Awada Chips Up

Joe Awada raises under-the-gun to 1,200 and an unknown small blind reraises to 3,000, which he calls.

Awada then calls the small blind's 2,000 bet on the {K-Clubs} {3-Clubs} {2-Spades} flop.

The turn brings the {K-Hearts} and, after she bet out 5,000, Awada puts her all in for 17,000 total.


She calls with {9-Diamonds} {9-Clubs} and Awada shows {10-Diamonds} {10-Clubs}. An uneventful river means Awada is up over 40,000.

Aces over Kings

We had a preflop all in encounter between Jonathan Aguir and Sean Johnson.

It's a cooler as Johnson flipped over {A-Hearts} {A-Diamonds} and Aguir flipped over {K-Diamonds} {K-Spades}.

The flop was a pretty sick {K-Hearts} {A-Clubs} {6-Diamonds} before the turn and river blanked to send Aguir crashing out.

Has Saul Met His Match?

Eli Berg has again bested Kevin Saul. With 23,000 in the pot on a board of {10-Spades} {A-Clubs} {8-Spades} {7-Diamonds} , Eli shoved all in for 20,000. Saul thought and asked, "If I fold, will you show me?" But Berg sat stone faced. Saul eventually folded and Berg increased his stack to 43,000.

Sick Three-Way Hand

Three unknowns just got involved in a pretty sick three-way preflop all-in hand. Two players had pocket aces and one had pocket fives.

The flop came {3-?} {4-?} {5-?} to send the player with pocket fives ahead. The turn blanked before the river came {2-?} to give the two players with aces a wheel and they split the pot, eliminating the other player.
