Jenkins Takes Two Pots Back-to-Back
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
In the first hand, a player in the hijack opened to 2,700 and was called by Hunter Jenkins from the small blind.
Jenkins check-called a 3,200 bet from his opponent on the 
flop and both players checked on the 
turn. Jekins led out for 6,000 on the 
river, which got a quick fold from his opponent.
On the very next hand, the cutoff opened to 3,500 and Jenkins three-bet to 12,000 on the button. Action folded back to the original raiser, who made the call.
Both players proceeded to check down on the 
runout and the cutoff tabled 
for eight-high. Jenkins revealed 
for a pair of tens and dragged the pot.

: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

The initial limper called, and Dickstein then went all in for around 20,000. Action folded back around to the original limper, who called to put Dickstein at risk.
Mark Dickstein: 
Under-the-gun: 
Dickstein found himself dominated against a slowplayed big-slick, however, the 
runout provided Dickstein with a flush — more than doubling his stack.
