White Doubles Through Singh

Dan O'Hair

Blinds: 1,000/2,500/2,500

Andrew White and Geetinder Singh were faced with a K♥9♥7♦ flop and White checked from the big blind. Singh bet 5,000 on the button and White check-raised to 16,500.

Undeterred, Geetinder announced he was all in and White called all in for 95,500 total.

Andrew White: 9♦7♥All in
Geetinder Singh: K♠6♥

White held a solid lead with his two pair and the 7♣6♠ runout gave him an unnecessary full house for the double up.

Following the encounter, Singh was left with just 50,000 while White has 200,000 with one additional bullet behind.

At the other table, Aaron Li has mounted a comeback and currently sits about even with Dale Marsland.

Blinds: 1,000/1,500/1,500

Jon-Peter Rounce Sue shoved for all but a few hundred chips on the button and Ricardo Bono three-bet to put Sue all in. Sue called and hands were revealed.

Jon-Peter Rounce Sue: J♥4♠All in
Ricardo Bono: A♥3♣

Sue was behind and in need of help, but the Q♥3♥8♥6♦5♦ runout left Bono best with a pair of threes to send him into the semifinals.

Blinds: 600/1,200/1,200

Travis Endersby had already reloaded for his final bullet and was faced with an all in from Tom Mcguire on a completed board of Q♠7♦5♠4♣9♥ with a large pot already in the middle.

Endersby tanked for quite a while before finally deciding to commit his remaining chips into the middle.

Mcguire tabled 8♣6♥ for the nuts and Endersby showed he held 5♦2♣ for a light call.

"Nice hand!" Endersby offered before getting up from his seat.

Endersby Reloads

Blinds: 500/1,000/1,000

Tom Mcguire and Travis Endersby had a K♦9♦2♣ flop in front of them and got into a raising war that ended with Endersby all in for his first bullet.

Travis Endersby: K♥J♠All in
Tom Mcguire: K♣10♣

Endersby was a big favorite to double up, but the 10♦ turn paired Mcguire's ten to improve him to two pair for the lead.

The 2♠ river bricked out and Endersby chose to reload for a single bullet with one more behind.

Blinds: 2,500/5,000/5,000

Tom Mcguire open shoved on the button and Joseph Antar peeked down at his hole cars and committed his final 70,000 into the middle.

Joseph Antar: K♣2♥All in
Tom Mcguire: K♦10♣

"Ah, darn it!" Antar said upon seeing his king was dominated.

The dealer brought a J♦J♣4♥3♦8♣ runout, which meant Mcguire's ten-kicker played to earn a seat into the round of eight.
