Aces vs Kings

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

With Michael Oscuro {k-}{k-} on the button and Paul Tartak {a-}{a-} in the small blind, Tartak was all-in.

The board of {q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} {10-} {9-Hearts} was good for Tartak, with his aces holding.

"He's been 3-betting me all day and I finally had a hand to play back with" said Oscuro.

Embleton With a Boat, But Out Shortly After

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Daniel Embleton was all-in pre-flop against Michael Brahim. Embleton with pocket queens, Brahim with ace-jack.

The flop of {q-Hearts}{10-}{9-} with the queen in the window looked good initially for Embleton, but only for a split second, as it also gave Brahim the up and down straight draw.

The turn was {k-} and Brahim had hit the straight, but the river {10-} filled up Embleton and he doubled up to around 100,000.

The relief was short-lived though, as he was knocked out shortly after, running into pocket aces.

Luciano Flops A Flush

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Majed Haddad, David Nirens and Sammy Luciano were in a pot where Nirens bet the monotone flop of {3-Spades}{4-Spades}{j-Spades} and both Luciano and Haddad called.

On the turn of {a-Clubs}, Nirens continue with the lead, betting 50,000. Luciano then raised to 150,000, Haddad called and Nirens folded.

On the river {k-Diamonds}, Luciano casually picked up a stack of blue 5K chips worth 80,000 and put them in the middle, leaving himself with about the same behind. Haddad called and was shown Luciano's {k-Spades}{q-Spades} for a flopped flush.

Haddad showed the {a-Spades} as he mucked, and Luciano scooped a pool of chips that took a couple hands to stack.
