Ungurean Triples

Mike Ungurean just tripled up by making a heart flush against two opponents, Christopher George and Joseph Esposito.

George: (x)(x) / {A-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} / (x)
Ungurean: (x)(x) / {K-Hearts}{8-Spades}{5-Hearts}{2-Hearts} / (x)
Esposito: (x)(x) / {J-Hearts}{A-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{8-Clubs} / (x)

We picked up the action on fifth street where Esposito bet and George raised. Ungurean called all in for 1,500 and then Esposito called the raise to see sixth street. On sixth, Esposito check-called another bet from George before both of them checked seventh street.

For the side pot, George showed {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} for a pair of aces. Esposito showed {J-Spades}{6-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} for a pair of jacks. George won the side pot, but then lose to Ungurean's flush as he showed the {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{8-Hearts} from his down cards.

Duhamel Folds to Welch

Jonathan Duhamel was just forced to give one up to Jeffery Welch after folding on sixth street despite having a paired board.

Duhamel: (x)(x) / {6-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{J-Hearts} - fold
Welch: (x)(x) / {6-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{A-Spades}{7-Diamonds}

Welch was the one who fired the bet on fourth street when we picked up the action and Duhamel called. On fifth street, Duhamel showed he best hand with a pair of fours and fired a bet. Welch called. Duhamel bet again on sixth, but this time Welch raised. Duhamel took a minute to think and then folded his hand.
