Ryynanen Gets a Double

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 0 ante

With 17,600 in the pot, a player in middle position bet about 6,000 after one check and called the shove of Sampo Ryynanen, who had about 10,000 on the button. The flop had come {8-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}

Ryynanen: {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}
Opponent: {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{7-Spades}

Ryynanen improved slightly when the {6-Spades} game him a straight draw, and he hit it on the {4-Diamonds} river.

Suchanek Gets Two Streets

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 0 ante

Jan Suchanek bet an unknown amount with two T5,000 chips and got a call on a {7-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} flop. On the {5-Clubs} turn, he bet 20,000 from the button when his under-the-gun foe checked to him, and they saw a {5-Diamonds} river pair the board. The first player checked and Suchanek looked disgusted and checked. However, his opponent flicked {q-Spades}{7-Spades} into the middle for two pair, inferior to Suchanek's {k-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} for a flush.

Lakemeier Finds Another Double

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 0 ante

Jens Lakemeier was putting in a reraise to about 12,000 from the small blind when we got to his table, and he called off his 40,000 or so stack when his opponent on the button shoved.

Lakemeier: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{j-Hearts}
Opponent: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}

The {2-Spades}{5-Hearts}{j-Spades} flop brought Lakemeier some help, and the {a-Hearts} turn delivered more. The {5-Diamonds} river kept the aces up best.

Derwiche on Fumes After Calling Most of it Off

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 0 ante
Imad Derwiche
Imad Derwiche

Leo Nordin bet 10,000 from middle position on a flop of {k-Hearts}{8-Spades}{6-Spades} and Imad Derwiche called him from the cutoff. Nordin potted the {q-Diamonds} turn, which turned out to be for 33,200. That was nearly everything Derwiche had left, but he used a time extension and called anyway. On the {9-Clubs} river, Nordin bet the last 2,300 and Derwiche immediately folded.
