Stone Applies the Pressure

Matt Keikoan raised under the gun, the amount we're not sure, and Nikolas Stone called from the big blind. The latter proceeded to check-call a bet of 65,000 on the {4-Clubs}{5-Spades}{3-Spades} flop, and the check-called a bet of 160,000 on the {4-Diamonds} turn.

When the {3-Hearts} peeled off on the river, Stone moved all in and turned the screws on Keikoan, who thought for about 30 seconds before releasing his hand.

Stone Doubles Through Nguyen

Nikolas Stone was first to act and opened to 60,000. Action folded to Huy Nguyen in the big blind and he raised to 140,000. Stone played back at Nguyen and moved all in. Nguyen called and the hands were tabled.

Nguyen: {A-Spades} {Q-Clubs}
Stone: {10-Diamonds} {10-Spades}

The board ran {A-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} {10-Hearts} {Q-Spades} {J-Clubs} and Stone doubled through Nguyen.
