It Gives to You with One Hand Then Takes Away with the Other

MarcC

Ari Engel was very short-stacked and moved all in with A-10. He found a caller with A-Q but managed to spike his three-outer and double up.

The very next hand he found another A-10, and still being very short-stacked he moved all in again. This time he was in a better spot as his caller had 8-9. An eight on the flop changed all that though and Engel was busted at the death of play.

Long Think Before a Bad Call

MarcC

The river card had already been dealt and the board was {8-Hearts}

.

Ricky Sanders moved all in against his opponent, who tanked for three minutes before making a call with {6-Hearts}

for the rivered straight. Sanders flipped over {K-Hearts}

for the flopped flush.

The pot was huge and it put Sanders up to 75,000.
