[user57954]

The action folded around to the small blind who put Lily Bui to a decision for all of her remaining 4,500. She found pocket jacks once again and insta-called; her opponent tabled K-8 offsuit. The board bricked out and Bui now has right around 11,000 in chips.

Crocky Doubles Up

[user57954]

Just before the break, Billy "The Croc" Argyros doubled up through the large stack of Aleks Lackovic. With such a large stack in front him, it is believed that Lackovic accidentally threw out chips of the wrong denomination, betting far more than he intended. Crocky didn't mind at all when he looked down at pocket kings. The {Q-Hearts}

of Lackovic was no match, and Crocky doubled up to around 17,000 chips.
