Massey's Stack Slipping

[user198205]

In one hand action folded to Aaron Massey in the small blind who raised to 50,000. Philip Hammerling called from the big blind and they saw the flop come {q-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} {3-Spades} . Massey bet 65,000 and Hammerling called. The turn was the {a-Hearts} and Massey bet out 80,000. Hammerling again opted to call and they saw the {7-Clubs} fall on the river.

Both players checked and when Hammerling showed his {k-Hearts} {q-Clubs} , Massey mucked his hand and was left with around 420,000.

Not long after that hand, Jeremiah Siegmund raised all in from the button for a total of 237,000 and Massey who was in the big blind snap called.

Siegmund: {a-Clubs} {3-Diamonds}
Massey: {a-Hearts} {j-Spades}

Siegmund was drawing slim until the flop came {7-Clubs} {3-Clubs} {2-Spades} to give him a pair and the lead. The turn and river were the {8-Hearts} and {q-Hearts} and Siegmund doubled to 480,000 while Massey was left with only 230,000.
