Chen Charging

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

The board ran out {k-Clubs}{5-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{a-Clubs} to hold for the sevens and Chen took the remainder of his opponents stack to envelope into his own huge one.

Phillp Rinaldi was all in with {k-}{k-} against the {a-}{a-} of Hari Krishna in a classic cooler situation. But the flop provided Rinaldi with a third king and the run out stayed ace free to give Rinaldi an ace-cracking double up to leave Krishna very short.

Awad's Aces Attack

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

George Awad had an opportunity to bust two players in one hand on a flop of {4-Clubs}{q-Spades}{j-Clubs}. Awad turned over the {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades} which was well ahead of the {3-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} of his first opponent and was also ahead of the {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs} of Suong Kim.

The turn changed nothing when the {6-Diamonds} fell and the river {k-Spades} confirmed the double knockout for Awad.
