Corbett Calls Correctly

Level 27 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Daniel Corbett faced a tough decision moments ago, and it wasn't for the first time today. Earlier on in the proceedings, he had correctly folded a full house after he showed his hand and his opponent showed a higher full house, and in the following hand he made the correct call once more, this time for nearly all his chips.

The board read {4-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{2-Hearts}{q-Clubs}, and his opponent had made a large 130,000 river bet.

"That's quite a big bet," Corbett said inquisitively before he thought through his decision.

After not much time at all, Corbett called, for the majority of his stack and he turned over {j-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} for a pair of tens after his opponent had hesitated. It was just ace-high for Corbett's opponent who showed {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}, and Corbett took the pot to move up to 520,000.

Roux Hits One-Outer Quads Against Aces

Level 19 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Jonathan Roux was all in preflop and up against pocket aces, and when the flop came down it seemed like he was destined for the payout desk.

Roux's pocket queens hit a set on the {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{3-Spades} flop, but the aces also hit a set, leaving Roux with just the one out. But by some miracle that one card came to his rescue after the {q-Hearts} was revealed on the turn. There was no ace on the river, which meant Roux doubled to 390,000.

Roux added that it wasn't the first time he came from behind today with pocket queens after he had earlier defeated pocket kings.

The player under the gun opened to 12,000. The cutoff called, along with Nicholas Lagos in the small blind, as well as the big blind.

The flop came {2-Hearts}{10-Spades}{j-Spades}. Lagos moved all in for 81,000. The big blind was the only caller.

Nicholas Lagos: {a-Spades}{9-Spades}
Opponent: {q-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

The turn brought the {8-Hearts} and the {q-Clubs} river filled up the board giving Lagos a straight to double up.
