Level: 6
Blinds: 200/400
Ante: 0
Joe Hachem was down to his last 2,000 chips and the 
flop was already out when we got to the table. The button had moved all-in for 1,500, the small blind raised, and Hachem committed his last chips from the hijack.
Joe Hachem: 
Button: 
Small blind: 
The button had the lead with two pair, and while Hachem was the only one with the nut-low draw, he needed help from the deck to win. The 
on the turn gave him some additional equity in the form of a gutshot Broadway draw and the 
river completed it, so he took the pot to triple up.

David "ODB" Baker acted first preflop and he kicked off with a raise to 700. Two players called him, the cutoff and the button.
Baker checked the 
texture and the cutoff fired 1,500. The player next to him folded but Baker slid forward a huge pile of chips, covering his opponent's remaining stack. It was an easy situation for Baker's rival who had a trey in his hand, tabling 
.
Baker trailed with 
and needed some backdoor help to scoop or at least get a chop. The turn gave Baker a low draw. He could scoop the pot with a queen or the last ace on the river, but the 
didn't improve Baker's hand so he had to concede 5,800 in chips.
