Hazdovac Cracks Aces and Gets Massive Double Up

Chris Bean

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

There was 110,000 in the middle on a flop of Q♦8♠3♠ and Mark Gerecke bet 130,000 from the small blind. Nina Hazdovac in the big blind made the call while Robert Whalen on the button opted to fold.

Gerecke checked the K♣ turn which invited Hazdovac to bet 150,000, which was called by Gerecke.

The 7♠ came on the river and Gerecke grabbed a handful of 100,000 lavenders and bet enough to put Hazdovac all in for 350,000. Hazdovac made the call.

Gerecke turned over A♦A♥, but was beaten by Hazdovac's K♦Q♣ for two pair and secured a huge double up.

Turner Loves Poker...For Now

David Salituro

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Terry Turner and Josef Hollander went heads-up on a flop of 2♣7♥8♥ when Turner, in the big blind, moved all in for 400,000. Hollander, in the hijack, called.

Terry Turner: 8♦5♥
Josef Hollander: A♦A♠

Turner had flopped top pair but was still far behind Hollander who turned over two aces. The turn, though, came the 5♦ and Turner improved to two pair.

The 3♦ on the river sealed his double up as Hollander handed over the pot with his cracked aces.

"I get aces and win nothing. Then I double up with eight-five. That's poker. It's a game you love. Twenty minutes from now I'm going to hate the damn game," Turner said.

Elsanafiri Picks Up Queens to Double

David Salituro

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Andreas Boelling had raised preflop from middle position as action folded to Said Elsanafiri in the big blind, who moved all in for 200,000. Boelling took some chips from his big stack and called.

Said Elsanafiri: Q♥Q♣
Andreas Boelling: Q♠10♠

"Oh no," Boelling said with a smile after finding out he was dominated. Elsanafiri found the last queen in the deck on the 2♦A♣Q♦ flop to make a set, then improved to a full house on the A♦ turn.

Boelling was left drawing dead heading to the 6♣ as Elsanafiri doubled up. "Keep the blue deck," Elsanafiri told the dealer.
