Lawrence Hits Huge Double

Level 16 : 8,000/16,000, 1,000 ante

Jim Lawrence's surge continues. We found him raising a flop bet from Peixin Liu after the {6-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{2-Hearts} hit the board. Liu moved all in, and Lawrence called.

Lawrence: {8-Hearts}{6-Hearts}
Liu: {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}

Liu was ahead for the moment with aces, but Lawrence had the equity advantage with his pair and flush draw. He turned his opponent dead with the {7-Hearts}, and a cruel {a-Diamonds} finished out the board.

Marimganti Done

Level 16 : 8,000/16,000, 1,000 ante

When we last saw Kishore Marimganti, he was chipping his way up the leaderboard, but evidently, things took a turn for the worse for him as we found him all in with a short stack holding {a-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}. Jim Lawrence had him dominated with {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}, and the board ran out {3-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{5-Clubs} to give Lawrence a winning flush.
