Raghavan Turns Nut Flush for Double Up, Cracks Ingram's Flopped Set

Level 6 : 200/500, 500 ante

A player from early position opened for 1,500 and Robert Ingram three-bet to 7,000 on the button. Action was on Ravi Raghavan who four-bet jammed for 33,500 from the small blind and was called by Ingram after the initial raiser folded.

Robert Ingram: {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}
Ravi Raghavan: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}

It was a classic race with Raghavan holding the two overcards to Ingram's pocket pair and the {6-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{8-Hearts} flop gave Ingram top set but Raghavan picked up the nut flush draw.

Raghavan got there on the turn with the {3-Hearts} and doubled up after the {10-Diamonds} river completed the board.

Gabriel Doubles Through Sladek with Pocket Sevens

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante

Jeffery Halcomb opened under the gun for 1,200 and Todd Sladek called from the cutoff. Action was on Thomas Gabriel who three-bet all in for 7,100 and was called by Sladek after Halcomb folded.

Thomas Gabriel: {7-Spades}{7-Diamonds}
Todd Sladek: {q-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

Gabriel was ahead with his pocket sevens but Sladek held two overcards as the flop fell {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{2-Spades}.

The {j-Hearts} turn added straight outs to Sladek's hand but he couldn't get there as the board completed with the {3-Clubs} river and Gabriel got a much needed double.
