Penn Goes Runner-Runner Boat To Survive

Level 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Danny Penn
Danny Penn

There was a loud reaction across the room and it was too the benefit of Danny Penn.

Penn found himself all in preflop holding pocket jacks against king-four of hearts.

The flop {q-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{2-Hearts} was a devastating one, as his opponent made a flush.

A {j-Hearts} on the turn provided some hope for Penn with full house outs and he got just that on the {6-} river as he made jacks full to survive.

Noriegasolis Binks a Ten for Double KO

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Brayan Noriegasolis
Brayan Noriegasolis

A player shoved from under the gun for 55,000 and Brayan Noriegasolis three-bet to 155,000. Liya Gerasimova then called all in for less and everyone else folded.

Under The Gun: {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}
Liya Gerasimova: {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}
Brayan Noriegasolis: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

It was a battle of three pairs but the {10-Spades}{5-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} flop gave Noriegasolis a set of tens. The turn and river would not spare the shorter stacks and he moved up to half a million.
