After an early-position open to about 900, Scott Dougherty made it 1,700 to go from the cutoff. Herb Laney repopped to 4,000 on the button, and the original raiser folded. Dougherty came back with 5,000 more, and Laney quickly called. After the ![]()
![]()
flop, Dougherty shoved all in, and Laney got a count: 25,775.
"I'll show ya," Dougherty said. "I guarantee I'm ahead."
"Boy, I wish I didn't have such a good hand," Laney responded.
Eventually, he made the call.
Laney: ![]()
Dougherty: ![]()
Dougherty's guarantee proved correct, and he faded the few outs Laney had as the
and
harmlessly double-paired the board.

Phil Mader bet 1,500 on a board of ![]()
![]()
![]()
from the small blind, and his opponent seemed to think for a bit before making it 4,000 from under the gun. Mader wasted little time calling, and a
hit. Mader checked, and his opponent bet 5,000.
"I guess you have a set of eights?" Mader said before making the call.
He was way off, as his opponent showed ![]()
for bottom pair, which Mader's ![]()
for two pair easily beat.
