Golub Gets Lucky; Feenstra Busts Soon After

Level 21 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Rens Feenstra had 45,000 chips in front of him and it looked like Mark Golub raised to 100,000. Feenstra reraised all in and Golub called.

Golub: {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades}
Feenstra: {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}

Feenstra was in good shape on the {6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} flop and through the {10-Spades} turn but it was the {j-Hearts} river that would put a dent in Feenstra's stack and give Golub an above average stack.

Feenstra would not be able to recover from the loss and ended up busting a few hands later.

Level 21 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Bertenshaw Doubles

Level 20 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Alan Bertenshaw and his opponent had their chips in the middle preflop, although it was Bertenshaw who was at risk. Bertenshaw held {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} and was up against the {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts} of his opponent.

Bertenshaw found what he needed when the board ran out {10-Spades}{q-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{4-Spades} and gave him a much needed infusion of chips.
