Lou Barlow shoved all in for 10,250 in middle position after an opponent under the gun fired 2,400 on a {10-Spades}{5-Hearts}{6-Hearts} flop. The under-the-gun player called after some thought with {j-Hearts}{9-Hearts} but he was a mile behind Barlow's {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts}. The turn and river were bricks and Barlow doubled up.

Calderaro Doubles Through Baker

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

We found James Calderaro and David "ODB" Baker getting it all in preflop with Calderaro at risk for 16,550 on top of the 3,600 each had committed to put a short-stacked player at risk.

Baker: {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}
Calderaro: {a-Hearts}{8-Hearts}
Third player: {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

Calderaro declared he had the nuts. The board of {10-Spades}{5-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{q-Hearts} actually sent the main pot to the short-stacked player, but Calderaro doubled through Baker in the bigger side pot.

Kelly Minkin
Kelly Minkin

We found Kelly Minkin on the button and all in for 9,700 more after facing a bet of 3,500 on a board of {q-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{6-Clubs}. Her opponent who had fired the bet announced a call, and Minkin tabled {8-Spades}{7-Spades} for a combo draw. Her opponent had {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}, and Minkin hit both of her draws on the {4-Spades} river. As Minkin told it, four players had seen the flop for 900 apiece and the flop bet had been 2,500 from the player with ace-king.
