Another Double for Mikey

Mike Matusow just earned another double-up, this time courtesy of Yuval Bronshtein. Matusow made a pair of sixes for high and an 8-6 low while Bronshtein missed his low draw and had only a pair of fours for high.

Matusow is now up to 14,000 while Bronshtein is down to 17,000.

Straight Flush for Fricke

Jimmy Fricke began a hand with {A-Clubs} {5-Clubs} {4-Clubs} as action was capped three ways on third street. On fourth, he picked up the {3-Clubs}. More betting ensued before fifth street was dealt. Fricke landed his wheel when an offsuit deuce landed on his board. Fricke then hit the {6-Clubs} and finished things off with the {2-Clubs}. A straight flush from the ace to the six and the nut low was able to net Fricke a nice, big pot and move him up to 40,000 chips.

Fricke was also sure to remind us that he was recently down to 5,000 chips.
