Ace on the River for Gutierrez

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

After some preflop betting action, Samuel Rosen, Peter Shekeloff, and Antonio Gutierrez got it all in the middle, with Shekeloff covering.

Antonio Gutierrez: Q♠J♣All in
Samuel Rosen: Q♣Q♥All in
Peter Shekeloff: A♦A♣

Shekeloff was looking like a favorite to score a double knockout but the deck had other plans because although the runout of 5♥7♦10♥K♠A♥ gave him top set on the river, it also gave Gutierrez the nut straight to take the main pot.

Fortunately for Shekeloff, his set was still goof for the side pot he had with Rosen so he still came out ahead.

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

On a heads-up flop of 2♠7♣10♥, Travis Egbert led for 7,000 into the pot of 24,8000 and Jared Jaffee responded by moving all in for 33,700.

"Why didn't you just get it in pre?" Egbert asked aloud. "We're either chopping or you have like eights."

After a few more seconds of deliberatipn, Egbert decided to make the call an tossed out chips.

"You can beat eights?" Jaffee asked him as he flipped over 7♥8♥ for a pair of sevens.

"No, but i have outs," Egbert replied as he tabled A♣Q♦ for two over cards.

Fortunately for Jaffee, the runout of J♦8♠ only improved him to two pair and he was shipped the pot for a double-up.

Daniel Smiljkovic
Daniel Smiljkovic

After some back-and-forth action, Daniel Smiljkovic moved all in and was called by Toan Nguyen to put him at risk.

Daniel Smiljkovic: K♣K♠All in
Toan Nguyen: 10♣10♦

Smiljkovic was in great shape to double with his kings, but the flop was not his friend as it came 5♥10♠A♠ to give Nguyen a set for a big lead.

The turn and river 7♥9♦ failed to save Smiljkovic and he was sent to the rail shaking his head while Nguyen raked in the pot.

Edward Miller: Q♠Q♣All in
Yotam Shmuelov: J♥K♣
Roman Shainiuk: K♦Q♥

Miller was in prime position to score a triple-up with his queens, and the runout of 6♠6♦6♥2♦8♥ did just that and he scooped the main while Shmuelov took the sid to break even.
