Howard Having a Good Day

[user46392]
[user46392]
One player who is having a good first level is Chris Howard, who has doubled up twice in the first three hands to put him up to around 41,000 -- and then managed to eliminate an opponent with the worst hand a few hands later, putting him on 60,000.

First, he bet every street of a {4-Hearts} {9-Hearts} {5-Hearts} {5-Spades} {6-Diamonds} board, his {7-Spades} {8-Clubs} making a gutshot straight on the river to win the hand.

Then the next hand he found {A-Diamonds} {A-Spades} in the small blind, and got all his chips in against the cutoff who was holding sixes and received no help from the board.

A few hands later, Howard raised to 4,400 from mid position and the cutoff made it 16,000 with just 3,000 behind. Howard put him all in, and was dominated with {A-Clubs} {Q-Spades} to his opponent's {A-Spades} {K-Hearts} -- but the board came down {Q-Spades} {3-Hearts} {8-Spades} {A-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} to give him two pair and knock out the other guy.
