Enright Rivers Better Boat

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

With about 30,000 in the pot and a board of {5-Spades}{6-Hearts}{6-Spades}{7-Clubs}, John Enright had all his 23,000 chips committed to the pot. The middle position player called, and so did the cutoff player.

The river was the {k-Hearts} and after the middle position player bet, the cutoff player folded and showed {a-Spades}{8-Spades}.

John Enright: {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}
Middle Position: {7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}

The middle position player turned a boat but Enright found a king on the river for a better boat to stay alive and triple up.

Askey Sits Down and Flushes

Level 10 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Anthony Askey

Anthony Askey had just sat down at his table and was all-in and looking to double.

Anthony Askey: {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
Opponent: {9-}{9-}

The board ran out {9-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{6-Spades}{8-Hearts}{7-Hearts} to give Askey a double-up in an unlikely fashion after getting the chips in what looked to be a simple coin flip.

Lecardonnel Rivers Flush Over Straight

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Fabien Lecardonnel recapped some of the action. A player in middle position raised to 4,500 preflop and Lecardonnel called.

The flop was {5-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{10-Spades} and Lecardonnel called a pot-sized bet.

Both players checked the {9-Spades} turn and the {8-Spades} came on the river. The middle position player bet 15,000 and Lecardonnel jammed for 70,000. His opponent called and hands were revealed.

Fabien Lecardonnel: {q-Spades}{3-Spades}
Middle Position: {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}

Fabien Lecardonnel had the best of it with a flush over a straight and the dealer sent the pot his way.
