Anthony Luong
Anthony Luong

The player under-the-gun opened to 4,000 and was called by Micahel Lerner just behind. Anthony Luong then shoved for his last 18,400 from the cutoff and only the original raiser called.

Anthony Luong: {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}{k-Hearts}{10-Spades}{9-Hearts}
Under-the-gun: {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{2-Spades}

The {9-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{q-Spades} runout kept Luong best with his cowboys and he doubled up.

Geissel Doubles Through Arnold

Level 7 : Blinds 600/1,200, 0 ante

Marc Geissel opened to 3,600 from the hijack and was called by the player in the small blind and Pearce Arnold in the big blind.

The flop came {k-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} and the small blind checked to Arnold, who led out for 10,800. Geissel called and the small blind folded.

Arnold bet 32,400 on the {7-Clubs} and Geissel again called.

The {5-Diamonds} filled the river and Arnold bet enough to put Geissel all in for his last 16,000. Geissel called and revealed {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{2-Clubs} for a rivered flush. It was good against the {k-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{8-Hearts} of Arnold for a lower flush and Geissel doubled up.

Four ways on a {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} flop, Taylor Lipson checked from the small blind and Nicholas Bond bet 12,000 from under-the-gun. Anthony Luong folded from the hijack, the player in the cutoff called, and Lipson folded.

The {9-Hearts} fell on the turn and Bond announced, "Pot," for a 37,200 bet, which was enough to put his opponent all in. The cutoff folded after a bit of deliberation and Bond showed a pair of aces as he collected the pot.
