A Couple of Pots For Eames

Pot One

Alaa El-Chami limped into the pot, in early position, and Igor Pihela and John Eames both called in the blinds.The flop was {K-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} {Q-Spades} and Pihela checked to Eames who bet 600 and Alaa El-Chami made the call from position. Pihela folded and Eames and El-Chami saw the {5-Spades} pop up on the turn. This time Eames checked, El-Chami bet 1,125 and Eames made the call. On the river the same action ensued but not until Eames had pulled the odd face or two. The bet was for 2,100 and there was no need for the face pulling because at showdown Eames was good.
