Gao Doubles Through Arnwine

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Shouyi Gao
Shouyi Gao

Shouyi Gao opened from under-the-gun and was called by Justin Arnwine in the big blind.

Both players checked on the {9-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} flop and Arnwine led out for 40,000 on the {3-Hearts} turn. Gao called.

The {k-Spades} completed the board and Arnwine announced he was all in, which was enough to put Gao all in for his remaining 165,000. Gao snap called and Arnwine could only show {j-Spades}{10-Clubs} for a busted straight draw. Gao tabled {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} for a rivered pair of kings and doubled up.

Arnwine was left with 90,000 after the hand and busted shortly after.

Helpard Doubles Through Dickstein

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

A short-stacked Dave Helpard was all in for around 50,000 from under-the-gun against Mark Dickstein, who was in middle position and had Helpard covered.

Dave Helpard: {a-Hearts}{5-Hearts}
Mark Dickstein: {k-Spades}{k-}

The {q-Clubs}{j-Spades}{9-Diamonds} flop was good for Dickstein, but a {a-Spades} turn vaulted Helpard into the lead with a pair of aces.

The {3-Hearts} failed to help Dickstein and he was forced to surrender a good portion of his stack to Helpard.
