Thomas Savitsky Catches a Miracle on the River

[user22113]

After John MacCarthy limped Thomas Savitsky raised the pot and MacCarthy re-raised, putting Savitsky all-in. Savitsky called and turned over pocket tens, only to find MacCarthy had trapped with Kings. The flop came A-5-A with another five on the turn, but down to two outs, Savitsky spiked a ten to suck out and stay alive.

Eric Lynch Tangles with Jon Friedberg

[user22113]

And comes out the winner. After Lynch raised to 16,000 Friedberg re-raised to 35K. Lynch raised the pot, another 100K, leaving him with just 2,000 behind. Friedberg lined up his chips, put his hands around them and squeezed them tight like he was about to push them forward...and mucked.

"You have tens?" Lynch asked.
"You have nines?" Friedberg replied.
