Idema Stacking Early

Level 6 : 150/300, 0 ante

Daniel Idema bet on fourth street with the community reading {3-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} after one player checked. A player behind him called, and the first player folded. A {k-Diamonds} completed the board, and both players checked.

"Two pair," Idema said, tossing out {9-Hearts}{3-Hearts} along with {2-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}.

"Can't beat it," Idema's opponent regretfully said.

Seth Goes Runner-Runner for More Than Half

Level 6 : 150/300, 0 ante

A player bet the turn with a board of {5-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{2-Spades}{6-Diamonds}; Andy Seth and Gennady Shimelfarb made the call. The river brought a {j-Spades} and another bet from the aggressor, and Seth considered for a bit before calling. Shimelfarb quickly called as well.

Seth: {a-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{6-Spades}
Shimelfarb: {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}{9-Spades}{3-Spades}
Third player: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{3-Clubs}

Everyone had identical nut lows, but Seth had runnered two pair to grab the high.
