Noeung Troeung Gets Ace Queen Twice, Ryan Sgrignuoli Left Short

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Noeung Troeung
Noeung Troeung

Noeung Troeung got all in with ace queen two times within a few hands and won one and lost the other.

The first time he got all in he got all in with Andrej Markovinovic after a three-bet preflop and was behind with {a-Hearts}{q-Spades} against the {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} of Markovinovic.

The board ran out {7-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}, giving Markovinovic a flush and giving him the double up.

The second time Troeung got ace queen, he opened to 10,000 and Ryan Sgrignuoli shoved all in for 97,000. Troeung called and showed {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}. This time he was up against {10-Hearts}{10-}.

The board ran out {9-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{2-Spades}{q-Hearts}{3-Clubs}, giving Troeung the double up and leaving Sgrignuoli very short with just 11,000.

Puchalski Shoves Kings Into a Straight

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Michael Malm
Michael Malm

Three players saw the {q-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{8-Clubs} flop and Michael Malm was the first to bet. He bet 12,000 and only Alexander Puchalski called.

The turn was the {5-Clubs} and Malm was playing with some chips and re-stacking them. He set them back down and sat still for almost a minute.

He checked.

Puchalski was now on the clock and he shoved all in for more than Malm had behind. Malm quickly leaned forward, grabbing a stack of chips and setting it firmly in the middle of the table.

He called.

Malm showed {j-Spades}{10-Diamonds} for a straight and Puchalski showed {k-}{k-}.

The river was no help to Puchalski and Malm doubled up.

FML

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

David Richard Cairns just folded the best hand face up and was at least a little disappointed in himself.

Andrej Markovinovic opened under the gun and Cairns called behind. Then Noeung Troeung shoved all in for 22,600. Markovinovic reraised to 40,000 and Cairns was next to act. He decided to fold {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} face up and as soon as Troeung and Markovinovic turned over their hands, he seemed deflated.

"F$@k my life," he said standing up and awaiting the board.

Troeung turned over {a-Clubs}{8-Clubs} and Markovinovic showed {a-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}. The board ran out {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}{7-Spades}{k-Spades}{7-Clubs} and Markovinovic chopped the pot with Troeung, despite holding the weaker hand.

"F#@k!" said Troeung who just missed an opportunity to double up.
