Dahlstrom Pulls Ahead on the Flop, Tame Drills the River

David Salituro

Level 18 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Josh Dahlstrom moved all in for 170,000 in the hijack and Tyson Tame reshoved for 245,000 on the button, taking out his phone to film the action. Jonathan Bailey was in the big blind and took a minute before eventually folding.

Josh Dahlstrom: A♣Q♦ All in
Tyson Tame: A♦K♠

Dahlstrom took the lead on the Q♣10♥7♣ flop with top pair, while the turn was the 2♠. The J♦ fell on the river and Tame spiked the nut straight to win the pot and send Dahlstrom to the rail.

"I made the right choice," Bailey said, saying he folded two jacks.

Kim Rasmussen had just moved tables and on his first hand in his new seat went heads-up to a flop of 10♠6♦3♣ against Jake Croghan. Rasmussen then got in his last 427,000 from middle position, and Croghan put him at risk in the cutoff.

Kim Rasmussen: A♥A♦ All in
Jake Croghan: A♣10♥

Croghan had flopped top pair, but Rasmussen showed two aces and was a favorite to double up. The board ran out 5♠K♠ and Rasmussen greeted his new table with a massive double up.

Level 17 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Greg Passa in the hijack and Roger Isla in the small blind got all of their chips in the middle before the flop, both players having nearly identical stacks.

Greg Passa: K♠K♦ All in
Roger Isla: 8♦8♣

Isla had run into Passa's kings, and the 5♣5♥3♣6♣J♥ board kept Passa in the lead to secure him the pot.

He had 200,000 remaining, and Isla was left with less than a big blind after paying off the double up.
