Stokes Can't Put Away Flack

From the button, Layne Flack made the minimum raise up to 2,000. Jamin Stokes moved all in, and Flack snap-called, pushing his final 22,000 chips into the middle to put himself at risk.

Showdown
Flack: {A-Clubs} {J-Diamonds}
Stokes: {A-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds}

The board ran out {6-Hearts} {7-Hearts} {J-Hearts} {A-Spades} {5-Diamonds}, and Flack's two pair was plenty good to earn him the pot and a big double up to 44,000. He's still trailing the 76,000 of his opponent though.

Great Scott! Fischman Advances

We pick up a pot on the flop over at the Scott table. The board shows {2-Clubs} {3-Hearts} {10-Diamonds}. Scott Montgomery checked it, and Scott Fischman put out a bet of 2,200. Montgomery raised it up to 5,500, and his opponent called.

Fourth street would bring the {7-Diamonds}. Montgomery fired out 6,000 chips now with the betting lead. Fischman raised to 50,000, and Montgomery made the call to put his tournament life in danger.

Montgomery tabled {7-Spades} {9-Spades} for second pair, but Fischman was unimpressed, turning over the ole {7-Hearts} {2-Hearts} for two pair. The river was a blank {6-Spades}, and Scott Fischman has taken care of Scott Montgomery.
