Thibodeau's Set Gets Double Up

Level 16 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Three players saw a board of {10-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}. Pin Jiang bet 52,000 into his two opponents and he was raised all in by Jacob Thibodeau. The third player in the hand thought about their decision for quite a while before eventually electing to bow out, leaving Jiang with a big decision of his own to make.

After a few moments, Jiang called. But he got the bad news as Thibodeau flipped over the {9-Spades}{9-Clubs} for a set while Jiang could only muster the {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs} for top pair. The third player in the hand claimed that he folded king-queen.

The river came the {4-Hearts} and Thibodeau scored a big double up.

Louer's Aces Cracked

Level 16 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

It only took a couple of preflop raises until Todd Louer found himself all in for around 100,000 chips. His opponent was Johann Ibanez and both players turned over premium hands.

Todd Louer: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}
Johann Ibanez: {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}

The flop of {j-Clubs}{6-Spades}{4-Clubs} was exactly what Louer was looking for to keep his aces out front. However, the turn brought the {k-Diamonds} to give Ibanez a set of kings and stranglehold on the hand. The river was the {q-Diamonds} and Louer was eliminated early on Day 4.

Kathy Liebert
Kathy Liebert

Kathy Liebert opened to 18,000 from middle position and received a call from the player in the big blind. The flop came {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{4-Spades} and the big blind checked. Liebert made a continuation-bet of 10,000 and was called.

The turn fell {5-Clubs} and the big blind checked again. Liebert continued, firing 35,000 into the middle. Her opponent quickly called. Both players checked the river {2-Diamonds}.

The big blind tabled {k-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for second pair with a missed nut flush draw. Liebert then showed {a-Hearts}{10-Clubs} for a pair of aces and took down the pot, growing her stack to just shy of 900,000.

Cliff Josephy: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}
Gisela Staton: {a-Clubs}{9-Spades}

Jamie McCarrel: {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}
Jason Fan: {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}

The board ran out {2-Spades}{a-Hearts}{10-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{3-Spades} for Fan to hold with the higher pocket pair to eliminate McCarrel from the Main Event.
