Terik Brown checked from the small blind on a 
flop and Brandon Hall was next to act from the cutoff. Hall bet 6,500 and Brown called.
The turn was the 
and Brown checked again. Hall kept his foot pressed firmly to the metal and increased his bet size to 15,200. Brown called again. The fifth and final community card brought the 
into play and Brown instantly checked. Hall checked behind.
"Ace-high," said Brown.
Hall showed

David Schaerf has doubled through Antony Hallam in a battle of the blinds.
The action passed around to Schaerf in the small blind and he moved all in for 29,300 in total. Hallam decided to look him up and the cards were flipped onto their backs.
Schaerf: 
Hallam: 
Hallam caught a seven on the 
flop, but still needed more help from the board in order to prevent a double up for Schaerf. The 
on the turn gave Hallam outs to a straight, but the 
on the river improved Schaerf to an unnecessary set of nines and the double up was confirmed.
