Fox Doubles With Aces

Tyler Boyer

Level 13 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Action was picked up on the flop with 23,000 already in the pot, and the board showing 3♦9♣5♠. Maggie Fox was all in for her stack of 110,000, and the player in the big blind putting her at risk.

Maggie Fox: A♥A♦ All in
Big Blind: 9♠7♥

The big blind flopped top pair but would still need to improve to crack Fox's aces. But when the board ran out 2♦ on the turn, and J♥ on the river, Fox's aces were still best, securing her the double up.

Level 13 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Action folded to a player in early position who raised all in for 25,000. Chris Danadrea in middle position then three-bet to 50,000, which got the remaining players to fold, leaving the two players heads up, with the early position player at risk.

Early Position: K♣5♣ All in
Chris Danadrea: J♥J♦

Danadrea was well in front with his pocket jacks, but the A♣10♦5♦ provided an extra two outs for his opponent. The Q♣ on the turn gave him even more in the form of a flush draw. But the Q♠ river was safe for Dandrea, as his pocket jacks were still best, eliminating his opponent.

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Aaron McIntosh opened the action with a raise to 8,000 from early position, which was called by Donovan Dean in middle position. It then folded to the small blind Patrick Sellers who three-bet to 18,000. Once the big blind folded, both McIntosh and Dean made the call.

After the 9♥J♠3♦ flop, Sellers checked to McIntosh who bet out 18,000, which Dean called. Sellers then raised all in for his stack of 157,500. After sitting in the tank for over a minute, Mcintosh mucked, as did Dean to give the pot to Sellers.

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Aaron McIntosh opened the action with a raise to 9,000 from early position, and was called by Donovan Dean in the hijack, and the big blind Patrick Sellers.

After the 8♦J♠7♣ flopped, both Sellers and McIntosh checked to Dean, who bet out 10,000. Sellers folded and McIntosh made the call.

The turn brought the 7♥ and McIntosh retook the betting lead, and fired out 16,000, which Dean called.

After the 10♥ on the river, both players checked to showdown. McIntosh turned over A♠10♦ for two pair tens and sevens, but Dean had the winner when he tabled Q♥J♥ for a better two pair, jacks and sevens.

Donovan Dean	190,000
Patrick Sellers	175,500 145,500	145,500

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Action folded to the small blind LaShun Wallace who raised to 13,000, and the big blind Preston McEwen called to see a flop.

Both players checked after the 5♥10♥7♠ flop, to see the 10♣ on the turn. Wallace then moved all in for McEwen's stack of 35,000, and after a quick thought, McEwen found the call to put himself at risk.

Preston McEwen: 7♣6♣ All in
LaShun Wallace: K♥5♣

McEwen had the best of it with the better two pair, and once the river brought the J♦ his two pair, tens and sevens were still best, giving him the double up.

Player	Chips	Progress
LaShun Wallace	153,000 78,500	78,500
Preston McEwen	96,000 43,700	43,700
