The Nine-Deuce

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Szymon Wysocki raised to 36,000 on the button and called a three-bet to 85,000 from small blind Vincent Chua. The flop came {2-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} and Chua bet 90,000. Wysocki called. Both checked the {3-Clubs} and {8-Spades} and Chua announced king-high. Wysocki tabled {9-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}.

"Nine-deuce?" came a surprised remark from a player returning to the table.

Au Takes from Engel

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Picking up the action on the {A-Clubs}{A-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{8-Clubs} turn, Ari Engel checked out of the big blind and Kim Au bet 85,000 from under the gun, which Engel called. On the {7-Clubs} river, Engel checked once more and Au bet 155,000. Engel was sent deep into the think tank and he eventually called before mucking to the {A-Spades}{3-Spades} of Au.

At the same time one table over, Ben Richardson opened from the button to 35,000 and Espen Solaas in the small blind three-bet to 120,000. Mike Del Vecchio four-bet to 280,000 and that quickly forced out Richardson. Solaas however five-bet all in and Del Vecchio asked for a count. The shove of the Norwegian was for 1,189,000 and Del Vecchio called.

Espen Solaas: {A-Spades}{Q-Spades}
Mike Del Vecchio: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}

Solaas had a back door flush draw on the {J-Hearts}{7-Spades}{5-Diamonds} flop, but the {6-Clubs} turn and {10-Diamonds} river ensured a split pot.

Hahn Doubles Through Palmer

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Michael Hahn
Michael Hahn

Michael Hahn open-shoved for 184,000 and scooped the blinds and antes. The next hand, Beau Palmer opened to 40,000 and Hahn defended the big blind. On the {8-Spades}{7-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} flop, Hahn moved all in and Palmer called.

Michael Hahn: {Q-Clubs}{6-Clubs}
Beau Palmer: {9-Hearts}{8-Clubs}

"I got one of his outs," Palmer said to his rail and the {4-Clubs} turn immediately improved Hahn to a straight. Palmer needed a six to deal the final blow to his opponent, but instead, it was the insignificant {8-Hearts} river that completed the board and ensured Hahn's double for 178,000.
