Chung Coolers Kejriwal for a Double Up
Level 6
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Timothy Chung opened to 1,000 in early position and was called by George Pop. Ajay Kejriwal three-bet to 4,500 in the cutoff and Chung responded with a four-bet to 10,000. Pop got out of the way and Kejriwal called to see a flop of 9♠7♦4♥.
Chung continued with a bet of 4,000 and Kejriwal shoved all in. Chung instantly called off his stack of 24,200 and the cards were on their backs.
Tim Chung: K♥K♣
Ajay Kejriwal: J♥J♣
Chung was out front with the better of the two pocket pairs. The 7♠ and 10♠ runout changed nothing and Chung earned a big double-up at the hands of Kejriwal.

Hackney Makes a Costly Flush on the River
Level 5
: Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
Elliot Hackney and Barron Hui were heads-up in a pot with around 10,000 in the middle and a completed board of K♣8♦6♥8♥9♥. Hackney led out with a bet from the cutoff and Hui jammed all in for 25,400 on the button. Hackney wasted little time before flicking in a chip to call only to see the bad news.
Hui turned over K♥K♦ for a full house while Hackney was left with A♥3♥ for an ace-high flush. Hui earned himself a double-up while Hackney fell below starting stack for the first time today.

: Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
After a limp from under the gun, "PO" raised to 1,200 in middle position. Giorgos Onisiforou three-bet to 3,600 on the button and only "PO" called. The flop came A♦Q♥4♦ and "PO" check-called a bet of 2,200 from Onisiforou.
The Q♦ hit the turn which slowed the action as both players checked to the 9♣ on the river. "PO" led out with a bet of 8,400 on the river and Onisiforou was forced to let his hand go.

Saliba Gets Active from the Start
Level 4
: Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Vivian Saliba just registered for the Main Event and was seated at a new table with fellow 888poker ambassadors Ian Simpson and Lucia Navarro. Saliba wasted no time getting involved in the action after making a three-bet in middle position against Ajay Kejriwal.
The two players went heads-up to a queen-high flop and Kejriwal just check-called a bet from Saliba. The A♥ and A♦ runout slowed down Saliba as both players checked the river. Kejriwal showed Q♠Q♦ for a full house and Saliba flashed her Q♥ before the cards went into the muck.
On the next hand, Saliba opened to 700 from under the gun and Kejriwal called from the big blind. The flop came 10♠10♥9♠ and Kejriwal check-called a bet of 1,000 from Saliba. The turn was the 9♥ and Saliba won the pot with a bet of 1,500, flashing her K♥K♦ in the process.
