simkha

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 0 ante

Gregory Jamison opened to 3,600 from middle position and Jason Stockfish called from the hijack. Zachary Hench was in the big blind and considering his decision when we got to the table. Stockfish called the floor over.

"This kid has been stalling every hand," Stockfish said to tournament staff, referring to the approaching bubble. The floor gave Hench 30 seconds to act on his hand and he ultimately shoved. Jamison folded and Stockfish called to put Hench at risk.

Jason Stockfish:
Zachary Hench:

Hench had the best of it with his aces and Stockfish needed help from the deck in order to stack him. The board ran out and Hench took the pot with sevens full of aces for the double-up.

"Any suits?"

Jordison's Instincts Prove Correct

Jan_Kores

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

In a battle of blinds, Timothy Vukson and Angela Jordison had already slid in 4,000 apiece by the time they came to the river.

Vukson led out 22,000 and Jordison started processing her situation. She leant back in her chair, turned to her opponent and then apologized for taking time for her decision.

"If you don't have a straight then I have the nuts," Jordison said.

Then she placed in the calling chips.

Vukson slowly turned up and Jordison saw that she didn't run into a straight. She rolled over her and scooped the pot to rise to 80,000 while Vukson was left with peanuts.
