Ross Survives

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

"East Coast" Mike Ross put in his last 5,100 on a board of {6-Spades}{8-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}, and an opponent who had checked from early position made what was clearly a crying call after about a minute. Ross turned over {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds} and had the player with {9-}{9-} crushed. The river was the {7-Diamonds}, and Ross doubled up.

"Better to Be Lucky Than Good" for Lang

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

After an early limp, Mike Lang made it 1,200 to go and got two callers, the small blind and the limper. The {8-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{9-Spades} flop prompted a couple of checks, and Lang bet 3,000. The small blind called, and the limper jammed for 9,850. Lang thought a bit and reshipped. The small blind got a count but folded.

Lang: {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}
Small blind: {9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}

Lang needed help against the two pair, and running {10-Hearts}{10-Spades} gave it to him for jacks up.

"Better to be lucky than good," he said.

Lang booked a pair of runner-up finishes in 2014 on the Mid-States Poker Tour, each worth north of $60,000.
