How's This For A Runout?!

Level 8

As told by Hector Alvarez, a wild hand just developed between himself and Bruno Jais.

The players started with the following hands,

Bruno Jais: {j-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}/{7-Hearts}
Hector Alvarez: {5-Clubs}{5-Spades}/{4-Clubs}

But with Alvarez leading the betting throughout the hand and Jais only calling down with Alvarez showing a potential low, by the time the hands were revealed, it was Jais coolering Alvarez in a huge way.

Bruno Jais: {j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{j-Spades}{j-Clubs}/{7-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}
Hector Alvarez: {5-Clubs}{5-Spades}{5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}/{4-Clubs}{3-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

Jais' quad jacks took a big pot from Alvarez's quad fives, but fortunately for Alvarez his stack was healthy enough to absorb the hit of this super cooler.

Gamble Enters Tournament, Calls Shenanigans

Level 9
Nathan Gamble
Nathan Gamble

Nathan Gamble has entered the tournament in the final possible level and was quickly involved in a hand he nearly won with the bare minimum.

Betting alternated between Gamble taking the lead on fourth street, then check-calling on fifth and sixth, before leading out again on seventh and getting called.

At showdown, the players showed:

Nathan Gamble: {8-Hearts}{2-Spades}{k-Spades}{j-Clubs}/{j-Spades}{4-Clubs}{2-Clubs}
Opponent: {3-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{q-Spades}/{a-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}

Gamble actually held the lead in the hand with just a pair of deuces, until his opponent made a six-low on seventh street to chop the pot.

"So my deuces were good the whole way! Shenanigans," exclaimed Gamble as the dealer split up their chips and divided them between the players.
