Block Rivered Full House; Queens Good for Lovell

Level 3 : 200/300, 300 ante

Picking up the action on the river with almost 60,000 in the pot and a board of {2-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{2-Spades}, one player was already all in as of the turn. Keith Block announced all in from the button for 17,000. Gary Lovell had 6,800 behind and was in a quandary, but finally folded.

The all-in player was standing behind his chair, bag on the back, when it was time to showdown:

All-in Player: {4-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}
Keith Block: {6-Clubs}{9-Clubs}

The all-in player had flopped a straight, but Keith Block improved street by street to a full house, eliminating his opponent.

On the very next hand, a player opened in early position and Gary Lovell announced all in for his last 6,800. His opponent tank-called.

Gary Lovell: {q-Clubs}{q-Spades}
Opponent: {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}

The board came {5-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{6-Clubs} and Lovell doubled up.
