All In, All In, All In

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Hand #1:

Rickey Evans found himself involved as the larger stack in consecutive hands with an all in opponent at risk.

On the first hand, Evans open raised under the gun, a player on the button three-bet all in, and Evans called.

Button: {q-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}
Rickey Evans: {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs}

Board: {2-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{6-Clubs}{10-Spades}

Hand #2:

Evans sent the opponent to the rail after the favorable runout, and on the very next hand, Kao Saechao went all in preflop from the button, and Evans called from the small blind.

Kao Saechao: {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}
Rickey Evans: {8-Clubs}{8-Spades}

Board: {j-Hearts}{5-Spades}{3-Hearts}{9-Spades}{6-Diamonds}

It was pocket eights again for Evans, but this time they didn't hold up, as Saechao doubled up and improved to around a 16,000 chip stack.

Hand #3:

The following hand saw Saechao get all in again, this time putting a three-bet for his stack in against a hijack open raise to 2,500. The hijack called. and Saechao was off to the races again.

Kao Saechao: {q-Clubs}{j-Hearts}
Hijack: {a-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}

Board: {5-Spades}{j-Clubs}{q-Spades}{a-Clubs}{2-Clubs}

It was another win for Saechao, who now finds himself with a much more manageable 36 big blinds as Level 10 continues.
