"Can I Use My Lifeline?"

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

We didn’t see the original raise, but a player on the button re-raised a pre-flop bet to 3,150 only to have David Doremus go all-in from the big blind for a total of 19,375.

After hearing this, the woman on the button yelled out, “Ughhhh… where is my phone, I need to use my lifeline.”

She counted out her chips and then called, proudly slapping down {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts}. Doremus flipped over {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades} for the classic race situation.

The board ran out {Q-Spades}{2-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} to give Doremus the win.

The very next hand, the same two players went at it.

This time from the cutoff, the loser of the previous hand went all-in with {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs} for her last 2,700 and was called by Doremus with {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}.

The board read {6-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{3-Spades} and Doremus finished off the job, chipping up to around 42k.

Needless to say, she should’ve used her lifeline.
