Pingel Puts a Beat on Small

Level 17 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Sean Small opened to 20,000, and Brian Pingel shipped all in for 94,000 in the big blind. Small called, tabling {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}. Pingel needed help with {a-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}, but help he got when {j-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} flopped. An {a-Clubs} on the turn left Small drawing to one out, and the {9-Clubs} river wasn't it.

Holloway Shows Down a Set

Level 17 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Bobby Rooney opened to 20,000 under the gun, and Chad Holloway in middle position was the only caller. The players took in a scary-looking flop of {9-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{j-Hearts}. Rooney checked, Holloway bet 28,000, and Rooney called. The turn brought the {a-Hearts}, and Rooney once again checked. This time, Holloway checked behind him. The river was a {2-Hearts}, and Rooney came out betting with 40,000. Holloway called immediately. Rooney turned over {A-Clubs}{j-Clubs} for top two pair, but Holloway's {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts} was best for three of a kind.
