A Couple of Jams

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Hicham Hmadouch jammed for 400,000 from under the gun and Sergiu Sirbu called from the big blind.

Hicham Hmadouch: J♦10♥All in
Sergiu Sirbu: 3♠3♣

Hmadouch doubled up, making kings and jacks on the K♦J♣8♦K♣6♥ runout.

On the next deal, Mick The Fish shoved from the button and Sergiu Sirbu called off his small stack in the small blind.

Mick The Fish was caught speeding with Jx2x and was up against Sirbu's AxQx. Sirbu recovered quickly, holding out on the A♥9♦2♥5♦4♦ board.

Federico Brunato

When Federico Brunato looks across the live poker landscape, he doesn't spend much time worrying about what other operators are doing. In fact, he thinks that's one of the biggest mistakes they make.

The King's Resort CEO believes too many venues shape their schedules around competitors instead of building a long-term identity of their own. For Brunato, success comes from setting clear goals, sticking to a strategy, and creating ideas that others eventually want to copy.

Tristan Barbisan: A♥4♦All in
Randy Marsh: 6♣6♥

Barbisan whiffed the K♦J♠3♣ flop and 5♦ turn but the A♠ river gave him the better pair for the double up.

Action was caught with cards on their backs. Hicham Hmadouch was all-in and at risk for his last 295,000.

Hicham Hmadouch: A♠5♠All in
King of Kings: 10♣10♠

Hmadouch flopped a flush draw, and then turned ace to take the lead. The final board read J♠3♠Q♥A♦2♥ and the short stack got more than a double as there was some dead money in the pot.
