Ngamsaart Dodges Everything

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Ake Ngamsaart was in the big blind and had all of his chips in the middle against the small blind and both players had their cards turned up.

Ake Ngamsaart, {a-Clubs}{3-Clubs}
Small blind: {9-Hearts}{7-Spades}

The flop came {10-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{4-Hearts} giving Ngamsaart's opponent a lot of outs with straight and flush draw along with his two live cards. The turn didn't change anything when the {q-Spades} hit and the river was the {10-Spades}. Ngamsaart dodged everything and doubled up.

Unto Cracks Aces to Eliminate Opponent

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

In a 4-way pot, the flop was {8-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} and there was already over 100,000 in the middle. Chris Unto was in the small blind and he checked first, two players checked after him and a player in middle position bet out 45,000. Unto called, the big blind called and the fourth player in the hand folded.

The turn was the {j-Clubs}, the action checked to the player who bet on the flop and he announced all-in. Unto wasted no time calling and the big blind mucked behind him.

Chris Unto: {j-Diamonds}{8-Spades}
Opponent: {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}

Unto had turned top two against pocket aces and the river changed nothing when the dealer flipped the {6-Spades}.
