A Showdown for the Ages

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Curtis Oliver raised to 12,000 from the small blind and Jamie Gold called from the big blind. The flop was 1096.

Both players checked the flop and then again on the Q turn. It was check-check once more on the 4 river and they both turned over their cards.

"You got it," Gold said.

"I don't know about that," Oliver responded as he turned over 85. Gold had 86 to take the pot with a pair of sixes.

Daniyar Aubakirov

Soojo Kim raised from under the gun to 8,000 and received three callers in Daniyar Aubakirov, Adrian Mateos on the button and Aneris Adomkevicius in the big blind. The Q77 flop was checked to Aubakirov, who bet 6,000 and his three opponents all called.

On the 5 turn, Aubakirov bet 13,000 again and Adomkevicius was the only one to check-call, then check the J river. Aubakirov moved all-in for 36,000 and he got through with it.

Lexy Gavin-Mather: AQ
Namhyung Kim: AK

The kicker problem was never solved on a board of J96A10 and Kim's king sent Gavin-Mather to the rail.

Pitavy Scores a Big Double

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Emilien Pitavy
Emilien Pitavy

Jan Strazisar raised to 10,000 and earned one caller thereafter. Emilien Pitavy then three-bet to 47,000 before Strazisar announced a reraise, carefully sorting chips and pushing forward 245,000. One fold later, it was up to Pitavy who announced call and wanted to turn over his cards already.

His table neighbours instantly urged him to wait as he may have more chips behind, which was indeed the case. Once most chips of both players were in the middle, they headed to the KJ2 flop. Pitavy was all-in for another 25,000 and Strazisar called.

Emilien Pitavy: QQ
Jan Strazisar: 1010

The Q turn gave Pitavy a set while Strazisar now gained more outs than he had one street earlier. However, the 4 ruver was a blank and Pitavy scored an enormous double.

Haxton Doubles with Cowboys

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Jin Hoon Lee opened to 10,000 from the hijack and Isaac Haxton, who was recently left very short-stacked, moved all in for 17,000. Lee made the call to put Haxton at risk.

Isaac Haxton: KK
Jin Hoon Lee: Q10

The board ran out J42K7. Haxton's set of kings were good at showdown and he scored a much-needed double up through Lee.
