Opponent: {10-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}

The turn brought the {k-Hearts} and Jaffee was in the driver's seat with top pair and a flush draw. The {a-Clubs} on the river changed nothing and Jaffee found a double up.

Gerhart Needs the Jack on the Flop

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

After a couple of preflop raises, Kevin Gerhart got the last of his 22,200 chips in the middle and was heads-up against one player. Gerhart turned over {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} which had his opponent in bad shape with {a-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}.

The flop came {j-Clubs}{5-Spades}{3-Spades} and Gerhart flopped a set of jacks to take control of the hand. The {3-Diamonds} sealed the deal on the turn with the {7-Spades} on the river giving his opponent a full house as well, just to rub some salt in.
