McKeehen Turns Ace to Crack Cowboy's; Doubles Through Petten

Level 4 : 100/200, 200 ante

Joe McKeehen opened for 600 from the cutoff and was called by Paul Petten on the button. Action folded around to the big blind player who three-bet to 3,300 and he was called by McKeehen. Petten four-bet to 13,500 sending the big blind player into the tank and after using an extra 30-second time card, mucked his hand. Action was back on McKeehen who jammed for roughly a 30,000 starting stack and was called by Petten.

Joe McKeehen: {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Paul Petten: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}

McKeehen was behind and nothing changed after the {7-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{9-Spades} flop.

The turn however, fell the {a-Hearts} giving McKeehen the lead but Petten picked up the nut flush draw.

McKeehen needed to dodge any heart or king on the river and did as it fell the {7-Clubs} giving him the double-up.

Level 4 : 100/200, 200 ante

Arkadiy Tsinis raised to 600 from the hijack, the button called and Blake Battaglia three-bet to 2,200 from the small blind. Tsinis and the button both called.

Battaglia fired out a continuation bet of 3,700 when the flop came {9-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{2-Spades}. Tsinis moved all in for 17,800, the button folded and Battaglia had to give it some thought before he tossed in the chips to call.

Blake Battaglia: {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}
Arkadiy Tsinis: {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}

Battaglia was ahead but needed to dodge many cards heading to the turn and river. The board completed {q-Hearts} and {3-Hearts} to send Tsinis to the rail.
