Otto Doubles Through the Big Stack

Level 11 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Ryan Otto raised it up on the button and Georgios Vasilopoulos three-bet shoved as the big stack from the big blind. Otto flicked in the last of his 21,000 chips and the cards were tabled.

Ryan Otto: KQ
Georgios Vasilopoulos: 1010

It was a coin flip but the flop of Q85 gave Otto the lead with a pair of queens. The 8 on the turn and the 4 on the river bricked out and Otto earned himself a double up.

Ian Simpson raised to 2,000 from the cutoff and Lin Chen just called from the small blind. The flop came Q109 and Simpson continued with a bet of 2,000. Chen check-raised all in and Simpson snapped off his stack of 14,100.

Ian Simpson: 109
Lin Chen: KK

Simpson out-flopped Chen with two pair but still had to fade the final two community cards. The 7 on the turn changed nothing and the 9 on the river improved Simpson to a full house to double up.

A Cooler Sends Saliba to the Registration Desk

Level 10 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Vivian Saliba
Vivian Saliba

Picking up the action on a completed board of JJ9K10, Vivian Saliba was heads-up with Neophytos Neophytou. There was around 15,000 in the pot already and Saliba led out with a bet of 7,000.

Neophytou moved all in and Saliba shrugged as she called off the rest of her stack for just under 20,000. Neophytou turned over KJ for a full house while Saliba showed her J10 for an inferior full house, forcing her to the registration desk for another bullet.

The turn was the 9 and both players checked to the 3 on the river. Gaines put together a bet of 15,500 and Connolly ditched his cards to the muck.
