Howard Kills Two Birds With One Stone

Jeff McMillan

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

There was a lot of preflop action as Taylor Howard had the largest stack and was awaiting the decision of his opponent on his direct right who was mulling it over with two players already all in ahead of him. Eventually, he would fold to set up a three-way all in.

Opponent 1: K♣Q♣
Opponent 2: Q♥J♣
Taylor Howard: 10x10x

The flop came A♥2♦8♦. The turn was the 10♥ to give Howard a set and the river came the 6♠ to bust both at risk players.

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

Action came in on the river with the board showing 10♣9♦3♦5♠8♦. Julian Ruvalcada moved all in into a pot of about 43,000 from the hijack.

Xingyao Wang was in early position and had to think about it for a long time as it was a decision for his entire stack. After over a minute, he made the call.

Ruvalcaba shook his head and tabled the K♣8♣ which Wang had bested with the J♥10♥ and he doubled up while Ruvalcaba was greatly wounded.
