Rau Gets the Jump but Not the Double

Georgios Tavoularis

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

The flop 4♥8♥A♣ was already dealt, and Philip Joyce had a bet of 75,000 in front of him, enough to put his opponent, Eduard Rau, all in. Rau used some of his timebanks, and when he was sure he secured a pay jump he made the call.

Eduard Rau: K♥10♣ All in
Philip Joyce: Q♦J♣

Rau's king-high was ahead of Joyce's hand. The 10♠ on the turn improved Rau to a pair but also gave Joyce many new outs with a double-gutter. The dealer revealed the J♦ on the river, giving Joyce a pair of jacks to eliminate Rau and further climb the leaderboard.

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

With around 75,000 chips already in the middle on a J♥8♣K♦6♣ board, Sylwia Studniarz checked from the big blind and Darko Percic fired 35,000 from middle position. Studniarz then raised to 75,000, and Percic wasted no time in shoving for around 150,000 total. Studniarz called.

Darko Percic: K♥Q♦ All in
Sylwia Studniarz: J♣8♦

Percic had top pair, but needed to find some help on the river as Studniarz had flopped two pair. An A♦ river was no help to Percic, who tapped the table and made his way to the payout desk.
