A Flip for Ji

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Xiaqing Ji was all in, and threatening to eliminate his opponent, with {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} against {a-Spades}{j-Hearts}.

The flop didn't give much of a hope to the other player, with the {k-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} giving a set to Ji, who had his opponent drawing dead after the {6-Diamonds} on the turn. The {k-Clubs} on the river just improved him to a full house.

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

A player opened under-the-gun, a middle position player shoved, and Yuichiro Harada was in the small blind, re-shoving his own stack.

Harada: {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}
All-in Player: {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}

The board ran out {a-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} and Harada kept his advantage to bust a player.

The player under the gun opened to 2,300 and Arravind Udayakumar three-bet to 4,600. The initial raiser called.

The dealer dealt the flop, but as she spread the flop she realized that she had burned twice. However, with the flop already exposed there was no way to reassemble the deck in the correct order.

The floor was called who decided that the flop would remain {2-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} and that there would be no card burned on the turn.

Both players checked and the turn was the {2-Diamonds}. It checked to Udayakumar who bet 5,100 and his opponent called.

The player checked the {9-Hearts} river to Udayakumar who bet 15,000 and was called. He showed {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} for a rivered full house and took down the pot.
