O'Reilly Takes From Black

Tim Baker

Level 16 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Andy Black raised to 10,000 under the gun and Neil O'Reilly shoved for about 50,000 from the button. After getting a count from the dealer, Black made the call to put O'Reilly at risk.

Neil O'Reilly: J♣J♦ All in
Andy Black: A♥10♥

O'Reilly just had to fade an ace or some hearts to survive. The flop of J♥8♣2♠ was great for O'Reilly as he improved to top set;. The rest of the board ran out 10♦9♦ and O'Reilly doubled through Black.

Black was left with under 100,000 chips and was eliminated a few hands later.

Level 16 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

With the flop showing 8♣5♠8♥ Alec Torelli bet 11,000 from the button and was met by a check-raise to 37,000 by Jonathan Proudfoot out of the big blind. Torelli thought for a few moments, then made the call.

Proudfoot continued with a bet of 100,000 on the 4♣ turn. Torelli called.

The 3♠ dropped on the river and Proudfoot opted to check. Torelli checked back and showed 8♠7♠ for trip eights, which was good as Proudfoot mucked.

Level 16 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Ignas Navickas opened to 10,000 from the cutoff, and he was called by Gerard Harraghy, who defended from the big blind.

On a flop of K♥9♦3♣, Navickas continued for 5,000, but Harraghy check-raised all-in for approximately 40,000. Navickas snap-called.

Gerard Harraghy: 9♠7♥ All in
Ignas Navickas: K♣J♦

Both players flopped a pair, but Navickas had the best one and it stayed this way after the 8♣10♥ runout so Harraghy was eliminated.
