"coles93" Doubles Through "mrblonde2020"

Blinds: 2,000/4,000

"coles93" raised to 8,000 under the gun, and "mrblonde2020" called next to act. They went heads up to a flop of {j-Hearts}{7-Spades}{4-Clubs}, and both players checked. The {2-Spades} turn saw "coles93" check to "mrblonde2020", who bet 14,026. "coles93" came back with a check raise to 36,000, and "mrblonde2020" called to see the {a-Diamonds} complete the board.

"coles93" kept his foot on the gas by shoving all in 53,000. "mrblonde2020" thought for a while before calling with just {5-Diamonds}{5-Spades}, and it was no good, as "coles93" had {k-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} for a better pair.

Lupo Extends His Chip Lead

Daniel Lupo
Daniel Lupo

Blinds: 2,500/5,000

Action kicked off with "epdawg5" raising to 10,000. Chip leader Dan "AvaGray" Lupo reraised to 25,000 on the button, and "epdawg5" called. The flop came {q-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}, and "epdawg5" checked to Lupo, who continued for 23,680. "epdawg5" shot back with a raise to 75,000, and Lupo called to see the {7-Hearts} hit the turn. "epdawg5" fired 64,000, leaving himself just 1,300 behind. Lupo called, and the {3-Clubs} completed the board.

"epdawg5" put his final few chips in, and Lupo called with {k-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}. His hand was good, as "epdawg5" showed {j-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for a monster draw, but lesser kicker on the jack.

With that pot, Lupo has nearly 900,000.

Double Up For "insatiabIe"

Blinds: 3,000/6,000

After a raise of 12,240 from "a240sx", "insatiabIe" moved all in for his final 70,000. Action folded back to "a240sx", and he made the call with {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}. He was flipping against the {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts} of "insatiabIe", and the sevens would hold on the flop of {k-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{3-Clubs}. However, the {a-Clubs} on the turn flipped the script, giving "insatiabIe" a big lead. The {q-Spades} river changed nothing, and he secured the double up.
