Behling Finds His Way Past Aces

Adam Lamers

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

In a three-bet pot that had around 12,000 in the middle, the flop of 10♦9♠3♥ hit the felt. The small blind just open-jammed all in for 26,300 and Harold Behling asked for a count before calling from the cutoff.

Small Blind: A♠A♣ All in
Harold Behling: Q♣10♥

Behling was behind despite flopping top pair but the J♠ on the turn gave him a wealth of outs. The Q♦ on the river was one of those outs, improving him to two pair and eliminating his opponent.

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Michael Snyder was down to just 20,700 chips and shoved all in from early position. The action folded around to Kevin McMahon in the big blind who threw in some chips to call.

Michael Snyder: A♥K♠ All in
Kevin McMahon: A♣J♣

Things were looking grim for McMahon, especially with the K♥ in the window. However, it was followed by the 8♣4♣ which gave McMahon a flush draw. The 9♠ changed nothing on the turn but the 9♣ on the river sent Snyder to the registration desk.

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Thai Dinh and Ryan French-Charles were heads-up in a pot with the board reading K♥4♥2♠A♦. Dinh threw in a bet of 4,000 from the cutoff and French-Charles called on the button.

The river was the 9♦ and Ding checked this time. French-Charles sized up a bet of 16,000 and Dinh went into the tank before making the call. French-Charles tabled Q♦2♦ for just a pair of deuces but Dinh was unable to beat it as he flashed 5♣2♣.

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Thai Dinh risked his remaining stack of around 17,000 preflop and picked up calls from Jonas Zook in the cutoff and Shaun Simmons on the button.

The flop came 6♥6♦3♦ and the action in the side pot was checked down through the 7♣ on the turn and the 8♥ on the river. All three hands were tabled with Dinh turning over 4♣4♦ first. Zook was unable to beat that with A♥Q♠ but Simmons rivered the best hand with J♦8♣ to send Dinh to the registration desk once again.

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

With around 30,000 in the middle and the board reading 9♣8♠6♥4♦, Rob Wazwaz fired out a bet of 17,000 in middle position. The small blind folded but Judith Wiehr wasn't ready to concede the pot in the big blind as she made the call.

The 8♥ paired the board on the river and Wiehr threw in a bet of 25,000. Wazwaz looked her up and Wiehr turned over Q♣J♥ for a missed straight draw. Wazwaz held 10♦9♦ for two pair and was awarded a healthy pot to move him into the chip lead.
