Hand #129: Sokoloff received a walk.

Hand #130: Prada-Moed raised to 80,000 and Sokoloff moved all in for 700,000. Givens asked for a count and then moved all in himself. Prada-Moed folded and we went to yet another classic race.

Givens: {6-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}

The {4-Clubs}{8-Spades}{J-Spades} flop brought no change but Sokoloff picked up a few more outs with the {J-Diamonds} turn. Indeed, the {8-Hearts} river would pair the board and his ace kicker won the pot.
