Ace High Strong for Derden

Level 2 : 4,000/8,000, 0 ante

Ian Johns started up the action by making it two bets to go. Matt Schreiber then put in a third. Preston Derden made the call and so too did Johns as the dealer readied three cards.

Flop: {5-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{2-Clubs}

On the flop, Johns tapped the table with a check and Schreiber bet. Derden went with a call and Johns got out of the way. The {8-Spades} on the turn would see Schreiber fire out another bet and Derden made another call.

When a {10-Diamonds} landed on the river, both players opted to check. Derden quickly tabled his {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}, with ace-high strong enough to take down the pot.`

On the flop, Ramdin checked and Parker flicked out a bet. Rice then made it two beto to go, which was too much for Ramdin. Parker made the call and a {5-Hearts} landed on the turn. Parker opted to check here and then sent his cards into the muck when Rice bet.
