A-Clubs}

, leading Toth's {A-Hearts}

.

The board rolled out {3-Hearts}

and Gaines is up to 500,000. Toth takes a hit down to 630,000.

Hougaard Humbled

Mickey Doft

Jesper Hougaard put in a raise from the button to 16,000 and was called by Paul Valkenburg in the big blind.

The flop came down {7-Diamonds}

and Valkenburg checked. Hougaard bet 21,000 and was raised to 55,000 by Valkenburg. Hougaard studied his opponent for two minutes and moved all in. Valkenburg immediately called all in for 252,000 with {5-Spades}

and had Hougaard's {J-Clubs}

needing a nine for a straight.

Turn: {2-Hearts}

River:

Hougaard is down to 80,000 while Valkenburg soars to 550,000.
