Monaghan Flips His Way to a Double

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Michael Monaghan jammed for 9,000 from under the gun, and was called by an opponent in middle position.

Michael Monaghan: {a-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Opponent: {7-Clubs}{7-Spades}

Monaghan stood up before the {9-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{3-Diamonds} flop could fall, giving him top pair and leaving his opponent drawing to two outs to score the knockout. The {5-Hearts} turn added a gutshot to Monaghan's opponent, but the {j-Spades} river bricked off to give Monaghan a needed double.

Sanchez Gets a Double KO

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Sley Sanchez raised to 3,000 from under the gun, and was met with a three-bet shove for 28,300 from a player in middle position. The button called off for slightly less, and once action got back to Sanchez, he wasted little time in making the call.

Middle Position: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
Button: {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}
Sley Sanchez: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}

Sanchez found a dream flop, as the {6-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} flop brought him top pair and the nut flush draw. The {q-Clubs} turn and {5-Diamonds} river left Sanchez with the nut flush and sent two opponents to the rail.

Saleh Catches Another Bluff

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Yousef Saleh bet 3,000 from the small blind into a pot of around 9,000 on a {5-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{2-Spades} board, and was met with a shove for around 20,000 from the button. Saleh confirmed the amount, then called.

Opponent: {k-Spades}{10-Clubs}
Yousef Saleh: {a-Hearts}{9-Spades}

Saleh needed to dodge six outs to score the knockout, and the {q-Clubs} river secured the elimination, as Saleh soars over 150,000 with just a few minutes remaining before the dinner break.
