Tobin Runs Down Maljkovic

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Timothy Tobin
Timothy Tobin

Timothy Tobin was all in from the small blind for 18,800, at risk against Nik Maljkovic in the hijack.

Timothy Tobin: A♣8♦ All in
Nik Maljkovic: 3♠3♥

Maljkovic found a set on the 7♣3♦8♠ flop, while Tobin held a pair of eights. The A♠ turn gave Tobin some hope with a second pair, and the 8♣ river saw him improve to the better full house.

"It's never over," claimed Maljkovic as he counted out the chips to pay off Tobin's unlikely double.

Wilcock Tables Two Pair

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

All four players checked to the 7♥ turn, where Wilcock checked once more. Cannon bet 2,000, and Lam quickly folded. Lim and Wilcock called, and another round of checks followed the 7♣ river.

Wilcock showed down J♥8♥ for two pair, earning the pot as Cannon and Lim mucked.

Michael Tchong checked the 10♣3♥J♠ flop from middle position, and Phat Nguyen did the same as next to act. Anne Jennings slid out a bet of 3,000 in the cutoff, with only Nguyen calling to see the 6♣ turn.

Another check from Nguyen was followed by a bet of 5,000 from Jennings. That was enough to claim the pot, as Nguyen slid his cards into the muck.
