Race Day

Two key races just took place in the Amazon Room, one with Scott Hamilton and Jeff "YoungSupremacy" Hakim and the other with Eric "AvrilSharapova" Ladny and Alex Bolotin.

Hamilton and Hakim were all in preflop and the hands were opened:

Showdown
Hamilton: {3-Hearts}{3-Spades}
Hakim: {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades}

The board ran {5-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} and Hamilton's threes held doubling him to 445,000 chips. Hakim is left with just 83,000.

Moments later Ladny and Bolotin got all the chips in the center and it was another race.

Showdown
Ladny: {J-Spades}{J-Hearts}
Bolotin: {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}

Again the pocket pair held after the board ran {5-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{5-Clubs}. Ladny doubled to 540,000 chips and Bolotin dropped to 270,000.
