Finger Sends One to the Rail

Level 3 : 75/150, 25 ante

With a little over 5,000 in the pot already, the dealer spread the flop of {9-Clubs}{7-Spades}{4-Clubs}. Martin Finger was in the small blind and heads-up with an opponent under the gun. Finger checked to his opponent who bet 5,000 only to have Finger check-raise all in. His opponent called off his last 15,100 chips and the cards were tabled.

Martin Finger: {a-Clubs}{2-Clubs}
Opponent: {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}

Finger had an overcard and a flush draw against his opponent's pocket pair. The {9-Diamonds} on the turn changed nothing but the {a-Diamonds} on the river gave Finger the best hand with two pair, aces and nines.

Nguyen on the Right Side of a Cooler

Qui Nguyen

Action was on the flop, with two players in and {10-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{6-Spades} was out on the board. This is where some serious action took place...

Nguyen checked and his opponent bet 500, Nguyen raised to 1,200 and was three-bet to 3,500. Nguyen went over again, four-betting to 7,700, only to face a five-bet to 18,500. He flat called and they went to the turn.

It was a {3-Hearts} and Nguyen checked and the other player went all in for around 6,000. Nguyen had him covered and made the call.

Qui Nguyen: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}
Opponent: {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

Nguyen just needed to dodge two outs to secure the double and he managed to do that with a {j-Spades} falling on the river.

Madsen Finds a Lucky Chop

Level 3 : 75/150, 25 ante

Jeff Madsen opened from the button and the big blind defended. The flop fell {k-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{8-Spades} and the big blind checked to Madsen who continued for 425. The big blind check-raised to 1,500 and Madsen put in a three-bet to 2,700. The big blind just called this time.

The turn was the {9-Spades} which slowed down the action as both players checked. The river brought the {10-Clubs} and the big blind checked again. Madsen tapped the table as well and the big blind tabled {k-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}.

"I don't like that turn card very much," he said. Indeed it was a bad turn card as Madsen flipped over {k-Hearts}{6-Hearts} to escape with a chop after his opponent flopped two pair.
