Garles Spikes Lucky Lady to Double Through Opponent

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Tim Garles opened under the gun for 3,500 and a player in middle position three-bet to 10,500. Action on the table folded back around to Garles who called.

The flop fell {3-Clubs}{a-Spades}{2-Spades} and Garles check-called his opponents all in bet putting his stack at risk.

Tim Garles: {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}
Opponent: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}

Both players flopped top-pair but Garles was out-kicked and needed help.

The {9-Hearts} was not what Garles wanted as he called for a queen on the river and the dealer answered his prayer with the {q-Diamonds} securing his double-up worth 29,100.

Azim Ishanov
Azim Ishanov

After the player in the hijack raised to 3,000, Azim Ishanov three-bet jammed for approximately 18,000 from the button. Dennis Stevermer then shoved all in over the top from the big blind and the original raiser got out of the way.

Azim Ishanov: {k-Clubs}{10-Hearts}
Dennis Stevermer: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}

Ishanov was caught with his hand in the cookie jar and things didn't look good when the flop fell {2-Spades}{7-Clubs}{8-Hearts}. The {q-Clubs} turn saw Ishanov get out of his chair, but the {10-Clubs} river allowed him to sit back down as he spiked his kicker to ship the lucky double.
