Barlow Doubles

Level 7 : 300/600, 75 ante

Lou Barlow shoved all in for 10,250 in middle position after an opponent under the gun fired 2,400 on a {10-Spades}{5-Hearts}{6-Hearts} flop. The under-the-gun player called after some thought with {j-Hearts}{9-Hearts} but he was a mile behind Barlow's {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts}. The turn and river were bricks and Barlow doubled up.

Calderaro Doubles Through Baker

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

We found James Calderaro and David "ODB" Baker getting it all in preflop with Calderaro at risk for 16,550 on top of the 3,600 each had committed to put a short-stacked player at risk.

Baker: {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}
Calderaro: {a-Hearts}{8-Hearts}
Third player: {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

Calderaro declared he had the nuts. The board of {10-Spades}{5-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{q-Hearts} actually sent the main pot to the short-stacked player, but Calderaro doubled through Baker in the bigger side pot.

Kelly Minkin

We found Kelly Minkin on the button and all in for 9,700 more after facing a bet of 3,500 on a board of {q-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{6-Clubs}. Her opponent who had fired the bet announced a call, and Minkin tabled {8-Spades}{7-Spades} for a combo draw. Her opponent had {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}, and Minkin hit both of her draws on the {4-Spades} river. As Minkin told it, four players had seen the flop for 900 apiece and the flop bet had been 2,500 from the player with ace-king.
