Norman Wins With the Same Hand

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

A player in middle position shoved for 95,000 and Jeff Norman called from the button.

Middle Position: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}
Jeff Norman: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}

The two players shared the same hand, but Norman got some hope on the {j-Spades}{10-Spades}{7-Spades} flop. The {q-Spades} on the turn gave him the flush, leaving his opponent drawing dead. The table initially thought Norman had made a royal flush before seeing the {k-Clubs} in his hand.

The {j-Clubs} came on the river and Norman's opponent hit the rail.

"Revitalized. Funny how a hand like that can do that for you," Norman said.

Kozusko Gets Outflopped, Hits the Turn

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Paul Kozusko shoved from the button and the player in the small blind called all in for his last 60,000.

Small Blind: {q-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}
Paul Kozusko: {a-Hearts}{5-Clubs}

"Oh, I'm ahead," Kozusko said upon seeing his opponent's hand. The all-in player hit his jack on the {7-Spades}{j-Clubs}{7-Hearts} flop to take the lead, but Kozusko went back in front on the {a-Spades} turn. The river came {9-Spades} and Kozusko sent one to the payout desk.

Early position player: {a-}{10-}
