Hand #149-- Jeff Williams Doubles Up Through Peter Gould

Michael Banducci limped on the button, Jeff Williams moved all in from the small blind, Peter Gould called and Banducc got out of the way.

Gould had Williams covered and Williams' {A-Hearts} {9-Hearts} and was racing against Gould's {5-Hearts} {5-Clubs}. The flop came {7-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds}, giving Williams the lead and Gould an inside straight draw. The {9-Spades} hit on the turn, giving Williams trips but not really changing the situation, and on the river the {3-Spades} hit, giving Williams the hand and crippling Gould.

Hand #152-- Peter Gould Doubles Through Jeff Williams

Williams moved all in from the small blind and Gould called from the big. Williams held {K-Spades} {4-Spades} and Gould had the exact same hand he had in their last confrontation-- {5-Hearts} {5-Clubs}.

The flop came {10-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} {J-Hearts}, no real help. The turn was the {J-Spades}, opening the possiblity that Gould's pair of Fives could be counterfeited, and on the river the {9-Hearts} hit, giving Gould the pot and a much-needed double-up. He's back up over 1 million in chips.
