Young Scores a Double Up

Andrew Knowles

Level 13 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

The action was picked up when all the chips were in the middle preflop from a player in early position and David Young on the button, who was all in for his last roughly 30,000.

David Young: K♠10♠
Opponent: A♠Q♠

"Well, I'm alive," said Young before the board ran out 9♠6♣4♣10♣8♣, giving Young a turned pair of tens to take the pot and score a full double up.

Budd Takes One From Smith

Andrew Knowles

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

The action folded around to Mike Smith in the cutoff who limped in and both the small blind and Brandon Budd in the big blind came along.

The flop came 9♦9♣4♦ and the small blind checked to Budd who led out for 3,000, which only Smith called. On the 5♠ turn both players checked their options to the 10♥ river.

Budd took a few seconds before tossing out a bet of 4,000 and Smith double-checked his cards before eventually sending them to the muck.

Simpson Goes For It on River

Andrew Knowles

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

A player in early position opened the action to 4,500 and it folded to Conrad Simpson in middle position who three-bet to 13,000. The rest of the table got out of the way and the initial raiser made the call.

The flop came 8♦8♣2♣ and the player in early position check-called a bet of 7,000 from Simpson. On the 7♠ turn both players elected on a check to the K♠ river.

The early position player checked a third time and Simpson moved all in, covering his opponents just over 40,000 stack, who went deep in the tank. After close to a minute, the early position player reluctantly let his cards go and the pot was shipped to Simpson without showdown.
