Now Watch Me You, Crank That Nick Yunis

From the hijack seat, Nick Yunis raised to 9,000. Chino Rheem three-bet from the cutoff seat to 27,000 and play folded back to Yunis. He reraised all in and had Rheem covered. With about 98,000 behind, Rheem tanked and then made the call.

Rheem: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
Yunis: {A-Spades}{Q-Spades}

The flop came down {A-Clubs}{9-Spades}{7-Diamonds} and Yunis took the lead with a pair of aces. The {3-Spades} on turn kept him there and actually took an out away from Rheem as the {10-Spades} was no longer good. The river was just that, the {10-Spades}, and it won Yunis the hand with a flush despite Rheem hitting a set. Yunis collected the chips and Rheem was sent to the rail.

Top Pair Good for Augdal

Action was checked around on the three-way flop of {A-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{2-Clubs} between Nicolas Fierro, Terje Augdal and Team PokerStars Pro Jonathan Duhamel before the {5-Spades} landed on the turn. After Fierro checked, Augdal bet 9,000. Duhamel called and Fierro folded.

The river completed the board with the {10-Hearts} and Augdal checked. Duhamel checked behind.

Augdal tabled the {A-Spades}{3-Clubs} and beat the {K-Spades}{Q-Spades} for Duhamel to win the pot.

Shak's a Sicko

Dan Shak and Chris Hunichen were heads up with the board reading {k-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}. Shak check-called a 8,500-chip bet from Hunichen, and both players checked after the {a-Diamonds} turned. The {q-Diamonds} completed the board, and Shak checked a third time. Hunichen tossed out 10,000, and Shak quickly called.

Hunichen tabled {7-Spades}{6-Spades}, and Shak paused before opening up his hand.

"Is that a seven?" he said, squinting at the board.

Hunichen nodded, and Shak tabled {k-Clubs}{2-Clubs} for a pair of kings. He won the pot, and is now flirting with 300,000 chips.

Haxton Finds Another Double

Sam Stein opened from under the gun to 6,000 and action folded to Isaac Haxton in the small blind. He reraised all in for 74,500. After a minute or two in the tank, Stein called, but saw bad news when he did.

Haxton tabled a dominating {A-Spades}{K-Spades} to Stein's {A-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}. From there, the board ran out {K-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{10-Spades} and Haxton doubled up.
