With about 3,000 in the pot and the board reading {4-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{9-Spades}{k-Spades}, Kevin O'Donnell checked in late position. His opponent in the cutoff moved all in for roughly 2,700. O'Donnell though for a minute and then called.

O'Donnell's opponent tabled {5-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} for five-high and a missed straight draw. O'Donnell showed {9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for two pair and took down the pot.

Navarro Catches Lightning

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante
Ken Aldridge

With about 1,100 in the pot and the board reading {q-Clubs}{7-Spades}{a-Hearts}{7-Clubs}, Francisco Navarro was in the small blind and led out for 400. Michael Moore was in middle position and called as did a player in the cutoff.

The river was the {a-Spades} and Navarro led again but for 1,200 this time. Moore's face told it all as he begrudgingly called and the other opponent in the cutoff folded.

Navarro tabled {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}, having made an aces full of sevens boat on the river. Moore showed {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} for a smaller boat after flopping a set, and Navarro nabbed the pot.

Ken Aldridge is also at this table and commented on how well Moore and Navarro are playing thus far. He said,"Moore has my number today. I make a hand and he has a better one." Aldridge is one of the classiest most enjoyable players around the scene and everyone can spot him a mile away, always wearing his trade mark yellow colors.
