Hang Doubles Through Kelly

Level 18 : 10,000/20,000, 0 ante

Big O

Schuyler Thornton made it 13,000 in the cutoff, and Tommy Hang called on the button. Matt Kelly came along, as did Ben Yu to make it four to {7-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{6-Clubs}. Everyone checked. On the {9-Spades} turn, action checked to Hang, and he potted it for all but his last 16,000.

"I think I'm gonna have to pay you on this one," Kelly said softly.

After about 30 seconds, he confirmed he was calling, and the other two folded. Kelly check-called the last 16,000 on the {4-Spades} river, and Hang showed {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{3-Spades} for a straight and an ace-three for low. That was a scooper, as Kelly showed pocket nines and mucked.

Freeman Folds Sixth to Matusow

Level 19 : 12,000/24,000, 0 ante

Stud Hi-Lo Regular

Zachary Freeman called the bring-in and Mike Matusow completed. Freeman called, and then proceeded to call bets on fourth and fifth streets as each player's boards read as follows:

Freeman: {X-}{X-} / {9-Clubs}{2-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}
Matusow: {X-}{X-} / {3-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}

Once Matusow bet sixth street, Freeman went into the tank for close to four minutes before eventually folding his hand and declaring he had a nine-low.

Matusow showed his {9-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} for a pair of nines and rough nine-low.
