Jordaan Gets Counterfeited

Level 14 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Leon Jordaan got his stack of 89,500 in the middle from the small blind against Thomas Trotman-Dickenson in the big blind, who played the covering stack.

Leon Jordaan: 33
Thomas Trotman-Dickenson: AQ

Jordaan remained safe on the 599J runout, but the J river counterfeited his pocket pair as he ended up playing the board. Trotman-Dickenson's ace kicker played, seeing him obtain a stack of 40 big blinds.

Dervan Gambles It Up

Level 14 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Audrius Daugvilavicius had open-raised from the hijack when Francis Dervan jammed all in from the button. The action folded back to Daugvilavicius, who put a small portion of his big stack at risk to make the call.

Francis Dervan: A3
Audrius Daugvilavicius: A8

Dervan was self-admittedly ready to jump in Day 1f, but the 1043 flop made him sit back down. His bottom pair held on the 79 runout, and he doubled up to around 14 big blinds.

Wilson Wins Flip

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Darren Nolan raised his button to 8,000 chips before Charles Wilson three-bet jammed from the small blind for 63,500. Leon Jordaan then rejammed from the big blind, covering both of his opponents.

Nolan went into the tank but eventually folded reluctantly, leading the other two players to show down.

Charles Wilson: AJ
Leon Jordaan: 66

The flop brought a pair for Wilson with AK4. The 4 turn and 8 river did not bring a six on the board, and Wilson doubled up to a more manageable stack.

Leckey Hits Two Pair

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Paul Leckey
Paul Leckey

Matthew Blaney raised to 10,000 from early position and Paul Leckey defended his big blind. The flop came down 763 and Leckey check-called the 10,000 continuation-bet of Blaney.

The 4 turn then saw Leckey take the lead with a bet of 22,000 chips. Blaney made a quick call and the K river emerged from the deck.

Leckey did not let up and put 25,000 more in the middle. Blaney took a while to think things over, but ultimately threw in a chip for the call.

Leckey showed down K3 for rivered two pair and Blaney's cards swiftly hit the muck.
