Tu Sails His Way into the Lead

Level 31 : 120,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

The turned board read {9-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} and a player checked to Daniel Tu who threw in a bet. His opponent check-raised all in and Tu called, tabling {4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} for a set of sailboats.

His opponent tabled {5-Spades}{5-Clubs}, giving them a pair of nickels and the river bricked off, sending the massive pot to Tu who now has the lead.

Bryann Tiam
Bryann Tiam

Jonathan Press opened to 800,000 from the cutoff, Bryann Tiam called on the button and the dealer fanned out {q-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{4-Spades} on the flop.

Press continued for 800,000 and Tiam called to see the {8-Clubs} turn card. Press tapped the table, Tiam then pushed in 1,650,000 and Press called without hesitation.

The dealer flipped over an {8-Hearts} and both players checked. Tiam tabled {k-Spades}{q-Spades} for queens over eights with a king kicker and it was good when Press showed the same two pair but a lower kicker, tabling {q-Hearts}{j-Clubs}.

The flop showed {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{5-Hearts} and a player led out for 1,200,000. Eric Rivera raised to 3,200,000 and his opponent elected to move all in, totaling about 4,000,000.

"Good game sir," said Rivera as he snap-called, tabling {a-Hearts}{q-Spades} for three ladies and his opponent then tabled {7-Spades}{7-Diamonds} for two pair.

The {a-Clubs} turn gave Rivera a boat and his opponent was then drawing dead to the {5-Clubs} river card, shipping the pot to Rivera.
