Too Many Outs For Eastwood

David Salituro

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Simon Eastwood raised to 6,000 on the button and Mihail Zglavoci called in the small blind. Yifan Zheng then three-bet to 25,000 in the big blind, Eastwood stuck in his last 26,500, while Zglavoci got out of the way and Zheng quickly committed the extra few chips.

Simon Eastwood: 10♥9♥ All in
Yifan Zheng: A♣4♦

The flop came 7♥2♦8♥ to give Eastwood a straight flush draw. The 3♦ turn was no help, but Eastwood connected with one of his outs on the J♣ river, making a straight to earn the double up.

Player	Chips	Progress
Mihail Zglavoci	75,000
Yifan Zheng	60,000 60,000	60,000

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Dean Clay raised to 5,000 in early position and Michalis Protopapas three-bet to 15,000 in middle position. Clay then moved all in, and Protopapas snap-called for 89,500.

Michalis Protopapas: Q♣Q♠ All in
Dean Clay: K♣K♠

Protopapas was crushed by Clay's kings as the board came A♥J♥6♥A♦, leaving him one card away from elimination. The river, though, was the Q♥ and Protopapas spiked a two-outer to make a full house and double up.

"It's a sick game," tablemate John Duthie said.

With around 20,000 in the pot on a board of 5♠9♣4♥8♠, Calogero Morreale bet 8,000 from under the gun and Longmao Fan called on the button.

The river was the A♦ and Morreale led out for another 8,500. Fan again called and Morreale showed K♣8♣ for a pair of eights. Fan, though, turned over A♣6♣ for a rivered pair of aces to win the pot.
