Davis Defeats Dick to Double

Kirk Brown

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Craig Dick opened to 5,000 preflop and was called only by Marquez Davis in late position to see the flop of J♣5♠3♣.

Dick then continued for another 5,000 and Davis responded by moving all in for 7,900 total. Dick quickly made the call and Davis flipped over 8♠8♥ for a pair of eights.

"Well, this is funny," Dick chuckled to himself as he flipped over 7♦7♣ for an inferior pair.

The board ran out 9♣9♦ for Davis' eights to hold and the pot was pushed his way for the double-up.

Big Hold for Hinkle

Kirk Brown

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

After an open to 6,000 from Melissa King and a call from the button, Blair Hinkle moved all in from the big blind for around 32,000.

King made the call to put him at risk and the button payer thought about it for a few seconds but ultimately decided to let it go as King and Hinkle tabled their hands.

Blair Hinkle: 10♠10♥
Melissa King: A♠J♦

Lucky for Hinkle, the board ran out 7♦7♥3♦4♦9♥ for his pocket tens to hold and he was awarded the pot for a successful double-up.

Pigago Felt it Coming

Kirk Brown

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

After a preflop chip battle, Daniel Pigago moved all in for around 35,000 and Beau Wilshire made the call to put him at risk.

Daniel Pigago: A♦K♥
Beau Wilshire: K♦10♦

"Ehh, I dunno, I'm not really feeling this one," Pigago told tablemate Blair Hinkle.

The flop came out 7♣2♠9♣ and the turn was safe with the 3♠, but the river was the dagger when it fell the 10♣ to send him to the rail.
