Weng's Aces Help Her Bust Jaworski

Tim Baker

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Chien Chih Weng and Marcin Jaworski just got all of their chips in preflop. Jaworski had slightly less chips, so he was the player at risk of elimination,

Marcin Jaworski : J♠J♥
Chien Chih Weng: A♣A♠

There was help for Jaworski on the 10♥7♦7♣K♣8♠ runout which meant Weng's aces would hold up, and she would virtually earn a full double up.

With over 40,000 in the middle Gerard Rubiralta, who was in the big blind was seen smoke-betting 2,500 as the 9♦6♦4♦J♠ turn hit the felt. Nick Palma began the hand from under the gun and was Rubiralta's only opponent. He pushed his last 2,000 chips across the line, putting himself at risk, and both players revealed their hands.

Nick Palma: Q♣Q♥ All in
Gerard Rubiralta: 10♦7♦

Rubiralta had flopped a flush against the over pair of Palma, leaving him drawing dead as the dealer completed the board with the 7♣ river.

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

The action was caught in a battle of the blinds between Elias Fisz and Alf-Inge Olsen on a board of 3♥9♣J♠3♦. Fisz bet 16,500, which Olsen called.

Fisz opted to check when the 9♦ appeared on the river. Olsen then moved all in for the remaining 28,000 in Fisz's stack. Fisz went deep into the tank, thinking for a few minutes before, eventually, he reluctantly folded and relinquished the pot to Olsen.

Alexander Donev raised to 2,500 from middle position. Chien Chih Weng three-bet to 8,000 from the cutoff. Alban Juen four-bet to 35,000, leaving just a few T-100 chips behind. Donev folded, and Weng put Juen all in. Juen called.

Alban Juen: A♣J♣ All in
Chien Chih Weng: J♠J♥

The flop of 10♣9♥5♠ kept Weng ahead with her jacks. The K♠ on the turn provided Juen with some extra outs, which came in on the Q♦ river, improving him to the nut straight and earning him the double up.
