David Salituro

Level 29 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Zexuan Huang moved all in for 1,140,000 in the small blind and John Clements called in the big blind.

Zexuan Huang: A♣7♣ All in
John Clements: A♥7♥

Both players were poised for a chop, but Huang picked up a flush draw on the 6♣4♥3♦Q♣ flop. The K♠ came on the river, and they split the pot.

Huang then moved all in for 1,180,000 under the gun with 6♥6♣ and found no callers. Clements also shoved for 1,400,000 the next hand with 9♦9♣, and he also took down the blinds and ante.

Huang moved all in again with J♣10♥ from the small blind, and Clements gave up his big blind.

Level 29 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Martin Lechner raised to 160,000 on the button, Richard Kellett three-bet to 450,000 in the small blind, and Lechner called.

The flop came K♠J♥3♥ and Kellett bet 275,000. Lechner then moved all in for 1,545,000, and Kellett called.

Martin Lechner: K♦10♥ All in
Richard Kellett: A♥K♥

Both players had flopped top pair, but Kellett was ahead with his ace-kicker. John Clements and Zexuan Huang had each folded a ten, so Lechner was left with just one out after the 6♠ fell on the turn. It arrived on the 10♦ river, and Lechner turned away from the table in disbelief as he earned a miraculous double up.

Level 28 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Martin Lechner raised to 120,000 under the gun, John Clements moved all in for 260,000 in the big blind, and Lechner called.

The 5♣A♣A♦ flop was a disaster for Clements, as Lechner hit trips. Clements was left with just two outs, and he hit one of them on the 6♥ turn to make a full house. The river was the 3♦ and Clements doubled up.
