Rountree Rolls the Die With Song

Kirk Brown

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Collin Rountree moved all in preflop for around 40,000 and the action folded around to Yunkyu Song who was thinking about it.

He then busted out his 20-sided die and turned to Rountree...

"Ok, you roll it, if its six and under, I call," he said, and Rountree picked it up and rolled a five. Song then held true to his word and quickly called to put Rountree at risk.

Collin Rountree: A♦K♣
YunkyuSong: 6♦6♥

The board ran out 7♦5♥Q♣Q♠9♠ for Song's sixes to hold and he scooped the pot while Rountree was sent to the rail .

Andrade Takes Pot with Better Pair

Kirk Brown

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

The board read 5♦8♠A♥K♦ in the heads-up pot when Robert Burnett check-called a bet of 16,000 from big stack Gabriel Andrade.

The pot then had around 60,000 in it when the river rolled off the J♠. Burnett checked once more and then Andrade decided to check back.

"jack," Andrade announced and showed J♥9♣, which turned out to be good against Burnett's 4♦5♦ for a pair of fives.

Gabriel Andrade	565,000 165,000	165,000
