Level 15 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Dave Ledeman
Dave Ledeman

Action picked up on the river with a sizable pot brewing in a hand between Richard Perkerewicz who was under the gun and Dave Ledeman who was on the button.

With about 250,000 in the middle and the board reading 2A9A8, Perkerewicz checked and Ledeman fired out a bet of 100,000, prompting Perkerewicz to go into the tank.

"Miss your club draw or what?" asked Ledeman.

"Nope, didn't have a club draw," replied Perkerewicz as he eventually decided to give up his hand.

Simmons Finds the Double

Level 15 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

The player in the cutoff raised to 18,000 and Shaun Simmons three-bet jammed for 93,000 in the big blind to put himself at risk. The cutoff made the call.

Shaun Simmons: 99 All in
Cutoff: A9

Simmons was in the lead with his pair of nines until the dealer put out the A78 flop, with the cutoff pairing his ace.

Simmons still had outs with a nine or a diamond, and he was pleased to see the 3 fall on the turn. The meaningless Q landed on the river to complete the board.
