Riding the Roller Coaster with Bob Lauria

Hold'em:

Archie Karas raised and then Bob Lauria made it three bets. Karas made the call. The flop came down {9-Spades} {3-Hearts} {2-Diamonds} and both players checked. The turn produced the {5-Diamonds} and Karas led out. Lauria raised and was all in. Karas tossed in the call and then Lauria flipped up two red nines, {9-Hearts} {9-Diamonds}, for top set. Karas checked his hole cards and then simply tossed his hand into the muck, knowing he was drawing dead. The river was dealt the {A-Diamonds} and then the pot was pushed Lauria's way as he doubled up.

On the next hand, Karas jacked it up to two bets again and Lauria reraised again. Karas made the call and the two were off to another flop together. The flop came down {A-Diamonds} {J-Spades} {3-Spades} and Karas checked. Lauria fired a continuation bet and Karas called. The turn brought the {Q-Clubs} and both players checked. After the river fell the {J-Hearts}, Karas led with a bet and Lauria called.

Karas turned up {A-Clubs} {10-Spades} and Lauria mucked his hand, giving some of the chips right back to Karas after he doubled up through him.
