Connor Richards

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Taran Parmar opened to 6,000 in middle position and Cheng Zhao defended out of the big blind.

Zhao checked once more on the Q♥ river and Parmar pulled the trigger with a hefty bet of 25,000. Zhao went into the tank and eventually called.

Parmar could only show ace-high with A♠2♠ and Zhao showed an overpair with K♦K♠ to win the pot.

Lehoussine Makes a Huge Hero Call

Ollie Garland

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

The pot was heads up as the board read K♥Q♠K♠5♠K♣.

Karim Lehoussine, in the small blind, checked the action over to Gustavo Dias in the cutoff. Dias bet out 25,000 into a pot of approximately 55,000. Lehoussine spent a considerable amount of time in the tank before finally deciding to make the call.

Dias sheepishly tabled J♠10♥ for just jack high. However, Lehoussine held the winner as he showed A♥10♦; his ace high was good enough to take down this pot.
