Guan Binks an Ace For a Double

Level 23 : 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Ricky Guan jammed for 145,000 from the cutoff, and Michael Hanelin three-bet shoved for 400,000 on the button, chasing out the blinds.

Ricky Guan: {a-Clubs}{2-Spades}
Michael Hanelin: {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

Guan found an ace in the window on the {k-Hearts}{7-Spades}{a-Diamonds} flop, and doubled when the {7-Clubs} turn and {7-Hearts} river failed to provide Hanelin with a queen.

Guan Rivers a Miracle Chop

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Albert Ng raised to 45,000 from the cutoff, and Ricky Guan called in the big blind.

Guan bet 90,000 of his 95,000 remaining chips on the {4-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{j-Clubs} flop, then called off the last 5,000 when Ng raised.

Ricky Guan: {7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}
Albert Ng: {a-Spades}{7-Clubs}

"That's no fun," Guan said after the {j-Spades} turn left him looking for a jack or seven to chop.

"That'll work!" Guan exclaimed when the {7-Spades} river gave both players the same full house, prompting Ng to grin and say, "What? I wanted to knock you out so badly! C'mon, Ricky!'

Nguyen Gets a Big Double Through Peterson

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Albert Ng raised to 45,000 from the button, and Bjorn Peterson called in the big blind.

Peterson checked the {3-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} flop to Ng, who bet 60,000. Peterson check-raised all in, and Ng quickly called for his last 710,000.

Albert Ng: {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}
Bjorn Peterson: {9-Spades}{4-Spades}

Peterson's top pair was behind the kings of Ng, and the {q-Diamonds} turn and {a-Hearts} river gave the double to Ng.

"Nice hand," Ng told Peterson afterward.

"I'm supposed to tell you that!" Peterson replied.

Ng Gets a Double Through Peterson

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Albert Ng jammed for 240,000 from the cutoff, and Bjorn Peterson called in the small blind.

Albert Ng: {k-Clubs}{q-Hearts}
Bjorn Peterson: {a-Hearts}{10-Spades}

Peterson's ace-high led on the {2-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} flop and {5-Diamonds} turn, leading Ng to begin rising out of his chair. When the {q-Clubs} hit the river, Ng converted the rising out to him holding his hands up in jubilation as he stood, prompting Peterson to say, "Easy game," as he paid off the double for Ng.
