Wendlandt Vs. Gentile

Level 7 : 300/500, 500 ante

Armando Gentile limped in early position and Arin Mohamad raised to 1,500. Henning Wendlandt called in the big blind and so did Gentile.

The flop came {8-Clubs}{2-Spades}{a-Hearts} and the three players checked. When the turn showed the {7-Diamonds}, Wendlandt led out for 3,000 and only Gentile made the call.

A {5-Clubs} fell on the river and this time Wendlandt checked to Gentile who bet 6,500. Wendlandt tanked and asked "two pair?" and saw Gentile shake his head meaning no. Wendlandt ended up calling and Gentile tabled {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} for a flopped set of eights.

Wendlandt mucked his hand with a smile, "so you didn't have two pair, but better!".

Bensimhon Scores a Double Knockout

Level 6 : 200/400, 400 ante
Eyal Bensimhon
Eyal Bensimhon

The flop already showed {9-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{7-Spades} in a three-way pot when a first player bet and Antonio Turrisi shoved next to him. Eyal Bensimhon tanked for a minute and tossed a pile of 5,000 chips in front of him, putting the first player at risk, who made the call. The latter called and they revealed their cards:

First player: {a-Hearts}{6-Hearts}
Antonio Turrisi: {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}
Eyal Bensimhon: {a-Spades}{q-Spades}

The {j-Diamonds} turn didn't change anything but a {3-Spades} hit the river, giving the flush to Bensimhon who elimianted two players in the same hand.
