Wilson Gets Much Needed Aces

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Brad Wilson raised to 6,000 and a player three-bet to 12,000. The action folded back around to Wilson who jammed for 18,500 total and the opponent called.

Brad Wilson: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}
Opponent: {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}

Wilson's pocket rockets were well ahead and the run out of {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{2-Spades}{9-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} was a safe one for him to get a much-needed double up.

Del Toro Rivers Straight Flush; Eliminates Player With Quads

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Michael Del Toro opened to 4,200 from the cutoff and was called by the player on the button and the player in the small blind.

The flop came {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} and it was checked to the player on the button, who made a bet. The small blind and Del Toro both called.

The turn brought the {j-Diamonds} and the player in the small blind shoved for his remaining stack. Del Toro called and the button folded.

Michael Del Toro: {k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Small blind: {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}

The river brought the {9-Diamonds}, which simultaneously improved both players' hands, but kept Del Toro best with a straight flush against his opponent's quad nines and Del Toro scored the knockout.

Ramdin Out

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Victor Ramdin was all in for his last 300 in the small blind on a completed board of {k-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{q-Spades}{4-Diamonds}.

Ramdin held {4-Hearts}{5-Hearts}, which was no good against the {7-}{6-} of his opponent and Ramdin was eliminated.

According to Ramdin, he lost most of his chips in the hand prior, wherein he got all-in preflop against a player whom he barely had covered with pocket jacks against pocket eights and lost.

Johnson Breaths on the Pot to Win

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Angelo Kociper raised in middle position to 3,800 and Suzanne Johnson defended the big blind.

The dealer spread a flop of {8-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{6-Clubs} and Johnson check-called a bet of 5,100 from Kociper.

The turn was the {2-Clubs} and both players checked to see the {9-Clubs} on the river. Johnson eyed up her chips and as soon as she grabbed a stack that looked like 14,000 Kociper pitched his cards directly into the muck.
