Pair the Board!

[user101598]

Nghi Van Tran opened to 1,400 from middle position, Charles Flett called in the cutoff, and Paul Varano three-bet to 4,350 out of the small blind. Tran and Flett called.

The flop fell {2-Spades} {9-Spades} {7-Diamonds} , and Varano led for 7,150. Tran called, and Flett moved all in for 26,000. Varano re-jammed for around 54,000, and Tran snap-called.

The turn was the {8-Spades} , giving Flett a flush, and Tran yelled, "Pair the board! Pair the board!"

The dealer obliged, spiking the {7-Clubs} on the river to give Tran quads. Varano and Flett were eliminated, and Tran now has around 160,000 chips.

We don't know exactly how the action went, but we can surmise that a player in early position raised it up and Layne Flack moved all in for around 6,500 on top. The table folded around to the initial raiser and he made the call. Cards were flipped over and Flack found himself in a race situation.

Flack: {4-Hearts} {4-Clubs}
Opponent: {Q-Hearts} {j-Diamonds}

The board came {9-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} {5-Spades} {4-Spades} {10-Spades} and with the four on the turn Flack was guaranteed to double up, and now sits around 14,000.

Opposite Ends of the Scale for Eames and Lovgren

[user162117]

John Eames has had a fairly successful World Series of Poker so far, managing to cash four times, including a final table in Event 5: $1,500 Pot-Limit Hold'em. Sofia Lovgren has similarly cashed three times, including a deep run in Event 54: $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em. They are seated at the same table today, but their chip stacks are currently at opposite ends of the scale.

We recently caught up with the action on the river of {a-Spades} {2-Diamonds} {a-Hearts} {8-Hearts} {q-Hearts} board and with Lovgen leading out for 2,500 into Eames. After almost a minute, Eames let his hand go and left himself with under 10,000 in chips, while Lovgren managed to move above six-figures.

Sofia Lovgren	103,000 8,000	8,000

Ho in Profit Despite Loss

Happy_Freaked

Dutch professional Patrick Renkers just raised under the gun, and the action was folded to Maria Ho. Ho opted to three-bet to 3.300, and Renkers moved all in for 14.800. Ho snap-called, and both players turned over their cards.

Ho showed {A-Diamonds} {K-Clubs} , and was looking for some help against Renkers' {9-Spades} . The board ran out {4-Clubs} {4-Hearts} {5-Clubs} {5-Hearts} {3-Spades} , and Renkers doubled up.

Despite this small loss Ho is still in profit today, as she has one of the biggest stacks in the room.
