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 {a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} flop and both players checked on the {3-Clubs} turn. Jekins led out for 6,000 on the {10-Spades} 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 {k-Spades}{4-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} runout and the cutoff tabled {8-Spades}{6-Spades} for eight-high. Jenkins revealed {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} for a pair of tens and dragged the pot.

Dickstein Catches Flush to More Than Double up

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

The player under-the-gun limped, Mark Dickstein limped behind, the player directly behind Dickstein also limped, then the button raised to 3,200. 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: {a-Hearts}{5-Hearts}
Under-the-gun: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}

Dickstein found himself dominated against a slowplayed big-slick, however, the {6-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{7-Clubs} runout provided Dickstein with a flush — more than doubling his stack.

Ron Hunt
Ron Hunt

Yaser Al-Keliddar shoved for a bit less than 30,000 from the hijack and was called by Ron Hunt in the small blind to be put at risk.

Yaser Al-Keliddar: {3-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}
Ron Hunt: {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}

The board ran out {j-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{j-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}, failing to improve Al-Keliddar and sending him back to re-enter, which he promptly did.
