Gavin Smith Doubles Up Through Tony Basile

This time Gavin Smith came out on top after tangling with Tony Basile. They both checked after seeing a flop of {A-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}, but after the {3-Hearts} hit on the turn Gavin pushed all his chips in the pot. He confidently counted them down and smacked a final yellow chip atop of tower of them.

Basile took some time to think things through before making the call. Smith turned over {J-Spades}{4-Hearts} for second pair. Basile had {Q-Spades}{3-Diamonds}, having called after making a pair on the turn. The river was the {10-Spades} and Smith doubled up.

"I'm not giving up," Smith said.

Jon Friedberg Wins A Pot With The Worst Hand In Poker

Or is it the best? John MacCarthy limped on the button and Jon Friedberg checked his option in the big blind. After the {6-Spades}{3-Spades}{5-Clubs} flop Friedberg bet 8,000 and MacCarthy called. The {4-Spades} fell on the turn and both players checked. When the {3-Clubs} hit on the river Friedberg bet 20,000 and MacCarthy called. Friedberg showed down the 'ol Seven-Deuce for the straight and MacCarthy mucked.
