Coats Takes From Drinan

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante

It folded round to Adam Coats who limped in the small blind and Connor Drinan checked his option.

The dealer laid {j-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{q-Hearts} on the flop and Coats check-called a 5,000 bet. The turn was the {6-Clubs} and once again Coats check-called the 18,000 bet.

On the {q-Spades} river, Coats checked and this time Drinan decided to do the same. He mucked on seeing Coats' cards, which gave him trip queens with {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{7-Spades}{3-Diamonds} in the hole.

Guagenti Gives and Takes

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante

Nick Guagenti was seen giving away a large portion of his chips over to Bjorn Verbakel on a board that read {a-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{10-Spades}{6-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}. Verbakel showed the {a-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{3-Hearts} as Guagenti looked as his cards in disgust before mucking them and sending over the pot to Verbakel.

Just a couple of hands later Guagenti moved all in on a flop that read {10-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} and was called. He held {a-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} which would be the winning scoop hand when the board ran out {6-Spades}{10-Clubs} to swing his stack back up to above average after it had dipped to a low point.
