Peters Flips for Tournament Life

Level 20 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

David Peters limped the small blind and Keith Tilston raised the big to 175,000. Peters responded by jamming for 1.39 million and Tilston called.

Peters: {k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}
Tilston: {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}

It was a flip but not after the {5-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} flop paired Peters. The {6-Spades} turn and {10-Spades} river were kind to Peters and he doubled into the chip lead.

Hunichen with the Check-Jam

Level 20 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Keith Tilston limped the button holding the {4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} and Chris Hunichen did the same from the small blind with the {4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}. Martin Zamani checked his option holding the {10-Hearts}{6-Spades} and it was three-way action to the {3-Spades}{6-Hearts}{5-Hearts} flop.

Hunichen checked, Zamani bet 75,000 with top pair, and Tilston called. Hunichen then check-raised all in and that did the trick as both his opponents folded.
