Tamayo Doubles Through Smith

Level 15 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Short-stacked Jonathan Tamayo moved all in preflop and then William 'Scotty' Smith shoved for more to isolate.

Jonathan Tamayo: Q?6?
William Smith: J?J?

Smith was a favorite with his jacks, but the runout of Q?5?6?4? gave Tamayo the win as he made two pair for a successful double.

Wieland Doubles through Richards in Monster Pot

Level 14 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

On a heads-up completed board of 8?9?5?K?K?, Jessica Richards led out for 80,000 into the pot of around 350,000 but then Carson Wieland moved all in for 308,000.

Richards quickly called to put him at risk and tabled A?K? for trip kings, but then Wieland rolled over A?3? for a flush on the river.

"Nice catch, Carson," Richards said dryly as close to a million in chips are pushed over to Wieland.
