Show One, Owe One

Level 6 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante

Anthony Zinno raised from the cutoff, Ismael Bojang reraised from the big blind, and Zinno called.

On the {K-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{3-Clubs} flop, Bojang bet, and Zinno called. Both players checked the {9-Clubs} turn, and Bojang went back to betting on the {J-Hearts} river. Zinno folded and said to Bojang, "Show one, and I'll owe you one."

Dan Shak chimed in and asked, "Just one?" and Zinno clarified that he meant both cards.

Bojang obliged and turned over {K-Spades}{Q-Spades} for a pair of kings.

Kenny Hsiung

A player in middle position raised, Jonathan Duhamel three-bet in the next position, and Kenny Hsiung four-bet from the big blind. The initial raiser went all in for 7,200 and Duhamel and Hsiung called.

It was heads up for the side pot and the flop came {Q-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{2-Spades}. Hsiung bet and Duhamel called. The turn was the {7-Hearts} and Hsiung checked. Duhamel bet and Hsiung called. On the {K-Clubs} river, Hsiung bet out and Duhamel raised. Hsiung called all in for slightly less and they showed down.

Duhamel: {K-Hearts}{Q-Spades}
Hsiung: {A-Clubs}{K-}
Middle position player: {5-}{5-}

Duhamel's two pair, kings and queens, was good and he knocked out both of his opponents. That pot put him over 100,000 chips.
