Matt Alexander made it 3,500 under the gun and Joe Ford three-bet to 8,500 in middle position. Rick Syverud thought a bit and cold-called in the cutoff, and Alexander wanted to see the flop as well. It came {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} and action checked to Syverud. He bet 22,000. Alexander mucked but Ford called. The turn was the {3-Hearts} and Syverud said he was all in after Ford checked.

"I thought you might have ace-queen when you tanked," Ford remarked.

Ford thought for a good two or three minutes and then verbalized a call.

"You called it," Syverud said, flipping {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}.

A disappointed Ford showed {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}. He needed a king on the river but it was a {7-Clubs}. Ford had about 120,000, which Syverud covered.

Ford Runs Full

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

We found Joe Ford putting in 40,100 from the hijack on a completed board of {j-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}. His opponent had bet 11,100 in the big blind, and he announced he was all in.

"How much more is it?" Ford asked. "I don't think I can lay this down."

It looked to be about 12,000 more, and Ford dropped in a stack of chips.

"You have the boat?" the big blind asked, hesitating.

Ford confirmed he did and showed {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts}. The big blind showed {k-Diamonds}{10-Spades} for a beaten flush and hit the exits.
