Lakhov Stacks Wigg

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Action folded around to the blinds, Alexander Lakhov raised from the small, Anton Wigg three-bet from the big, and the rest of the chips went into the middle in a flurry of activity.

Alexander Lakhov: {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}
Anton Wigg: {J-Clubs}{J-Hearts}

The two players were racing for the pot and Lakhov needed to improve to win. The board ran out {K-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} to pair Lakhov's king and he took the pot to send Wigg to the rail.

Engel Out

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

The player in the hijack opened to 2,600, Ari Engel three-bet to 7,300 from the button, the hijack shoved, and after some consideration, Engel called to put himself at risk for about 25,000.

Ari Engel: {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}
Opponent: {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs}

Engel found himself trailing his opponent's queens and needed help from the deck to survive. The board ran out {10-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}, Engel wished the table luck, and he made his way out of the Brasilia room.

Keeline Catches Up

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Ben Keeline had gotten his approximately 4,000-chip stack in from the hijack against the player in the cutoff and the cards were already on their backs when we got to the table. Keeline's opponent had him covered by a fair margin.

Ben Keeline: {K-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}
Cutoff: {A-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}

The cutoff had the preflop advantage and Keeline needed to improve with his two live cards to survive. The board ran out {J-Clubs}{7-Spades}{3-Spades}{5-Spades}{5-Diamonds} to pair Keeline's jack and he took the pot to double up.

Brandon Shack-Harris was in the big blind and had committed about 17,000 chips when we got to the table. He was heads-up against the player in the hijack, who already had about 6,000 in. He shoved and Shack-Harris called to put himself at risk for approximately 30,000.

Brandon Shack-Harris: {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}
Opponent: {K-Spades}{K-Clubs}

Shack-Harris found himself trailing his opponent's kings and needed help from the deck to survive. The board ran out {10-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{3-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} and Shack-Harris wished the table luck as he made his exit.
