Yang Coolers Hussain to the Rail

David Salituro

Level 21 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Gaoyang Yang raised to 24,000 in middle position and was called by Yasong Tang in the hijack, Daniyaal Hussain in the cutoff, and Dean Hutchison in the big blind.

Action checked to Hussain on the K♣10♣6♣ flop and he bet 42,000. Only Yang called.

Hussain then bet 104,000 on the 8♦ turn, but this time Yang came back with an all-in shove. Hussain snap-called for 220,000 and turned over 6♠6♦ for a set, but Yang had a higher set with 10♠10♥.

The river was the 3♣ and Yang took the big pot to send Hussain to the rail.

Level 20 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Michael Kane raised to 80,000 in middle position, leaving only a few chips behind, and Anthony Galloway moved all in for 160,000 in the cutoff. Jack Hardcastle then reshoved on the button, and Kane called off his last few chips.

Michael Kane: 4♣4♥ All in
Anthony Galloway: A♥A♠
Jack Hardcastle: 10♣10♦

Galloway had found two aces, but the 10♠ fell right in the window to give Hardcastle a set, followed by 3♦4♠ as Kane also hit a set. The 2♣ turn gave Galloway some outs with a straight, but he missed the 6♠ river and both he and Kane were sent to the rail.

Level 20 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Michael Aspell raised to 20,000 in the cutoff, Majid Iqbal moved all in from the small blind, and Aspell called.

Michael Aspell: K♥K♦ All in
Majid Iqbal: A♣Q♥

Iqbal was looking for an ace against Aspell's kings, but he missed the 4♥J♣9♥7♠5♠ board and began wishing his tablemates good luck. A count of the chips, though, showed he had Aspell covered by just 10,000, and he sat back down to an extreme short stack.

At another table, Vasileios Kontogiannis and Martin Byrne tangled in another all-in pot as Kontogiannis had his last 80,000 in from under the gun.

Vasileios Kontogiannis: Q♥J♥ All in
Martin Byrne: A♦K♠

Kontogiannis again took the lead on the J♦8♠2♣ flop, then improved to two pair on the Q♣ turn. Byrne couldn't hit the 9♥ river this time, and Kontogiannis doubled right back.

Martin Byrne: A♠Q♥ All in
Vasileios Kontogiannis: K♦J♦

Kontogiannis hit top pair on the K♣2♠9♠ flop to take the lead, while the J♠ turn gave him two pair. Byrne picked up straight and flush draws, and he hit his flush on the 7♠ river to win the pot and double up.
