Chamberlain Gets a Call from Pereira

Kirk Brown
Kirk Brown
Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

On a heads-up flop of 6♥K♠J♠, Ryan Chamberlain had bet 12,000 after a check from Antony Pereira, whom the action was now back on.

"Ok, one time," he said as he tossed out call chips and the two went to the turn 3♦.

Periera checked once more, which prompted a quick all-in announcement from Chamberlain for a total of 18,200.

Periera then went deep into the tank for this decision.

"Well, now I know I'm ahead, you must be on some type of draw, but I'm happy with either one," Chamberlain told him.

Tablemate Noel Rodriguez eventually called the clock and Periera was given a thirty-second shot clock.

As his timer reached zero, he set out a stack for the call and the cards were tabled.

Ryan Chamberlain: K♣Q♥All in
Antony Pereira: 7♠8♠

Chamberlain was correct, he was well in the lead and up against a draw, and fortunately for him, the river was the brick 9♦ and he was awarded the substantial pot for a double-up.

Aaron Overton had made it 5,500 to go preflop when Derek Daymond moved all in for 9,500 total, which Overton called.

Derek Daymond: A♣Q♦All in
Aaron Overton: K♣9♥

Daymond was in good shape with is superior holding, but the flop of 7♣4♦9♣ gave Overton the lead with his pair of nines.

Fortunately for Daymond, the turn came the A♦ to turn the tide back in his favor and the river 5♦ awarded him the pot for the double.

"Just a little sweat, eh?" another player commented as Daymond dragged the pot.
