Full House over Full House

Level 5 : 300/600, 50 ante

Chad Awerbuch lost more than half of his stack before the break and was kind enough to relay what had happened:

On his previous table, the player in the early position raised to 900. Awerbuch three-bet to 2,400 on the button with {k-}{k-} and the small blind called. The initial raiser folded.

The flop came {a-}{k-}{9-} for Awerbuch to hit a set. The small blind check-called the 2,200 continuation-bet of Awerbuch.

The turn was a {6-}, the small blind check-shoved for 28,200 when Awerbuch continued with a bet of 6,900 and Awerbuch called to see he was up against the {a-}{k-} of his opponent who had flopped top two pair.

The river was the {a-} for them both to improve to a full house but for his opponent to have the better one to double up through Awerbuch.

Hameiri Doubles With Aces

Level 5 : 300/600, 50 ante

Daniel Hameiri ended up all in after a {9-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} flop for fewer than half the starting stack and his sole remaining opponent called.

Hameiri tabled the {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts} and his opponent sighed a "well done, I am drawing dead" before exposing {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}. The {8-Hearts} turn and {q-Spades} river brought no upset and Hameiri doubled on a table that also includes Craig Blight and Luis Arrilucea.

Tran Takes Chunk From Laoyont's Stack

Level 4 : 200/400, 50 ante

The board read {6-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{9-Spades} with 54,700 in the middle already on the feature table. Michael Tran checked his big blind and so did Patrick Laoyont from under the gun.

The river completed the board with the {a-Spades}, Tran tanked for a while and then decided to bet 17,500 which sent Laoyont diving deep into the tank. After a while, the clock was called on him by Jim Pizanias. The floor gave Laoyont 40 seconds to make a decision and at the end of it, he declared the hand dead as Laoyont didn't manage to make up his mind.

K.A Claims a Victim

Level 4 : 200/400, 50 ante

Kumar K.A was seen raking in another pot while his opponent walked away from the table. K.A held {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} while his opponent had {a-}{7-} and got no help of the board to stay alive.

Guerin Busts in Three-Way All In

Level 4 : 200/400, 50 ante
Didier Guerin
Didier Guerin

Didier Guerin entered not long ago but his stack immediately took two big hits. He then jammed for 850 and behind him was a three-bet to 2,100.

Mai Nguyen flat-called on the button and Leanne Haas reraised to 7,200 in the small blind. The three-bettor folded and Nguyen jammed for 23,600 to pick up a quick call from Haas.

Didier Guerin: {k-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}
Mai Nguyen: {3-Clubs}{3-Hearts}
Leanne Haas: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}

Nguyen spiked a set on the {8-Spades}{3-Spades}{2-Spades} flop and the {10-Hearts} turn and {7-Hearts} river kept her in the lead, sending Guerin to the rail and cutting the stack of Haas by more than half.
