Wai Kiat Lee limped in from middle position, Jeffrey Newman raised from the hijack to 2,800, Rostyslav Sabishchenko on the button called and Lee folded.

Newman continued on a flop of 10♠8♠6♠ for 3,200 and Sabishchenko called.

The 9♥ on the turn saw Newman move all in for 32,600 sending Sabishchenko into the tank.

Friedman Finds a Double

Ryan Lashmar

Level 6 : Blinds 0/0, 600 ante

A player in the hijack limped in and Adam Friedman moved all in for 25,500 from the cutoff. The player on the button called with a covering stack to put Friedman at risk.

Adam Friedman: K♥Q♥
Button: A♠J♦

The button found top pair on the 7♣J♣10♠ flop but was close to flipping against Friedman's open-ended straight draw. The 6♠ turn was a brick but the A♥ river gave Friedman a broadway straight and a full double up.

Dzivielevski Doubles Up

Ollie Garland

Level 6 : Blinds 0/0, 600 ante

The hijack limped in and Yuri Dzivielevski shoved for his remaining 21,900 from the cutoff. The hijack called.

Yuri Dzivielevski: 10♣9♣
Hijack: Q♠8♠

The board ran out in dramatic fashion as the window card brought the 10♥ but following right behind it was both the Q♥ and 6♣. Dzivielevski was behind until the turn peeled the A♣ and the river fell the 9♠. Dzivielevski's two-pair was good for the full double up.
