Parker Doubles Through Brunson

Level 17

Stud

Brock Parker completed with the {5-Diamonds} and then called when Todd Brunson raised with his {Q-Diamonds}. Parker then called bets on fourth and fifth, and Brunson bet on sixth. Parker tanked for a while before raising all in and Brunson called.

Parker: {k-Hearts}{k-Spades} / {5-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{9-Spades} / {a-Spades}
Brunson: {j-Hearts}{8-Hearts} / {q-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} / {9-Diamonds}

Brunson ended up with a measly pair of deuces, which meant Parker was able to double with his kings.

Does Glantz Really Got It?

Level 17

Omaha 8

From under the gun, Melissa Burr raised. John Hennigan called on the button, and Matt Glantz called from the big blind, allowing for three players to take the {K-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{6-Spades} flop. Glantz checked, Burr bet, Hennigan called, and Glantz called.

The turn was the {K-Spades} to pair the board, and Glantz checked. Burr bet, Hennigan called, and Glantz called.

After the {3-Hearts} completed the board, all three players checked.

"I got it," said Glantz, showing the {A-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{2-Hearts} for the nut low.

Glantz didn't have all of the pot, though, as Burr showed the {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{5-Clubs} for the high and let out a big sigh as Glantz's comment made her think he had it all. Hennigan mucked, and Glantz and Burr chopped it up.

Mercier Doubles Through Mosseri

Level 17

2-7 Triple Draw

Abe Mosseri raised from the button only to have Jason Mercier three-bet from the big blind. Mosseri pushed back with a four-bet, Mercier called, and it was off to the first draw. Mercier took one, Mosseri two, and then Mercier bet. Mosseri raised and Mercier called off his last 36,000.

Mercier stood pat on the second and third draw, while Mosseri drew two and one respectively. Mosseri was drawing to a 5-4-3-2 and got a {K-}, which meant Mercier's 8-6-5-4-3 low was good for the double.

Shack-Harris vs. Mercier

Level 17

Stud 8

Jason Mercier brought it in with the {5-Diamonds} and then called when Brandon Shack-Harris completed with the {Q-Clubs}. Shack-Harris proceeded to check-call bets on every street and then the cards were turned up.

Shack-Harris: {q-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{10-Clubs} / {q-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}
Mercier: {5-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{6-Hearts} / {9-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}

Mercier made an eight-six low, which gave him the low. Shack-Harris then showed queens for the high. Chop it up.
