Double Down

Jan Von Halle did the nice thing and doubled an opponent up. The flop was {Q-Hearts} {10-Hearts} {K-Spades} and Von Halle bet 8,000 to set his opponent in. His opponent tanked for a long time before making the call with {A-Hearts} {A-Spades}. Von Halle was behind with his {A-Clubs} {Q-Spades} but had outs as we went to the {6-Clubs} turn and {6-Hearts} river.

None of them came but Von Halle is still on 16,500.

No Badbeat For Channing

Neil "Badbeat" Channing
Neil "Badbeat" Channing
Neil Channing has just doubled up to around 29,000. Pretty straightforward this one. It all went in preflop with Channing holding pocket aces to his opponent's ace-king. You already know the rockets hold to leave Channing feeling a lot more comfortable.

He's a Saul Man

Four players were in to see a {Q-Hearts} {5-Spades} {10-Spades} flop. It's checked to a player in the cut off who bet 1,200 and only Kevin Saul calls before the turn came {2-Spades}. Saul check-calls a 1,200 bet this time before check raising the player all in on the {10-Hearts} river.

Saul's {10-Clubs} {8-Clubs} no good against his opponent's flush with {A-Spades} {9-Spades}. He's still on 21,000 though.

Mizzed the Under Pair

Sorell Mizzi has just been crippled. There was an all in raise of over 6,000 in front of him and after some deliberation he moved all in as well. Everyone else folded and Mizzi tabled {9-Diamonds} {9-Clubs} but was behind to his opponent's {A-Diamonds} {A-Hearts}. The board ran {K-Spades} {3-Diamonds} {3-Spades} {J-Spades} {K-Hearts} to leave Mizzi with 1,600.

He was out a few hands later when his pocket sixes couldn't stand the heat of an opponent's ace-jack when a jack fell on the flop.

Card Jacked

Big stack at his table, Daniel Makowsky has just eliminated a player. He raised from EP before and a short stacked player at the other end of the table pushed. He called with {J-Spades} {J-Hearts} and saw he was up against {3-?} {3-?}.

The board ran {9-Spades} {8-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} {2-Spades} {K-Spades} to bust the short stack and elevate Makowsky up to 52,000.
