Chen Doubles Through Fritzer

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

Nan Chen went all-in for 60,000 from early position before Rip Fritzer made the call from the cutoff to put Chen at risk.

Nan Chen: AKAll in
Rip Fritzer: AQ

Chen was in a dominant situation as he had the better ace with five cards to go.

The 335 flop presented some chop possibilities between Chen and Fritzer.

The A turn favored Chen with his better kicker, and the J was the wrong paint card for Fritzer as Chen doubled and Fritzer tumbled down the chip counts.

Pilotin paused to give it some thought before he three-bet to 100,000.

Coggins did not think long before he mucked his hand to award the pot to Pilotin on the flop.

Morgan Scores Sensational Knockout

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Dennis Morgan
Dennis Morgan

Ediberto Pilotin got the action going with an open to 12,000 from under the gun. A player in the cutoff made the call before Dennis Morgan joined with a call from the big blind.

The flop came 22A before Morgan and Pilotin checked. The cutoff took the initiative with a bet of 35,000. Morgan called, but Pilotin got out of the fray with a fold.

Morgan checked again on the Q turn before the cutoff kept up the betting with a wager of 60,000.

"I guess I'm going all-in," said Morgan as he pushed his chips in the middle to commit himself for his entire stack.

The cutoff called as the two were in a rare instance where both were at risk since they had the exact same amount of chips, 99,000.

Cutoff: AKAll in
Dennis Morgan: 22All in

The cutoff found out the bad news as Morgan flopped four of a kind and had him drawing dead with one card to go.

The river was the salt in the wound when it came the A river to upgrade him to a full house that was still no good in the face of Morgan's quads.

The 9 turn put three diamonds out there. Mohler chose to shove for approximately 37,000.

The cutoff lamented the diamond on the turn before he folded to yield the pot to Mohler.
