Level 17 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Action folded around to the player on the button who raised. Johnny Landreth called from the small blind, and the player in the big blind came along as well.

The flop of Q♦7♣2♦ checked through to the 2♠ turn. Landreth led out with a bet of 16,000 and only the big blind called.

On the 10♠ river, Landreth check-called a bet of 40,000 and turned over the winner with A♦10♥, for a pair of tens. The big blind showed 10♦3♦, for a busted flush draw.

The next hand, middle position raised to 16,000, the cutoff called, Landreth called on the button, and the big blind defended.

The flop came 7♠K♦5♠ and it checked to Landreth, who bet 20,000. Middle position check-raised to 65,000 and Landreth called.

The turn came the 4♠ and middle position check-folded to a bet of 50,000 from Landreth, who scooped back-to-back pots.
