Jia Sends Opponent Packing
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
A player limped from under the gun as did a player in middle position and a player in late position. Anxi Jia then moved all in for around 38,000 from the cutoff and was only called by the under the gun player, who had just a few chips left.
Under The Gun Player: 
Anxi Jia: 
Jia had his opponent on the ropes with the 
flop leaving the at risk player hoping for a chop. It was not to be, however, as the board ran out 
to keep Jia chipping up.

Smith Makes a Straight
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
A player moved all in from under the gun and action folded around to Chris Smith on the button who re-jammed. The blinds got out of the way and the under the gun player was officially at risk.
Under The Gun Player: 
Chris Smith: 
Smith had his opponent dominated and was in good position to score the knockout. That all changed when the flop came 
pairing his opponent's kicker. The 
turn only made matters worse for Smith but he was able to find the 
on the river to make a straight and win the pot.
