Aces vs Aces

Level 6 : 300/500, 500 ante

A player opened to 2,000 and Chengjie Ji three-bet to 6,500. Ryota Matsumoto the three-bet to 20,000 and the initial raiser folded.

Ji then four-bet all in and Matsumoto snap-called.

Chengjie Ji: {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}
Ryota Matsumoto: {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}

It was the fabled aces versus aces situation and players waited with bated breath as the flop came {q-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{4-Hearts}. There was a loud "oooh" as the {3-Clubs} turn gave Matsumoto a flush draw and he wiggled the {a-Clubs} in expectation.

However, the river was the {3-Spades} and the pair chopped the pot.

Small Double for Gilboa

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante
Uri Gilboa
Uri Gilboa

Already on his second bullet, Uri Gilboa open-shoved from the hijack for 6,500. The cutoff called and the remaining players folded.

Uri Gilboa: {j-Spades}{10-Clubs}
Opponent: {6-Clubs}{6-Spades}

Gilboa picked up both straight and flush draws on the {a-Spades}{4-Spades}{k-Spades} flop and the {a-Hearts} turn gave him extra counterfeit outs, with a king giving him a better two pair.

However, the bare minimum he needed was a pair and he hit a {j-Diamonds} on the river to stay alive.

Small Double With Bottom Set

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante

On a {2-Hearts}{k-Spades}{8-Clubs} flop, a player bet 3,200 and Bin Zhao moved all in for 5,600 from the button. His opponent put in the 1,400 extra to call and showed {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}

However, he was in bad shape against the {2-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} flopped set of Zhao.

The turn and river were both aces {a-Spades}{a-Clubs} and the pot was pushed to Zhao.

There was a moment's hesitation as the player thought he should have won, having rivered trips, but it gave Zhao a full house and the player eventually smiled at his mistake.

Jin Busts One with Kings

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante

Yongbae Jin gave an essential boost on his stack, winning a preflop all in that caused the elimination of a player.

Jin was holding {k-Spades}{k-Clubs} and he was a big favorite versus his opponent's {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}.

The board ran out {4-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{7-Clubs}{6-Hearts}, and Jin is up to 94,000 chips.
