Lahti Asks for a Board Pair, Gets It

Level 6 : 300/600, 600 ante

Andrew Smith and William Lahti got all of the chips in on a {5-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{8-Hearts} flop, and Lahti wasn't pleased when the cards turned over.

Andrew Smith: {q-Hearts}{j-Hearts}
William Lahti: {8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}

Lahti asked for the board to pair and got just that, as the turn was the {8-Clubs}. The full house left Smith drawing dead, and he headed to the exit after the {q-Diamonds} hit the board on the river.

Shortly thereafter, Lahti added even more to his stack, knocking a player out with {k-Spades}{q-Spades} against {10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} on a {10-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{j-Spades}{5-Spades}{a-} board. After hitting the river straight, Lahti is up to 53,000 chips.
