Miles Gets Called by Ace High

Level 5 : 300/500, 500 ante

Tony Miles raised to 600 from the button and was called by both blinds. The flop came {9-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{2-Clubs}, and Miles continued with a bet after action was checked to him.

Only the small blind called, and both players checked the {7-Spades} turn. On the {3-Hearts} river, Miles put out a bet of 5,000 and his opponent called after a brief deliberation.

Miles showed {a-Spades}{8-Clubs} for just ace-high, and his opponent showed him the same hand, {a-Diamonds}{8-Spades}. They split the pot.

Ho Catches His Opponent Making a Move

Level 4 : 200/400, 400 ante

Tony Ho was heads-up in a pot with the flop showing {8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}. His opponent shoved all in and Ho made the call.

Ho showed {8-Spades}{8-Hearts} for top set, while his opponent could only shrug and show {a-Hearts}{j-Spades} for ace-high and was drawing to runner-runner. The turn and river failed to help him, and Ho sent one home.

Ho also won the next pot when he hit a straight with {q-}{j-} and is up to around 60,000.
