Hold'em -

Allen Cunningham once again opens from middle position, putting it up to 8,000. Gabe Costner calls further down the line, and it comes around to David Bergerson in the cutoff seat. He makes a stand, reraising all in for his final 26,300 in chips. Cunningham folds, but Costner stays in and looks him up. The two men both turn over pocket pairs:

Costner: {7-Spades}

Bergerson: {J-Clubs}

The board fails to give Costner the help he wants, as it runs {2-Clubs}

. Bergerson's well-timed jacks win him a nice pot, keeping him alive and more than doubling him up to 64,000.

Hold'em -

Jonathan Depa starts the action with a raise to 8,000 from under the gun. Action folds around to Howard Lederer in the big blind, and he puts in a reraise to 25,500 with just 2,000 left behind it. Depa thinks for a minute and then slides in enough chips to put Lederer at risk. The hands are turned over, and both men shrug, seeming to know what the situation is well ahead of time.

Depa shows Howard his {A-Diamonds}
