Trip Fives Take Down Pot at Showdown for Alexander

Level 4 : 300/600, 600 ante

Three players made it to the turn with a board reading {j-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}. The under-the-gun player bet 3,000 into a pot of about 10,000. Mayr Alexander called from the cutoff, while the small blind folded, meaning heads-up action to the river.

That river was the {6-Clubs}. A bet of 6,000 came from under the gun, which Alexander snap called, tabling his {3-Spades}{5-Spades} to beat out his opponent's {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs} with the set, taking down a pot of nearly 30,000.

River Brings In The Full Double For Cyrkiel

Level 3 : 200/400, 400 ante

On a flop of {8-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{9-Hearts} with 5,000 chips already in the middle, Michael ''Mike'' Cyrkiel checked from the hijack to the button, who led for a pot-sized bet. Cyrkiel made the call and they were off to a turn.

With 15,000 chips in the middle, the {j-Spades} fell on the turn and Cyrkiel instantly jammed the rest of his 13,000 stack. His opponent quickly flicked in a single chip to call.

With cards on their backs, the Californian needed help with his {j-Hearts}{10-Clubs} (top pair) running into his opponents flopped set {8-Clubs}{8-Spades}. The river was gin for Mike though, who hit the {7-Clubs} bringing in the straight and giving him a full double to 41,000.
