Guilford's Shouting From the Rooftops After a Double KO

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Timothy Guilford
Timothy Guilford

In a battle of the short stacks, Alexander Deutsch had his last 8,000 committed, and Andy Camou had his last 30,000 in preflop as well. Timothy Guilford, who barely had both players covered, called and had them at risk for both of their $500 bounties.

Alexander Deutsch: {6-Spades}{5-Spades}
Andy Camou: {a-Clubs}{4-Hearts}
Timothy Guilford: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}

"Five!" Camou and his rail shouted after the {j-Spades}{2-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} flop gave both he and Deutsch straight draws to crack Guilford's kings. No more help would come on the {9-Hearts} turn and {7-Diamonds} river, and Guilford stood on his chair and yelled "Let's go!" loudly after claiming the double KO.

Hill Gambles Right and Earns $1,000 in Bounties

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Lucas Hill

Rick Crandell jammed for 64,500 from middle position, and Jeff Nichols called off his last 12,000 in the small blind. Crandell then tabled his {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} before Hill could act in the big blind. Hill, armed with this information, elected to call.

Jeff Nichols: {8-}{7-}
Rick Crandell: {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}
Lucas Hill: {7-Clubs}{4-Clubs}

Crandell extended his lead on the {q-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} flop, but disaster hit on the {8-Clubs} turn, as Nichols had trips and Hill now held a flush draw. The {j-Clubs} river gave hill the flush, and he celebrated his double knockout by saying, "I told you I like to gamble!"

Scary Board Slows Down Deutsch, Guilford

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Alexander Deutsch opened to 8,000 from middle position, and Timothy Guilford called from the cutoff.

Both players checked the {5-Spades}{8-Clubs}{6-Hearts} flop, and Deutsch bet 8,000 on the {7-Hearts} turn, getting a call from Guilford.

Both players checked the {9-Hearts} river, with three hearts and a straight on the board. Deutsch showed {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}, but Gulford had the better of it with {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} for a set.

"Not on that flop," answered Deutsch.
