Hand #154:
Joseph Hertzog: /
Daniel Idema: /
Idema raised it on third after Hertzog completed, and everyone else folded. Idema kept the lead through fifth before check-raising all in for the last of his stack on sixth.

"Guy has a wheel and he's over there asking for a six," he said.
Hertzog couldn't beat the wheel, and Idema scooped the pot to double.
Meanwhile, in an earlier pot, Matt Vengrin lost most of his stack against another monster from Raul Paez. Paez made a straight and a seven-low.
