Rock Finds a Double

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Ben Rock went all in from the hijack and action folded around to the small blind, who asked for a count. The number was totaled to be 12,600 and a call was announced.

Ben Rock: {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}
Small Blind: {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

Rock was way out in front and improved from there as the flop fell {9-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{2-Clubs} to give him top pair, top kicker. He then found himself needing to fade running jacks or running Broadway cards, and the turn {j-Spades} gave him a sweat at a two outer on the river. However, the river {4-Hearts} was clean and he held to secure the double.

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Dan Dombrowski
Dan Dombrowski

Players are on their third 10-minute break of the night.

Shortly before the break, action folded around to Dan Dombrowski who pumped it up to 2,600 from the small blind. Ahmed Taleb was in the big blind and defended.

The flop dropped {9-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{j-Spades} and Dombrowski made a continuation-bet of 2,100. Taleb raised to 6,500 and Dombrowski thought for about 20 seconds before putting out calling chips.

Both players checked the turn {5-Hearts} to bring the river {7-Diamonds}. Dombrowski sat for a bit and then put out a bet of 10,700. Taleb quickly called.

Dombrowski tabled {a-Clubs}{7-Clubs} for a rivered two pair and Taleb mucked, shaking his head as he did so.

Dedric Henderson
Dedric Henderson

An early-position player opened to 2,200 and action folded around to Dedric Henderson, who three-bet to 9,000 out of the big blind. The player shoved all in and Hudson quickly called.

Early Position: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Dedric Henderson: {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}

The board ran out {6-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}, giving Henderson a small sweat on the turn when his opponent picked up a draw to Broadway. The clean river completed the runout and the dealer broke down stacks.

The early-position player's stack was counted to be 18,400 and Hudson's was totaled to be 20,400, leaving the early-position player dry on chips as the pot was sent Henderson's way, effectively giving him a full double to reach an even two stacks of chips.
