The small blind checked on the 9KJ flop. Lopes elected to play out of flow, leading for 15,000, prompting three quick folds.

Lopes raked in this pot as he tabled J9 for a flopped two pair.

DeGeorge Gets a Fright

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

The action was caught as the small blind was all in and at risk against Joe DeGeorge, in the cutoff.

Small Blind: AK All in
Joe DeGeorge: 5x5x

DeGeorge was ahead and but the window card flashed the A, prompting a burst of frustration. Thankfully for DeGeorge, the 59 came quickly behind, giving him a set. The K turn gave an additional sweat for the small blind but the 2 river confirmed their departure.
