Back-to-Back Beats for Bill Edler

Bill Edler might not be able to properly enjoy his dinner thanks to the two hands that immediately preceded the break. After the player under the gun raised to 1,100, Jamie Rosen moved in his last 7,000 and Edler moved all in himself. The original raiser mucked and Edler's {A-Diamonds} {K-Hearts} had Rosen's {A-Spades} {J-Clubs} dominated. Right up to the point where the flop came {J-Clubs} {8-Hearts} {7-Spades}. Edler didn't catch a king and his stack slipped to 21,500 while Rosen doubled to 16,500.

On the very next hand, Edler and another player saw a flop of {J-Spades} {7-Diamonds} {Q-Spades} and all the money went in the middle. Edler's {Q-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds} had outflopped his opponent's {A-Hearts} {A-Spades} and after the {4-Diamonds} turned it looked like he'd win back the chips he just lost. But the river brought the {7-Spades}, pairing the board and giving the pot to his opponent. Edler's stack slipped to 17,500 as we reached the dinner break.
