The flop came A

fall on the turn. The small blind bet again, Wong called, and Raymond folded.
The river was the 10 and both players checked. The small blind showed A

Sabyl Landrum doubles up
Sabyl Landrum raised under-the-gun and Dario Alioto three-bet from middle position. Landrum four-bet, Alioto five-bet, and Landrum called off the last of her chips.
Landrum held AA104 and Alioto had the AKK2.
The board ran out J10425 and Landrum doulbed up to 12,000.
Mizrachi Still Running Good This Series
On a flop of 69Q, Michael Mizrachi checked, there was a bet and Chris Ferguson called. Mizrachi check-raised to 2,400 and both opponents called.
The turn was the 2 and Mizrachi bet and was called by both opponents. The river was the 10 and Mizrachi bet again, and was only called by on opponent and Ferguson folded.
Mizrachi showed the 9988, good for a set of nines, and the pot. He is now up to 76,000.
