Fielder Maintaining Stack Despite Doubling Another

Level 5 : 300/600, 75 ante

Don Angstead three-bet to 8,200 in the big blind after Jeff Fielder opened for 2,200 in the hijack. Fielder called, and the dealer fanned a {9-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} flop. Angstead shoved for 16,600, and Fielder called.

Angstead: {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}
Fielder: {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts}

Fielder found no improvement on the last two streets, but he's still hovering around the same stack despite losing some sizable pots recently.

William Givens sent Blake Bohn to the rebuy desk.

Blake Bohn, in early position, check-called a bet of 5,000 from William Givens after a flop of {5-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}.

"I hope you check the turn," Bohn said.

"I will," Givens replied as the {4-Diamonds} fell. The dealer then burned and turned the {3-Hearts}, and Bohn checked once more.

Givens put him all in for 15,000 or so, and Bohn thought briefly before announcing a call. Givens tabled {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts} for an overpair.

"It's good," Bohn said, tossing {a-Clubs}{5-Clubs} face up into the muck.

"Nice hand, sir," Alexander said, heading for the rebuy desk.

Dresch Doubles Through Fielder

Level 5 : 300/600, 75 ante

Jeremy Dresch opened for 1,400 in middle position, and Jeff Fielder raised to 3,000 from the next spot. Blake Bohn called on the button, and Dresch called as well.

Dresch checked to the raiser after the {8-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} flop, and Fielder fired 4,500. Bohn folded, and Dresch thought for about a minute before dropping all of his chips in the middle. Fielder beat him in there.

Fielder: {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}
Dresch: {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs}

Fielder had two overs and a flush draw, and he added a straight draw when the {7-Hearts} arrived on the turn. A {k-Hearts} river was a brick though, giving Dresch a double.

Breyfogle Doubles in Strange Pot

Level 4 : 200/400, 50 ante
Todd Breyfogle saw a lucky flop.
Todd Breyfogle saw a lucky flop.

According to a bystander, Todd "sharkslayerr" Breyfogle opened to 450 under the gun. The only problem was, since the big blind is currently 400, it was ruled a call. The small blind put 2,100 out there when action folded to him, and Breyfogle made the call to see a {k-}{7-}{5-}. The small blind checked, and Breyfogle bet 2,100. The small blind came back with 6,000, and Breyfogle shoved for approximately 22,000 and got called.

Small blind: {a-}{k-}
Breyfogle: {k-}{7-}

Breyfogle had outflopped his opponent with two pair, and the small blind failed to improve on the last two streets.
