The Lynch See-Saw

On a flop of {3-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}, Eric Lynch made it 800 to go in middle position and the player in the cut-off pushed all-in for a total of 1825. Lynch said as he thought, "There's too much money in the pot. I hope you didn't out-flop me. I call." Well Lynch hadn't been out-flopped. He had {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} and his opponent had {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}. His opponent, however did river him, when the turn came a {3-Clubs} and the river was the {A-Clubs}. At that point, Lynch was down to 775 chips.

On the very next hand, a player in mid-position calls, TJ Cloutier makes it 800 to go, another player makes it 2000 to go and Lynch calls all-in from the big blind. The original limper folds, TJ Cloutier pushes all-in for 3750 and the next player folds, leaving Lynch and Cloutier heads-up. Lynch's {A-Hearts}{8-Spades} was dominated by Cloutier's {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}. The board spiked an 8 and Lynch is back up to 2,535.
