Argyros Still King

Level 28 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

After almost half an hour of play, we've finally seen a river card.

The hand started with Billy "The Croc" Argyros completing the call from the small blind, and having Jiajun Liu check behind. The flop came down {3-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{2-Hearts}. Argyros had checked dark, and Liu followed suit. Both players again checked as the {k-Diamonds} fell on the turn.

On the {8-Hearts} river, Argyros bet out 125,000 and watched as Liu came over the top for a 250,000 bet. He quickly made the call and watched as Liu turned over his {a-Diamonds}{9-Spades} for ace-high. Argyros the rolled over his {k-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} for top pair, and scooped in the pot.

Andre Fades The Spades

Level 28 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Cyril Andre limped into the pot from the small blind before Billy "The Croc" Argyros popped it to 255,000 from the big blind. Andre made the call and the two would see a flop of {J-Spades}{k-Hearts}{3-Spades}.

Andre checked it over to Argyros who bet 250,000. Andre responded with a check-raise to what appeared to be 525,000, but before it could be cut down, Argyros was quickly motioning for the triangle all-in button and just as fast, Andre had made the call!

Andre: {K-Spades}{J-Diamonds}
Argyros: {2-Spades}{8-Spades}

The Croc was getting creative and went with his flush draw, but Andre had flopped top two pair! Argyros would need to find a spade however the {2-Hearts} turn card brought a few more outs if the board could run out with running deuces. The dealer burned and revealed a bricky {9-Hearts} on the river to see Andre's stack of 1.75 million doubled as Agyros slips back into the pack with 3.1 million.
