Hand #155-- Peter Gould

Banducci raised on the button to 100,000 and Gould called. The flop came {10-Hearts} {2-Clubs} {3-Diamonds}, Gould checked, Banducci bet 135,000 and Gould called. The {J-Spades} turned and both players checked again. The {9-Spades} fell on the river, Gould checked, Banducci bet 180,000, and Gould thought a good long while before moving all in for around 625,000. Banducci's cheering section stood and pressed closer while he contemplated his course of action, and in the end he folded.

Gould showed Q-2.

Hand #152-- Peter Gould Doubles Through Jeff Williams

Williams moved all in from the small blind and Gould called from the big. Williams held {K-Spades} {4-Spades} and Gould had the exact same hand he had in their last confrontation-- {5-Hearts} {5-Clubs}.

The flop came {10-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} {J-Hearts}, no real help. The turn was the {J-Spades}, opening the possiblity that Gould's pair of Fives could be counterfeited, and on the river the {9-Hearts} hit, giving Gould the pot and a much-needed double-up. He's back up over 1 million in chips.

Hand #149-- Jeff Williams Doubles Up Through Peter Gould

Michael Banducci limped on the button, Jeff Williams moved all in from the small blind, Peter Gould called and Banducc got out of the way.

Gould had Williams covered and Williams' {A-Hearts} {9-Hearts} and was racing against Gould's {5-Hearts} {5-Clubs}. The flop came {7-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds}, giving Williams the lead and Gould an inside straight draw. The {9-Spades} hit on the turn, giving Williams trips but not really changing the situation, and on the river the {3-Spades} hit, giving Williams the hand and crippling Gould.
