Deeb Doubles

Level 7 : 200/400, 50 ante

There were about 3,000 chips in the pot and the {10-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{2-Clubs} flop was out when we got to the table. Shaun Deeb had bet from middle position and was facing a check-raise from the player in the small blind. Deeb called to put himself at risk and the two players tabled their hands.

Shaun Deeb: {10-Spades}{6-Spades}
Small blind: {A-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

Deeb was ahead with top pair but his opponent had a lot of room to improve. The {J-Diamonds} turn and {7-Diamonds} river changed nothing and Deeb took the pot to double up.

Wheeler Fills Up

Level 6 : 150/300, 50 ante

There were about 7,000 chips in the pot and the {Q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{9-Clubs} flop was out when we got to the table. Jason Wheeler bet 4,000 from the big blind and his opponent called from the button.

The {10-Spades} hit the turn and Wheeler checked. The button shoved and Wheeler quickly called to put himself at risk for 14,775.

Jason Wheeler: {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}
Button: {A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}

Wheeler had the best of it with nines full and his opponent needed a queen on the river to win the pot. The final card was the {3-Spades} which changed nothing and Wheeler took the pot to double up.

Blair Hinkle: {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}
Big blind: {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}

Hinkle was ahead with his aces but his opponent had a lot of room to improve. The {7-Spades} turn changed nothing but the {10-Hearts} on the river gave Hinkle's opponent the winning flush.

A Setback for Nguyen

Level 5 : 100/200, 25 ante

There were about 2,500 chips in the middle and the {J-Spades}{7-Hearts}{5-Hearts} flop was out when we got to the table. Men Nguyen bet 1,500 from the small blind, a player in middle position shoved for about 4,000, Andrew Barber folded from the button, and Nguyen called to put his opponent at risk.

Men Nguyen: {A-Clubs}{J-Hearts}
Opponent: {7-Spades}{7-Clubs}

Nguyen had flopped top pair, top kicker, but found himself trailing his opponent's set of sevens. The {2-Spades} turn and {6-Spades} river missed both players entirely and Nguyen's opponent took the pot to double up.
