Swift Stuffs the Turn

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

On a head-up board that read 4J109, Vidal Flores led for 6,000 but then Anthony Swift moved all in for 14,400 total.

This move sent Flores into the tank to think about his options.

After some more thought, he decided to let it go. Swift then showed him J10 for two-pair, which Flores admitted was good as he claimed to have king-jack with no club, of course.

Liu and Vo Engage in Naval Battle

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

PokerNews picked up the action on a heads-up completed board of 5310Q5 with 28,500 in the pot wen Jason Liu led out for 24,000 from the small blind.

The action was then on Hung Vo who was in the tank, painfully deliberating his decision.

"Ugh, man, I put you on pocket tens, that's the only hand that really beats me," he said as he shook his head, "I've really got a monster here,".

After another few seconds, he decided he couldn't get away and tossed out the necessary chips.

"Come on, no tens, no tens!" he prayed.

"I have queens," Liu replied and tabled QQ for the top boat of queens full.

"Wow, that's so sick! How do you have queens?!" Vo was beside himself as he showed Q5 for a smaller full house, receiving some shocked responses from the table while Liu raked in the huge pot.
