Hakim Holds in Huge Pot

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

A raise to 8,500 came from the under-the-gun player. Jeff Hakim called from middle position and the big blind came along as well.

The {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} flop saw the action check to Hakim who bet 10,500. The big blind called and the preflop raiser put in a raise to 46,000. Hakim called and the big blind folded.

On the {k-Hearts} turn card the player first to act jammed all in for 190,500. Hakim gave it some thought but couldn't let go of two pair as he made the call.

Hakim: {a-Hearts}{j-Spades}
Opponent: {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

The {a-Spades} on the river gave Hakim a full house and the dealer pushed him the massive pot.

Gold Versus Held Heads Up

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Jamie Gold

Austrian Justus Held and 2006 Main Event Champion Jamie Gold have gone to battle in a couple of recent pots, with each holding on to sizable chip stacks.

In the first of two recent hands involving the two, Held raised preflop, making it 64,000 to go, and Gold called. The flop came {7-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}, Held bet 42,000, and Gold folded, showing {a-}{q-}.

"I got you beat," Held said. "I have the ace of diamonds."

"You didn't have me beat preflop," Gold replied, and Held agreed.

A couple of hands later Gold, Held and another opponent went three ways to a {a-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{3-Hearts} flop, Gold bet 10,000 and got two calls. The turn came the {7-Diamonds}, and all three players checked.

Gold bet out for 40,000 on the {2-Clubs}, and got both opponent to fold. He showed {q-Spades}{j-Diamonds} for the bluff on the way to raking in the pot.

Gera Two Outs Taylor

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

After an early position limp, Thomas Taylor was next to act and limped along. Action got around to Nikhil Gera in the small blind who went all in for 43,000. The first limper folded and Taylor made the call.

Gera: {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}
Taylor: {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}

The flop was no help to Gera {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}. But one of the two remaining sevens came on the turn {7-Clubs}.

Taylor needed to see a jack or an eight on the river but the {6-Diamonds} completed the board giving Gera the double up.
