Battle Wins the Battle

Level 4 : 200/400, 400 ante

Charles Battle limped in from the early position and Joseph Malebranche raised to 1,700 from the late position. Brandon Lewis called in the hijack and action folded back to Battle who made the call.

The flop came {k-Spades}{10-Hearts}{k-Clubs}, it was checked to Lewis who bet 3,000 which was called by both Battle and Malebranche.

They all checked through the {q-Clubs} on the turn to the {2-Diamonds} on the river. Battle bet 15,000 and Malebranche folded. Lewis took a few seconds and then folded too but showed the {10-Clubs}.

Ulish Doubles Through Lee

Level 4 : 200/400, 400 ante
Leonard Ulish
Leonard Ulish

Leonard Ulish raised to 800 from the middle position and was called by the player in the cutoff. Rickey Lee three-bet to 2,800 in the small blind. The big blind folded and Ulish four-bet to 8,000. The cutoff folded and Lee took some time before opting to make the call.

The flop came {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{9-Spades}, Lee checked, Ulish continued with a bet of 5,500, Lee raised to 14,500, and Ulish responded with a shove. Lee asked for a count and the dealer confirmed Ulish had 21,500 behind. Lee contemplated his options for a while and then put in the extra 7,000 needed to see the cards go on their backs.

Leonard Ulish: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}
Rickey Lee: {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}

The turn brought them the {3-Clubs} which didn't change things and neither did the {a-Hearts} as Ulish improved his already better hand to a set of aces to double up with.
