Huang Doubles Through Hsiao

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

Xuefeng Huang opened in middle position and called a three-bet to 4,000 from Weikuo Hsiao, who was in the big blind. The flop came {3-Spades}{10-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}, and Hsiao bet 5,100. Huang called. Hsiao fired again for 11,000 on the {6-Clubs} turn, and Huang shoved all in. Hsiao didn't seem pleased but seemingly felt obligated to call for just 6,200 more.

Hsiao: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}
Huang: {q-Hearts}{j-Spades}

The river was a {7-Hearts}, and the jacks were good for a double.

Hsiao, who was once by far the chip leader, is now below the starting stack.

Double for Chan

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

Justin Chan opened to 1,800 in middle position and called a three-bet to 4,200 from an opponent on the button. The flop came {2-Clubs}{4-Spades}{j-Clubs} and Chan checked. The player on the button set Chan in 12,700, and Chan quickly called with {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}. He was fading clubs and kings as his opponent had {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}, but the turn was a {10-Spades} and the river a {6-Hearts} to keep the jacks best.

Huang Flops Trips to Win Flip

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

Xuefeng Huang opened for 2,000 in middle position and thought briefly before calling the all-in shove of a player in the small blind who had 14,100.

Huang: {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
Small blind: {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}

Huang pumped his fist when he was {8-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{k-Clubs} flop. The {9-Spades} and {3-Hearts} on the turn and river sent the pot his way.

Demicki Sniffs Out the Airball

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Daniel Demicki
Daniel Demicki

Daniel Demicki three-bet to 6,000 from the big blind and got a call from the player in the cutoff. Both checked the {6-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} flop and the turn was a {5-Diamonds}. Demicki bet 9,000 and his opponent immediately shoved all in for 47,600. Demicki thought briefly and then called.

Demicki: {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Cutoff: {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}

Demicki had just four outs to fade, and the {7-Spades} wasn't one of them. The Polish player just moved over from the High Roller, where he finished sixth, but he already has four starting stacks.
