Al-Keliddar Flops a Flush to Double

Level 10 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

The player in the cutoff opened to 5,100 and was called by Cortez Baker in the small blind. Yaser Al-Keliddar then shoved for his last 21,800 from the big blind and only the initial raiser called to put Al-Keliddar at risk.

Yaser Al-Keliddar: {a-Spades}{7-Spades}
Cutoff: {5-Spades}{5-Hearts}

It was close to a coin flip, but the {q-Spades}{4-Spades}{3-Spades} flop left Al-Keliddar's opponent needing some kind of runner-runner.

The {2-Spades} turn and {8-Hearts} river kept Al-Keliddar in front with his flush and he doubled up.

Tannen Takes One Down

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Biff Tannen
Biff Tannen

Biff Tannen opened to 3,500 from the hijack and was three-bet to 7,000 by Jane Hitchcock on the button. The player in the small blind then shoved for his last 12,000 and action folded back to Tannen, who went all in also for around 30,000. Hitchcock folded and hands were tabled.

Biff Tannen: {5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}
Small blind: {k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

The {j-Spades}{5-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{2-Spades}{9-Diamonds} runout left Tannen best with a full house and he collected the rest of his opponent's chips.
