Gaonach Jams Into Inoue's Aces

David Salituro

Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Yoshihiro Inoue and Patrick Gaonach saw a flop of 10♥5♠Q♦ when Inoue bet 200,000 from the cutoff. Gaonach then moved all in for 700,000 in the big blind, and Inoue snap-called.

Patrick Gaonach: Q♠2♥ All in
Yoshihiro Inoue: A♦A♣

Gaonach had flopped top pair, but Inoue showed down two aces to leave him at risk of elimination. The rest of the board ran out A♠5♦ and Inoue improved to a full house to secure the pot and send Gaonach to the rail.

Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Vladimir Lipnitskii opened to 80,000 from the cutoff and Scott Margereson called on the button.

Cameron Hunt also defended the big blind, taking the players three-ways to the flop.

The 9♠8♠A♠ flop prompted Hunt to check, and Lipnitskii to bet 110,000. Margereson folded, and Hunt called.

Hunt checked the 10♥ turn and Lipnitskii tanked before moving all in. Hunt snap-called, and the players flipped their hands.

Cameron Hunt: K♠7♠ All in
Vladimir Lipnitskii: A♦2♦

Hunt had flopped the nut flush and there was no coming back from Lipnitskii even though the river brought another ace A♣.

Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Benedict Cullen raised to 80,000 under the gun before Karel Havelka three-bet to 220,000 in the small blind. Cullen then moved all in for 600,000, and Havelka snap-called.

Benedict Cullen: A♠A♥ All in
Karel Havelka: K♥K♠

Cullen was on the right side of the cooler and poised for a double up, but Havelka spiked a set on the K♣8♣3♥ flop. The 3♠ turn improved him to a full house, while the 9♠ fell on the river and Cullen was sent to the rail.

At another table, Yael Pilo Raz had moved all in for 690,000 on the button and Luis Moreira put her at risk in the hijack.

Yael Pilo Raz: 6♣6♥ All in
Luis Moreira: 10♦10♣

Raz was dominated by Moreira's tens, and she couldn't catch up on the A♠5♥7♥Q♦5♣ board as Moreira scored the knockout.

David Urban raised to 80,000 in middle position. Scott Margereson three-bet to 320,000 from the small blind, and Urban called.

Margereson continued for 240,000 on the 2♥8♦Q♣ flop, seeing Urban toss in calling chips. The 7♦ turn slowed Margereson down, as he checked it over to Urban.

Urban took the initiative with a bet of 400,000, which Margereson called. The 9♦ river was then quickly checked to showdown.

Margereson sheepishly tabled A♣7♣ for middle pair. Urban showed 10♦10♠ for a higher pair, awarding him the sizable pot.
