Duong Shoves on Jaffee

Kirk Brown

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

On a heads-up flop of 7♣2♣J♣, Adam Duong checked to Jared Jaffee who bet 20,000. Duong checked his cards once more and decided to make the call to see the 9♠ appear on the turn.

Duong then check-called Jaffee once more, this time for 40,000, and the two continued to the river A♣.

Duong quickly announced he was all in for around 120,000 and the action was on Jaffee, who thought about it for a good bit before he scoffed and flicked his cards to the dealer.

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

The complete action was missed on the hand, but on a heads-up turn of AxAx4xJx Aruna Mallina and Ron Fetsch got it all in, with Mallina at risk.

Aruna Mallina: Jx9x
Ron Fetsch: AxKx

Unfortunately for Mallina, he was already drawing stone dead and the river 9x sent him to the rail on the stone money bubble while the rest of the field were now in the money.

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Terrance Reid opened to 16,000 and was then three-bet to 45,000 by Lee Markholt, which sent Reid into the tank.

He then used all of his remaining time banks before he announced he was all in for 249,000.

"Yeah, I knew as soon as you used two time banks you were going to jam," Markholt said as he tossed in his cards to award Reid the pot.

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

"Ok don't do any bullshit shoves," Matthew Wantman says to Matthew Kramer in the small blind when the action folds to him, but Kramer moves all in.

"Look, there he goes... Call!" Wantman declared after he peeked at his cards.

Matthew Wantman: 8♥8♠ All in
Matthew Kramer: K♣3♥

Wantman was in the lead with his two eights, and the runout of 3♠Q♠3♣8♦5♠ gave him a checkmark on the turn when he improved to a set to claim the pot.

"Wow, you only had two starting stacks," Tablemate Jared Jaffee teases.

"Yeah, and now i have over four!" Wantman replied as he raked in the chips.
