Aces Vs Aces

[user76023]

Mike Sexton and an opponent got it all-in preflop with {A-Spades}

and

respectively.

Fitoussi Doubles Through Veldhuis

[user76023]

All-in on a flop of {9-Clubs}

, Bruno Fitoussi flipped {K-Spades}

against Lex Veldhuis' {A-?}

and the turn and river were {2-Diamonds}

and

.

The Frenchman doubled his stack rather than having to resort to using one of his second chance chips.

Jason Mercier is already down to his last 3,000 or so. That wouldn't seem so bad except he's already used both his second chance chips. He just turned around to us at the press table and jokingly asked if we'd seen any 1,000 orange chips or spare second chance chips lying around that he could pilfer.

King George

[user76023]

Four-way to the turn of a {6-Hearts}

board saw George Danzer bet 3,500 from the cut-off. The button called, David Chiu and the hijack folded.

The river was the {J-Hearts}

and both players checked. Danzer flipped {A-Diamonds}

for a flush which was good when his opponent flashed {Q-?}

before mucking.
