"ULMFKR" Gets Short and Doubles

Level 6 : 700/1,400, 175 ante

Things went south pretty quickly for "ULMFKR" as they fired three barrels on a board of {q-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} to get called by David Coleman. "ULMFKR" tabled 5Ah10h] for trips tens but Coleman had the {k-Clubs}{7-Clubs} for a flush.

Joao Vieira then called a check-raise by "ULMFKR" on the {k-Spades}{10-Spades}{5-Spades} flop and they got it in after the {q-Clubs} turn.

Joao Vieira: {k-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}
"ULMFKR": {a-Spades}{5-Hearts}

The {k-Hearts} river further improved Vieira to a full house.

Just one hand later, "ULMFKR" got it in preflop with {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} against the {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} of Francisco "VaPaCooler" Benitez. The board came {q-Spades}{5-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{6-Spades} and the superior pair held up.
