Sam Higgs
Sam Higgs

Ricky Vikas opened to 12,000 from under the gun and action folded around to Sam Higgs on the button who called. The big blind also defended taking the players three-ways to the flop.

The K72 flop was checked to Higgs who bet 16,000 and only Vikas called. The 2 was turned and Vikas checked. Higgs asked for 25,000 and Vikas paid to see the J river.

Vikas checked, Higgs bet 95,000 which was enough to force a fold from Vikas.

James Hachem
James Hachem

Sooriya Rajeswaran opened to 12,000 first to act and was called by Wei Han on the button. James Hachem then annonced he was all in for his last 95,000 from the big blind, which got a fold from Rajeswaran and a call from Han to be put at risk.

James Hachem: AQAll in
Wei Han: 98

The Q67 flop kept Hachem in the lead with a pair of queens, but gave Han a sweat with an open-ended straight draw.

The J turn and 2 river bricked out, however, and Hachem was awarded the double up.

Pham's Aces Get Cracked

Level 14 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Alan Pham
Alan Pham

Rithy Chhay used all in his time banks before a calling all in for his last 64,000, with Alan Pham putting him at risk.

Rithy Chhay: 88 All in
Alan Pham: AA

Chhay joked that he was always calling, but he paid for the time banks, so wanted to get his money worth. He would need help to stay alive, and found some on the 1084 flop, taking the lead with middle set.

However, Chhay wasn't out of the woods yet, as Pham picked up a flush draw on the flop as well. But the 6 changed nothing, and the 4 on the river improved Chhay to a full house to stay in the tournament, albeit with no more time banks.
