Belkheir's Five is No Good

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

The board was {5-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{j-Clubs} and the pot had about 50,000 in it. Yann Belkheir sat in the big blind and he checked to his opponent. Belkheir had about 32,000 behind.

His opponent sat in late position and he checked behind after a while and they opened up. Belkheir showed {5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} but his pair of fives wasn't good enough as his opponent had rivered a better pair with {j-Spades}{8-Clubs}.

Joa Pinto Doubles Up

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

It folded all the way around to Alexandre Joa Pinto in the small blind and he had a little under ten big blinds in front of him. He found {k-Hearts}{8-Hearts} and he pushed it all to the middle. The player in the big blind thought about and it took a while before she made a decision.

She eventually called after she looked at the clock and she opened up {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}.

The board ran out {j-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{j-Clubs} and Joa Pinto won the pot with his king-eight to secure a much needed double-up.
