Courtney Adds Chips; NT Rivers a Double
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
On a heads-up flop of Q♦5♠3♦, Stephen Courtney check-raised from 6,000 to 16,000. His sole remaining opponent opted to fold and Courtney raked in the pot.
One table over, a four-way pot brought a pot of 18,000 to the K♣J♣8♦ flop. NT check-shoved for 31,200 and Anders Hellstrom called after he had bet 9,000.
NT: A♣10♣ 
Anders Hellstrom: J♠8♠
Hellstrom's bottom two pair were ahead and remained there with the 7♦ turn. However, one of the many outs of NT came with the 3♣ river and he scored the double.
