Dang Over a Quarter-Million Thanks to the Prettiest Card in the Deck

Hill Kerby

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Kenny Dang opened in the hijack and saw the big blind defend, bringing a flop of where the big blind check-shoved for around 60,000 over a continuation-bet from Dang. Dang called the jam and hands were tabled.

All-In Player:
Dang;

Dang's flopped top pair was up against the big blind's bottom two pair, leaving him in need of improving to win the pot. The turn did nothing but add three additional and inevitable counterfeit outs, but the river fell behind to give him trips and bring him over 250K in the process.

Level 12 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Noah Lewis open-jammed for 18,600 under the gun and BJ McBrayer re-jammed for 66,000. All remaining players folded, some of them taking longer than others to do so.

Lewis:
McBrayer:

The runout gave Lewis one extra out to counterfeited quads on the turn, but ultimately left his hand second best and brought about his elimination from the tournament in the final level of the evening.

Level 12 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Under the gun open-limped and Phong Cao jammed for 26,700 one seat over. Action folded back to the limper and he called.

Cao:
Opponent:

Both players connected with the flop , giving Cao a set of sevens that pulled far ahead of his opponent's top pair, top kicker. The turn meant the last two tens in the deck were live to knock him out, but neither came on the river and the double was shipped his way.
