Connor Richards
Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

A player opened to 2,700 and the next player called before Josh Dalton three-bet jammed from the small blind. The big blind re-shoved with a bigger stack and both opponents folded.

Josh Dalton: K♦7♦ All in
Opponent: A♥Q♦

Dalton took a lead as the flop of 5♣K♥2♣ paired his king and nothing changed on the runout of J♦9♥ to earn him a double.

William Willis was all in for 18,100 against Mark Martin, who had Willis covered.

William Willis: A♠K♠ All in
Mark Martin: Q♥Q♣

Willis was able to win the flip as the board ran out A♦6♥7♣J♠7♠ to pair his ace as Martin gave a groan after having his queens cracked.

"If you can double on an ace, so can I," Willis said. "Circle of life."
