Aces vs Queens Favors Lavrovsky

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Yan Lavrovsky raised to 12,000 in early position and Yicheng Xu cut out a three-bet to 38,000 just a couple of seats over. The action folded back to Lavrovsky who shipped all in for 147,000 and Xu made the call.

Yan Lavrovsky: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}
Yicheng Xu: {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}

The flop of {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} narrowly missed Xu, leaving Lavrovsky still in the lead. The {8-Clubs} on the turn gave Xu a straight draw but also Lavrovsky a flush draw. The river was the {k-Diamonds} which completed none of the draws and Lavrovsky held on to double up.

Phan Still Running Hot

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

In a three-bet pot, Derek Bowers and Tuan Phan were heads-up with around 75,000 in the middle. The flop fell {10-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} and both players checked to the {8-Spades} on the turn.

Bowers checked again and Phan reached for a bet of 56,500. Bowers called and the {a-Spades} landed on the river. Bowers checked for the third time and Phan knuckled the table as well. Bowers tabled {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs} but Phan showed {a-Clubs}{3-Clubs} for a rivered pair of aces to claim the pot.

"No ace on the river and you jam all in. I snap-call," Bowers stated.

"And then you win," Phan replied with a smile.

Both players checked for the {3-Spades} to complete the board. Leng fired a bet of 40,000 out and Liberta made the call after considering it for a while.

You Get Aces, You Get Aces

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Freek Scholten opened to 11,000 from under the gun and Anatoly Filatov defended from the big blind. The flop came {8-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{4-Clubs} and both players checked to the {10-Hearts} on the turn.

Filatov led out for 11,000 and Scholten raised to 29,000 which Filatov called. The river was the {a-Hearts} and Filatov shoved all in. Scholten called off his stack of 65,500 and Filatov tabled {q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for just queen-high. Scholten showed {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds} for a set of aces and got a double up.

In the next hand, Uri Reichenstein raised to 10,500 in the cutoff and Filatov three-bet to 30,000. Reichenstein four-bet shoved all in for just under 200,000 and Filatov snapped him off.

Reichenstein flipped over {k-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} but was up against the {a-Spades}{a-Clubs} of Filatov. The flop came king-high to give Reichenstein a pair of kings but he found no further help and was eliminated.
