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.

Bohn's Poor Luck Continues

Level 6 : 400/800, 100 ante
Blake Bohn has been responding to his poor luck with sarcastic humor.
Blake Bohn has been responding to his poor luck with sarcastic humor.

Blake Bohn opened for 1,700 under the gun and found callers in Roger Martin (early position) and the small blind. Everyone checked the {5-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} flop, and an {a-Diamonds} hit the turn. Action checked to Martin, who bet 2,000, and Bohn tossed his call across the table to Martin, saying the pot was heading that way anyways. A {4-Hearts} completed the board, and Bohn checked before slapping 3,000 into the middle to call Martin's final bet.

Martin showed {a-Clubs}{2-Clubs} for a rivered wheel.

"I just had aces up," Bohn said, showing {a-}{5-}. "Love poker. Why wouldn't a four come?"
