[user22113]

Just before the redraw, Mike Leah doubled up through Tim Kelly. The board read {5-Clubs}

and Leah check-raised all in from 35,500 to 119,500 total. After a long tank, Kelly called with {K-Diamonds}

and was leading Leah's {4-Diamonds}

. Unfortunately for Kelly, the turn and river came {4-Hearts}

and

as Leah made a winning straight.

Mike Leah is now back to 250,000 roughly while Tim Kelly takes a big hit down to about 40,000.

Matros Runs Into Walls

[user66118]

Before the flop, Michael Walls came in with a raise from the button. Matt Matros gave him action from the small blind, and it was heads up to the flop.

The dealer ran the first three community cards: {3-Diamonds}

. Matros checked, and Walls kept the pressure on with a bet of 13,000. Not to be deterred, Matt Matros put in a check-raise to 45,000. Without much delay, Walls moved all in for a total of 84,000. His opponent didn't like it, but he was priced in and made the call.

Showdown:
Walls: {8-Clubs}

Matros:

The turn and river failed to help Matros, as the {2-Clubs}

and

completed the board. He sends a good chunk of his chips over to the adjacent seat, and Michael Walls has doubled his way up to 195,000.
