Condon Scoops Two

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

Alex Condon raised to 12,000 from under the gun and found calls from Max Silver in the small blind as well as the player in the big blind. The flop was dealt {3-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{7-Clubs}. The players in the blinds checked and Condon continued for 17,500. Silver called and the other player got out of the way. The turn was the {4-Clubs} and both players checked. They also checked the {a-Spades} on the river. Both players revealed a pocket pair, but Condon's {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} was better than Silver's {6-Hearts}{6-Spades}.

In the very next hand, the player in the hijack seat raised to 12,500 and Condon called from the big blind. The flop fell {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}{5-Clubs} and Condon checked. The preflop raiser pushed 70,000 and Condon hesitated before calling, turning up {a-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} for trips to his opponents flush draw with {7-Clubs}{9-Clubs}. The flush never completed, but even if it had, Condon had a boat by the river when the last two cards fell {6-Diamonds}{5-Spades}.
