"dadadada"

In Level 28 with blinds of 20,000/40,000 and an ante of 5,000, Daniel "centrfieldr23" Lupo opened to 80,000 on the button and Ryan "simlSgg" Hagerty called in the small blind. "dadadada" three-bet shoved for 1 million in the big blind and Lupo folded back to Hagerty, who called.

"dadadada": {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}
Ryan "simlSgg" Hagerty: {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts}

"dadadada" wound up on the right end of the coin flip as the board ran out {5-Spades}{2-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{8-Hearts} to earn them the double and pot of 2.1 million, leaving Hagerty with less than a quarter-million in his stack in the process. However, he has since doubled and chipped back up over 800,000 while "dadadada" has dipped down to 1.6 million

Don Himpele
Don Himpele

In Level 27 with blinds of 18,000/36,000 and an ante of 4,500, Ryan "simlSgg" Hagerty opened on the button and Don "dhimp20" Himpele re-shoved for 523,000 in the small blind. Hagerty called after "dadadada" folded their big blind and the two were off to the races.

Don "dhimp20" Himpele: {5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}
Ryan "simlSgg" Hagerty: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}

The flop {10-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} was more than Himpele's fives could handle, as the turn {a-Hearts} left him with just one shot at the two remaining fives. Neither came on the river {j-Clubs} and Himpele finished in fourth place as a result, earning a collective $2,044 for his performance.

In Level 26 with blinds of 16,000/32,000 and an ante of 4,000; Daniel "centrfieldr23" Lupo opened in the cutoff and Don "dhimp20" Himpele three-bet shoved for 328,000 in the small blind. Lupo called.

Don "dhimp20" Himpele: {a-Clubs}{j-Spades}
Daniel "centrfieldr23" Lupo: {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}

Himpele spiked a jack on the flop {j-Hearts}{8-Spades}{10-Diamonds}, but was not out of the woods as Lupo still had three outs to a higher pair plus eight more to a double gutshot. Instead, the board double paired as the turn {8-Clubs} and river {10-Hearts} completed the runout and Himpele's jacks up scored him the double.
