You Called Me with THAT?!

"You called me with THAT!"
"You called me with THAT!"
Phil Hellmuth raised to 400 from the button and the big blind called. The flop was {9-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{4-Clubs}. Hellmuth led out for 500 and the big blind called. The turn was the {3-Spades}. Hellmuth bet 500 and the big blind called again. The river was the {7-Hearts}. Hellmuth checked and the big blind checked behind. Hellmuth showed K-9 for top pair, but the big blind turned over the lowly 3-6 for two pair.

Naturally, Phil was thrilled with his opponent's play.

Dan Alspach Wins Two Huge Pots

Nursing a short stack, Dan Alspach and two other players saw a flop of {K-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds}. The small blind checked and Alspach, in the big blind, bet 1450. The player UTG raised the pot and both the small blind and Alspach called. The small blind had {A-Clubs} {Q-Hearts} for the flopped straight, the UTG player had {10-Hearts} {10-Spades} for the set, and Alspach held {Q-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} for the flush draw. The {6-Diamonds} appeared on the turn and when the board didn't pair Alspach's flush tripled him up.

On the very next hand Alspach got all his chips in against the player who'd just lost with the set of Tens. This time he had pocket Queens, which didn't match up well against Alspach's pocket Aces. The board bricked out and, just like that, Dan Alspach is up to 17,100.
