A Shove Fest

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Michael Sklenicka has just been eliminated and was kind enough to relay what had happened.

John Hennigan shoved all in from the cutoff for 27,000 with {10-}{7-} suited and Scotty Nguyen folded in the small blind with {a-}{j-} offsuit. Sklenicka called in the big blind with {k-}{9-} suited. The flop came king high but Hennigan rivered the flush.

The hand after that, Sklenicka shoved with {a-}{7-} offsuit and was called by the player in the big blind with {q-}{j-} and the queen came on the river to take Sklenicka out of the running for today.

A few hands later, the player in the late position raised to 6,000 and Aditya Agarwal shoved for 26,000 from the small blind. The player in the big blind called and the initial raiser folded.

Aditya Agarwal: {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}
Big Blind: {K-Spades}{Q-Spades}

The board ran out {10-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} to provide Agarwal with the double-up.
