Aces Don't Hold for Saliba

Level 25 : 5,000/10,000, 1,250 ante

Action folded to "BrunoZika1" in the small blind, who jammed to put Vivian "Vivi.888." Saliba all-in. Saliba snapped called and was a huge favourite for a double after turning over pocket aces.

Vivian "Vivi.888." Saliba: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}
"BrunoZika1": {q-Clubs}{8-Spades}

Saliba was still in front on the {10-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{4-Spades} flop but disaster struck for the Brazilian on the {q-Spades} turn. She failed to improve on the {9-Spades} river meaning her rockets ran out fuel against her opponents turned two-pair.

"BRAKPOKER" Bubbles Tune Up

Level 23 : 3,500/7,000, 875 ante

"BRAKPOKER" put in his last 4,000 from under the gun before Dominic "billy_slater" Coombe raised to 14,000 to isolate the potential bubble-boy. His raise worked and both players were off to a runout.

"BRAKPOKER": {k-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}
Dominic "billy_slater" Coombe: {a-Spades}{10-Clubs}

The {j-Spades}{7-Spades}{3-Spades} flop was not what "BRAKPOKER" was hoping for and none of his prayers were answered after Coombe took the pot after the {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts} runout.

Coombe Halts "Breinholds"

Level 23 : 3,500/7,000, 875 ante

Former big stack "Breinholds" found themselves all-in and at-risk with a short stack against Dominic "billy_slater" Coombe.

"Breinholds": {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}
Dominic "billy_slater" Coombe: {q-Spades}{j-Clubs}

Coombe hit hardest on the {q-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} flop and had his opponent drawing dead on the {q-Clubs} turn. The {k-Spades} river was just a formality.
