"Again?!"

Level 4 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

On a board reading {j-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{k-Hearts}, with 250,000 in the pot already, Michael Pinoudis led out for 130,000 from the small blind. Linda Huard was on the button and paused for a moment before calling.

The river was the {2-Hearts} and Pinoudis checked. Huard wasted no time and checked right back.

Pinoudis tabled {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} for two pair kings and deuces with an ace kicker. Huard saw what she was up against and exlaimed, "Again?!" and shook her head in disappointment as she mucked her hand.

"I tried to bet and tell you I had a hand!" responded Pinoudis as he raked in the pot.

Delaney Busts Set-Over-Set

Level 5 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Vincent Jacques raised to 23,000 from early position and got calls from Roger Gebhardt in the hijack, Trevor Delaney in the cutoff and Gaurav Arora in the small blind.

The flop came {j-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} and action checked around to Delaney and he bet 34,000. Arora called and Jacques went in for a check-raise to 131,000. Gebhardt folded, Delaney called and Arora tank-folded.

The turn was the {10-Hearts} and Jacques bet 252,000. Delaney instantly moved all-in for 430,000 and Jacques snap-called.

Delaney tabled {4-Spades}{4-Hearts} for a set of fours but was disappointed to see that Jacques held {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs} for a set of jacks. "Four of diamonds one time!" exclaimed Delaney. Unfortunately for him the river was the {10-Diamonds} and he was sent to the rail.

Siddiqui Lays it Down

Level 5 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

With 90,000 in the pot, on a board reading {k-Spades}{q-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}, $10K High Roller champion Shaan Siddiqui checked from middle position. Chanracy Khun bet 29,000 from the cutoff and Angelo Gonzales called on the button. Siddiqui reached into his stack and put in a check-raise to 130,000. Khun and Gonzales both called.

The turn was the {6-Clubs} and Siddiqui bet 225,000 with 320,000 chips behind. Gonzales leaned forward, looked Siddiqui dead in the face and said, "I'm all-in." Siddiqui looked confused and went into the tank. He then said, "You know what I have."

Eventually Siddiqui called the clock on himself. After about 15 seconds he folded, sending the pot to Gonzales. "Did you fold aces?" asked Gonzales. No answer.
