Khouiss Wakes Up with Pocket Rockets

Level 14 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Peco Stojanovski open-shoved for right around 110,000 and Sam Khouiss called off or 63,500 from the button.

Khouiss: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}
Stojanovski: {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}

Khouiss was well out in front and didn't even have to sweat it as the board ran out a dry {9-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{3-Hearts}{10-Spades}{3-Clubs}. Ship the double to Khouiss.

Smith Wasn't Prepared for Winer

Level 14 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Asa Smith
Asa Smith

A {j-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{8-Clubs} flop saw Sean Winter bet 17,000, Asa Smith call, can the dealer burn and turn the {3-Hearts}.

Winter opted to shove all in, and Smith, who had approximately 125,000 behind, was put to the test. He spent nearly five minutes in the tank before calling off.

Smith: {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs}
Winter: {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}

Both players held separate flush draws, but as it was Winter was ahead with ace-queen. That's what would win it too after the {K-Diamonds} river failed to help either player.

"That's Pure Aggression"

Level 14 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Phil Hellmuth limped from early position and Sam Khouiss in the cutoff as well as Andrew Hinrichsen on the button tossed in the 5,000 chips as well. Brian Roberts made it 30,000 from the small blind and Hellmuth was stung immediately. "Wow. That's pure aggression," he said.

Eventually Roberts got through with the steal and also took down the next two pots as well.

Leah Busts Neilson with Quads

Level 14 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Daniel Neilson was all in with the {A-Spades}{K-Spades} to Mike Leah's {5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}. Neilson was short and all in for around 60,000 in chips.

The {A-Clubs}{5-Spades}{4-Hearts} flop both players, but it hit Leah harder with a set of fives. The turn was the {3-Clubs} to leave Neilson hoping for a straight on the board to chop the pot, but the {5-Clubs} gave Leah quads on the river and Neilson was eliminated.
