Cho Doubles With Sixes

Brandon Bloom

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Arden Cho raised from the cutoff, William Te three-bet from the small blind, and Cho four-bet jammed for 11,800. Te called.

Arden Cho: 6♠6♦
William Te: A♣K♥

The two were racing as the J♦10♥4♠ flop gave Te additional outs with a Broadway draw. The 2♥ turn and 9♠ river bricked out, however, and Cho secured the double with her sixes.

The board read K♠3♣5♦4♠3♠. Ostapchenko held the 7♠6♠ for the flush while Mcleskey had the A♠5♠ for the nut-flush to double up with when all the chips went in on the river.

Lazrus More Than Doubles

Shirley Ang

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

The flop read J♠3♦9♠ and it was checked to Brian Battistone on the button who bet 800. Zong Soh made the call from the small blind but Daniel Lazrus raised it up to 3,800 from the hijack. Both Battistone and Soh made the call.

The turn was the 10♥ and it was checked to Battistone again. He bet 25,000 for Soh to think about it. He folded but Lazrus decided to make the call for the 21,100 he had behind.

Daniel Lazrus: Q♦10♦
Brian Battistone: 10♠7♠

They had both turned a pair of tens but Lazrus was ahead with the queen-kicker.

The river completed the board with the 6♥ for Lazrus to stay ahead and more than double up.
