"sawyer2117" Ships a Double

Level 3 (125/250/30)

"AshyL4rry22" opened for 500 under the gun only to have "TightIsRight570" three-bet to 1,625 from middle position. "sawyer2117" then four-bet jammed for 4,910 from the cutoff and action folded back to "AshyL4rry22", who released. "TightIsRight570" called and the hands were turned up.

"TightIsRight570": {a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}
"sawyer2117": {q-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

The {10-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} flop gave both players a draw, and the {j-Spades} turn his "sawyer2117" by giving them a straight. "TightIsRight570" could still win with a diamond on the river, but it wasn't in the cards as the {k-Hearts} peeled off instead.

Big Slick Does Not Do the Trick for "Deuce9off"

Level 11 (600/1,200/150)

"RealizeRealLies" raised to 2,400 under the gun and "POTLORD420" called two spots over. "Deuce9off" then three-bet all in for 7,019 from the cutoff and action folded back to "RealizeRealLies", who called. "POTLORD420" did the same and the flop came down {j-Spades}{7-Hearts}{5-Spades}.

"RealizeRealLies" bet 4,800 and then called off the 15,869 behind when "POTLORD420" moved all in.

"POTLORD420": {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts}
"RealizeRealLies": {j-Clubs}{a-Spades}
"Deuce9off": {k-Spades}{a-Hearts}

The {2-Diamonds} appeared on the turn followed by the {4-Diamonds} on the river, which meant "RealizeRealLies" and "POTLORD420" chopped it while "Deuce9off" hit the rail.

Then, on April 5, it was settled on a $100 buy-in, $70K GTD when PokerStars PA Ambassador Jen "JenShahadePA" Shahade claimed the title and made headlines in the poker world.
