Both players checked the turn {10-Hearts} and river {6-Spades} to take the hand to showdown.

Dang Gives Hansen a Tough Decision

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

In a heads up pot before the flop, Trong Dang was all in from middle position and action was on Gus Hansen in the small blind. There was already around 53,000 that had been raked in, likely at the request of Hansen, and Dang's remaining chips were out in front of him.

Hansen asked how much it was to call and the dealer began to cut his stack and count it. After the dealer got to the 80,000-mark, Hansen had seen enough of Dang's ballpark figure of around 95,000 remaining and told the dealer it was fine to stop.

"Sorry guys," Hansen remarked a bit later. Around two minutes had passed and Hansen had yet to make a decision. It took almost another two minutes before Hansen decided to let go of his hand.

On the following hand, Dang chipped up a bit more after raising preflop, getting two callers, and taking the pot down eventually on the turn with a second barrel.

Blair Hinkle
Blair Hinkle

Blair Hinkle called a raise to 4,500 and the big blind also came along to see the {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} flop, on which the big blind checked and the initial raiser continued for 9,000. Two calls later the {7-Hearts} appeared on the turn and the big blind check-folded to a bet of 15,000 and the shove of Hinkle for 34,600.

Hinkle's shove was called by {a-Spades}{j-Clubs} and he turned over {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts} for the straight, the {q-Spades} river was no threat.

Limping with Aces...What Could Go Wrong?

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

In a five-way limped pot, the dealer fanned the flop of {j-Spades}{9-Spades}{7-Diamonds} and you couldn't find a more action flop for the cards that were dealt. In a matter of minutes, four players got all of their chips in the middle.

Michael Forca: {a-Spades}{4-Spades}
Alexander Kostritsyn: {q-Spades}{10-Spades}
Button: {10-Clubs}{8-Clubs}
Under-the-gun: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}

All four players had a legitimate reason for getting their chips in the middle but it was the aces that were drawing nearly dead. The turn was the {6-Hearts} which changed nothing but the {3-Spades} on the river gave Forca the nut flush. Forca was all in for 72,100 and nearly earned a full quadruple up.
