White Wins Some Back

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Nicholas Wright raised to 2,200 from the button and was called by Andrew White in the small blind.

They both checked through the {j-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} flop to the {6-Spades} on the turn. White bet 2,500 and that was enough for Wright to give up on the hand.

Senic Down But Not Out

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

Minh Tran jammed the button for 8,100 and Andrej Senic reshoved from one seat over.

Tran tabled the {q-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} and Senic had the {a-Clubs}{6-Spades}. The board came {k-Hearts}{q-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{4-Spades} and Senic was left with 5,100.

One hand later, Senic was all in with the {a-Clubs}{a-Spades} and received a call by an opponent with {q-Hearts}{j-Spades}.

As the flop came {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{8-Clubs}, the dealer gasped an "oh shit". Nothing changed with the {3-Diamonds} turn and another player demanded "give him an ace." Sure enough the {a-Diamonds} fell on the river and Senic doubled to remain in contention.

Minh Nguyen opened from under the gun and Andrew White called from the button.

The flop came {9-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{7-Hearts}, Nguyen continued with a bet of 2,000 and White responded with a raise to 6,000. Nguyen shoved for 16,000 and White called with the bigger stack.

Minh Nguyen: {a-Clubs}{9-Spades}
Andrew White: {9-Hearts}{2-Hearts}

Nguyen had flopped top pair while holding the top-kicker. White had the same pair but the lower kicker, he was also sitting on a flush draw.

The turn brought them the {j-Spades} which didn't change things, the {2-Spades} on the river however gave White two pair to eliminate Nguyen from the tournament.
