Wahdan Gets a Lucky Turn

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

We found Nader Wahdan in the cutoff calling a bet of 7,000 after a {k-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{3-Clubs} flop. The {6-Diamonds} arrived on the turn, and the aggressor shoved all in. Wahdan called.

Wahdan: {6-Clubs}{6-Spades}
Opponent: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

Wahdan had his opponent dead, and an {8-Clubs} completed the board.

"What are you calling with?" the player with ace-king asked angrily.

"I didn't think you had it!" Wahdan exclaimed.

"When have I not had it all day?" the player spat as he walked away.

Hudson's Gift Proves to be a Curse

Level 6 : 400/800, 100 ante
Dave Orvis busted out on a semi-bluff.
Dave Orvis busted out on a semi-bluff.

Three players checked to Blake Bohn on the button after a {7-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} flop, and he bet 2,000. Adam Hudson called from under the gun, and Dave Orvis called after another player folded. An {8-Clubs} hit the board, and Orvis put his last 6,000 or so in after Hudson checked. Bohn shook his head and folded, while Hudson thought for a bit before calling.

"My gift to you," he said as he put his chips in.

Hudson: {8-Hearts}{3-Hearts}
Orvis: {10-Hearts}{7-Hearts}

Turned out, Hudson was ahead with his pair of eights. The river bricked out with the {k-Clubs}, and Hudson collected the stack of Orvis.
