Straight Flush... "Only In America"

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

The player under the gun opened with a raise to 3,000 and the player sitting directly to his left re-raised to 12,000. Action folded around to Adam Asadoorian who moved all in from late position, the action folded back around and he was called by both players.

Everyone Likes the Flop

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

The action was picked up on a flop of {10-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}, which was apparently an action flop for the three players in the hand. After Ken Rogers bet 6,000, Xao Yang raised to 23,000, which was then met by a three-bet shove from Jin Tian for 37,400 before Rogers called for less.

Yang, who had both players easily covered, then started talking and replaying the hand out loud. He eventually made the call and the players tabled their hands. Yang had flopped top pair with the top quicker, Tian was on a flush draw, and Rogers had flopped top two pair, which held on the {9-Hearts} turn and {k-Hearts} river. Rogers tripled up, Tian was eliminated and Yang was awarded the small side pot.

Ken Rogers: {q-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Xao Yang: {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}
Jin Tian: {8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}
