Dolliver with the Unlikely Double

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Ronald Dolliver limped from early position and Jonathan Bodden and Max Pescatori also limped from the button and small blind respectively. Jason Helder moved all in from the big blind and only Dolliver made the call.

Dolliver: {a-Spades}{10-Spades}
Helder: {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}

The flop was {8-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{k-Clubs} and Helder was way ahead with a set of kings. The turn was the {j-Clubs} and Dolliver started calling for another club. Instead, the river was the {7-Hearts} and gave Dolliver the winning straight.

Mattern Scores a Knockout

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Arnaud Mattern defended his big blind against the raise from a player in early position and saw the {K-}{7-Hearts}{9-Hearts} flop. His opponent made the continuation bet and Mattern pushed him all in for about 30,000 in total. The opponent called with {K-}{J-}, but was in bad shape against the {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} of the Frenchman.

Both the turn and river blanked and Mattern is close to six digits.

Givens with Expensive Move

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

In a battle of the blinds, we saw Will Givens and Derek Wolters in a rather innocent-looking pot at first. On the {2-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{K-Clubs} flop, the action escalated with a betting war, and Givens had put his opponent all in. Wolters called for his last 42,000 and Givens asked, "Did you flop it?"

Wolters didn't have the flush - only {K-Spades}{8-Diamonds} - but he was still ahead versus the {10-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} of Givens. The {4-Hearts} turn and the {4-Diamonds} river then sealed it, putting a big dent into the stack of Givens.

"Wow, that was an expensive one," he said.
