Izadi Finds the Right River For a Dub

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante
Hamid Izadi
Hamid Izadi

Four players saw a {7-Clubs}{8-Spades}{a-Spades} flop together, and action checked to Donnie Phan in the cutoff. Phan bet 1,500 into the 4,000 chip pot, and only Hamid Izadi called in the small blind.

Both players checked the {4-Hearts} turn, and the {6-Diamonds} fell on the river. Izadi led out for 3,700, and Phan raised to 9,000. Izadi shoved for 19,800, and Phan snap-called, tabling {5-Spades}{4-Spades} for a flush draw that hit a straight on the river. Izadi rivered the nut straight with his {10-Spades}{9-Diamonds}, however, and earned the double.

Heine Passionate About Beef Jerky, Sets

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante
Keith Heine
Keith Heine

A player limped in from early position, and Ricky Stinson raised to 2,000 in the hijack. The button called, and action folded to Keith Heine in the big blind.

"I give you beef jerky and you raise my big blind?" Heine said with a grin before calling, and the early-position limper called the raise as well.

Heine checked an {a-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{10-Spades} flop to the early-position player, who bet 5,000. Stinson folded, and the button called. Heine check-raised to 15,000, sending the early-position player deep into the tank. After a few minutes, he folded, and the button flashed the {a-Hearts} before folding as well. Heine tabled {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} for a set of tens, then raked in the pot.

Holliday Finds River Magic to Double

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

Jeremy Holliday in the small blind and Zaki Sheikh on the button got into a raising war on a {7-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{j-Clubs} flop, resulting in Holliday getting his last 30,200 in chips committed to the pot, and Skeikh putting him at risk.

Jeremy Holliday: {j-Hearts}{6-Hearts}
Zaki Sheikh: {q-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}

Holliday's kicker looked like it would cost him his tournament life after the {9-Spades} fell on the turn, but the {6-Diamonds} river gave him an unlikely full house and a double-up.

"I just keep folding big hands," Holliday told the table after the bad beat.

Keeling's Set Earns a Double

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

Robert Keeling had his last 22,800 at risk from middle position on a {4-Spades}{3-Spades}{a-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{7-Spades} board, and action was on Melissa Ey Smith in the hijack.

Smith looked over the 40,000 already in the pot for a few minutes, holding the amount to call in one hand as she did. Smith finally plunked down the chips into the pot to call, and Keeling tabled {4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} for a set of fours. Smith mucked and paid off the double to Keeling.

Tim Vance raised to 2,000 from the small blind, and Jimmy Bussey called in the big blind.

Vance bet 1,900 on the {3-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} flop, and Bussey called.

Vance bet 6,500 on the {10-Spades} turn, and Bussey announced, "All in."

"I hope you didn't flop a set on me!" Vance said before calling off his last 28,400.

Tim Vance: {k-Spades}{10-Clubs}
Jimmy Bussey: {10-Hearts}{3-Hearts}

Both players turned two pair, but Vance's top two earned the double after the {j-Clubs} fell on the river.
