Crowley Finds Running Cards to Defeat Set

Level 12 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Joseph Crowley was all in preflop for around 60,000 chips with {k-}{q-} against the {7-}{7-} of an opponent, and he mentioned he needed to go elsewhere anyway.

The {7-}{8-}{j-} flop left Crowley drawing slim. Crowley suddenly wanted to stay and asked for a ten and sure enough, the {10-} came on the turn to give him hope. The river was the {9-} to give him a straight and the entire table groaned as what began as a simple flip, turned into a bad beat of sorts by the end.

Reis Doubles Through Kim

Level 12 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Rafael Reis raised preflop to 8,000 only for Denny Kim to three-bet him to 21,000. Reis four-bet shoved for 67,000 and Kim made the call.

Rafael Reis: {k-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Denny Kim: {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}

The flop of {k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{7-Clubs} put Kim in the lead, but the turn brought the {q-Spades} filling up Reis and the {k-Spades} improved his hand yet again to Kings full and Kim paid him the full double up.

Pavilion Emptying Out

Level 12 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

As the blinds escalate, players are busting and tables are breaking at a rapid pace.

The white section of the Pavilion room is the final remaining active section in the room, with action being consolidated into the Brasilia room.

Kim Rivers A Pair

Level 12 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

A player in the hijack called followed by the button and small blind doing the same. Anthony Kim checked the option in the big blind and the flop came out {4-Hearts}{a-Spades}{a-Clubs} with action checking to the Hijack who bet 3,000. The button called, the small blind folded and Kim called.

The turn was a {6-Spades} and the action checked around.

The river was the {3-Diamonds} and it was checked to showdown. Kim showed {3-Spades}{5-Spades} for rivered bottom pair and it was good.

Pai Finds Ace on the River

Level 11 : 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

After some previous action preflop, Lejohn Pai was on the button and was all in for around 60,000 chips, a player in the hijack called. The player in the cutoff, who already had committed 21,000 chips to the pot, folded and showed he laid down {a-}{q-}. With that, hands were revealed.

Lejohn Pai: {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}
Hijack: {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

Pai was flipping for his tournament life and found no help on the {9-}{5-}{6-} flop. The {2-} turn changed nothing, but the {a-} appeared on the river to save Pai.

Su Puts Jackson to the Test

Level 11 : 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

2019 WSOP main event 8th place finisher Timothy Su just added to his growing stack with a large win over David Jackson.

Jackson raised Su's big blind, which Su defended to see a flop of {8-Spades}{a-Clubs}{4-Clubs}.

Su check-called a bet of 3,000 from Jackson to see a turn of {3-Spades}.

Again, Su checked, and Jackson escalated his bet sizing to 27,000, which Su again called.

The river brought the {5-Diamonds}, and Su moved all-in for Jackson's remaining 95,000.

Jackson went into the tank for three minutes before finally releasing and asking to show one card, which Su denied as he dragged the pot.
