"Eggcar" Wins Coin Flip
In Level 4 with blinds at 300/600 (75 ante), action folded around to "Eggcar" who raised to 1,200 from the button and "fishofewing" called from the small blind before "eddie11" squeezed for 22,702 from the big blind.
"Eggcar" called while "fishofewing" folded and the two players revealed their hands.
"Eggcar": 
"eddie11": 
It was a classic race with "Eggcar" ahead with their pocket queens but the 
flop was a favorable one for "eddie11" as it gave them more outs with the spade flush draw.
Unforturtley for "eddie11", the turn and river were both bricks 
, sending the pot over to "Eggcar".

In Level 5 with blinds at 400/800 (100 ante), "Camaron99" raised to 3,200 from the hijack and then called the 20,053 three-bet jam from "AgedCheese".
"Camaron99": 
"AgedCheese":
"AgedCheese" was crushed holding a pair of ladies and things got worse after a king appeared in the window on the 
flop.
The 
turn left "AgedCheese" drawing dead and the 
river secured the pot for "Camaron99".
