Dolan Loses Consecutive All Ins

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Stephen Tomlinson
Stephen Tomlinson

Steven Christopher was all in from the big blind on the 3972 turn, at risk against Brandon Dolan in early position.

Steven Christopher: 33 All in
Brandon Dolan: 1010

Christopher's flopped set held through the [8 river, doubling up while leaving Dolan with just 7,100 chips.

Dolan then shoved the very next hand from under the gun before Charles Smith three-bet to 17,000. Action folded to Stephen Tomlinson in the big blind, who announced all in for 37,800. Smith snapped it off, and all three hands were tabled.

Brandon Dolan: KQ All in
Stephen Tomlinson: AA All in
Charles Smith: KK

Dolan was caught by a classic aces versus kings situation, but picked up the only flush draw after the 4610 flop and 3 turn.

The table watched as the 7 hit the river, leaving Tomlinson's aces in front to more than double while sending Dolan out before break.
