The Rich Get Richer

Level 19 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Thomas Patzner raised and then called the shove of a short stack for what appeared to be 165,000.

Patzner was trailing preflop with {a-Hearts}{q-Spades} versus {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} and fell further behind on the {k-Spades}{7-Clubs}{2-Spades} flop. However, the {7-Spades} turn and {j-Spades} river completed an unlikely flush, and Patzner further chipped up.

Gross Spikes a River Double

Level 19 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Following an open raise and a shove by a player for 290,000, Matthew Gross called all-in for 265,000. The initial raiser folded the {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} face up and was then greeted by the initial jammer's {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}. Gross tabled the {a-Spades}{q-Clubs} and made the top two pair on the {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} flop but still needed another ace.

The {3-Hearts} turn was a brick but the {a-Diamonds} river came to the rescue for Gross.

Fairclough Busts; Zurn Doubles

Level 19 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

David Fairclough got his chips in with the {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} and was well ahead of {a-Spades}{8-Hearts}. However, his opponent made trips eights on the {q-Clubs}{8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}. The very same player then three-bet and called the four-bet shove by Michael Zurn for 565,000 total.

Michael Zurn: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Opponent: {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}

The {a-Clubs}{10-Spades}{3-Spades}{2-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} board delivered no upset this time and Zurn doubled.

Level 20 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Following the jam by a short stack for just 65,000, the small also moved all-in and Chung Ho called with the superior stack in the big blind.

Short stack: {q-Clubs}{7-Hearts}
Small Blind: {a-Clubs}{6-Clubs}
Chung Ho: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}

The {q-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{2-Spades}{10-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} board kept the short stack in contention while the small blind bowed out against Ho after missing the flush draw.

Burton Busts One

Level 20 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

"Way too many outs," it was summed up by another player at the table as a shorter stack was all-in with the {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}. Robbie Burton had that covered and took the flip with {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}. The {10-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{4-Spades} board was a tease with the flush and wheel draw but Burton's pair held up to earn the pot.
