One-Outer for Staats

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

On the {A-}{6-}{5-} flop, Christopher Staats and Aaron Clark bet and raised back and forth to get all of the money in for what would be a 700,000-chip pot. Clark had flopped top set of aces, and Staats flopped bottom set with pocket fives.

Thanks to a five on the turn, Staats made quads and he dodged the final ace on the river to double up in a big way.

Shortly after that, the two battled again, albeit in a much smaller way. On the {9-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{6-Clubs} flop, Staats bet 12,000, and Clark called to see the {5-Hearts} land on the turn. Staats bet 29,000, and Clark folded.

The river was the {3-Clubs}, and Fuhs checked. Rettenmaier tanked for a bit and then bet 56,000. Fuhs called.

Wang with the Better One-Pair Hand

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

After Michael Wang raised preflop from middle position and Tommy Vedes called out of the big blind, the dealer spread the {8-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{2-Clubs} flop. Vedes checked, Wang bet 20,000, and Vedes called.

The {10-Spades} came on the turn, and Vedes checked again. Wang upped his wager to 55,000, and Vedes made the call to leave himself with 152,000 behind.

The river was the {9-Diamonds}, and both players checked.

"One pair," announced Vedes before he turned up the {Q-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}.

Wang responded by tabling the {J-Clubs}{9-Hearts} for a better pair on the river, and he won the pot.
