Triple Up Raga

Frank Vizza raised to 17,000 from under the gun, and Ravi Shankar called from middle position with his remaining 12,000. Then Dario Alioto bumped it up to 75,000 from the cutoff. Vizza got out of the way.

Shankar showed {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{10-Spades}{3-Clubs} and Alioto {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{5-Hearts}.

The flop was {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{8-Spades}, and Shankar was in trouble. However, the {J-Diamonds} on the turn gave him Broadway, and the river {7-Clubs} meant he'd tripled up.

Shankar is up to 45,000 and Alioto is at 102,000.

A Friendly Turn for Hildebranski

Patryk Hildebranski just more than doubled up against Rene Mouritsen. After several had limped, Hildebranski raised all in with his last 31,000, and Mouritsen reraised, causing the others to fold.

Mouritsen had A-A-x-x, and Hildebranski J-J-x-x. Lucky for Hildebranski, a jack came on the turn, and he's up to 105,000. Mouritsen is now at 95,000.
