Nelson Stacks Opponent with Aces vs. Kings

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

The under-the-gun player made it 30,000 and Maurice Nelson raised to 100,000 from the button, which represented nearly his entire stack.

The preflop aggressor went over the top and Nelson called.

Under the gun: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Maurice Nelson: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}

Nelson's aces would be ahead on the {3-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{j-Hearts} flop and had his opponent drawing to two outs when the {6-Spades} came on the turn.

The {7-Clubs} on the river eliminated Nelson's opponent and gave Nelson a total stack of 269,000.

Click Battle on the Flop Doubles up Tsang through D'Ambrosio

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

With 90,000 already in the middle, the flop came {j-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}.

Yan Shing Tsang, who was under the gun, put in a bet of 20,000 and Jimmy D'Ambrosio min-clicked it up to 40,000.

After the big blind folded, Tsang clicked it back to 70,000 with only 45,000 behind. D'Ambrosio was puzzled by the "weird click" and contemplated his decision for about two minutes before putting Tsang all-in, admitting he would "definitely need some help." Tsang called.

Yan Shing Tsang: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}
Jimmy D'Ambrosio: {a-Spades}{10-Spades}

The {9-Diamonds} was no help for D'Ambrosio and neither was the river {8-Clubs}, which allowed Tsang to double up and take his chip stack to 300,000.

D'Ambrosio Talks His Way Into the Right Call

Level 20 : 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Jimmy D'Ambrosio
Jimmy D'Ambrosio

An early position player raised to 28,000 and both Jimmy D'Ambrosio and the big blind came along.

The flop was {4-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{6-Clubs}, the big blind checked and the original raiser bet 37,000. Only D'Ambrosio called.

On the turn {10-Hearts}, the early position player check-called a bet of 27,000 from D'Ambrosio.

Things got interesting on the {7-Hearts} river to put four hearts out there. The early position player sized up to 70,000 and sent D'Ambrosio deep into the tank.

D'Ambrosio gave his opponent an intense staredown before starting his patented table talk.

"Blocker bet, right?" he inquired, to no response from his opponent.

"If I put you all in would you get excited or would you shift in your seat?" asked D'Ambrosio.

"Let me see your throat," he said next, as his opponent humored him.

Finally, D'Ambrosio settled on a call and his opponent tabled {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for top pair. D'Ambrosio had that beat though with his {8-Clubs}{4-Clubs} for a straight and picked up a nice pot.

Bendeck Wins Mammoth 750,000-Chip All-In with Aces

Level 20 : 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

From the button, Roberto Bendeck was able to successfully put all 366,600 of his chips into the middle with pocket aces against his late-position opponent.

Roberto Bendeck: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}
Late Position: {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}

The {9-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{6-Spades} was pretty clean for Bendeck and the {2-Clubs} turn gave his opponent just two outs.

A {q-Spades} on the river gave Bendeck a full double-up worth roughly 750,000.

Yocca's Dream Stays Alive with Flush on the River

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

John Yocca put his final 320,000 chips into the middle from under the gun. The player in late position called.

John Yocca: {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs}
Late Position: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}

Though Yocca was behind preflop, the {3-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} flop gave him flush outs.

The {k-Diamonds} was no help on the turn but a {9-Clubs} on the river gave him a full double up to 690,000 chips.

Jimmy D’Ambrosio

There was an early position open to 50,000, Aylar Lie three-bet to 150,000, and Jimmy D'Ambrosio four-bet shoved for about 600,000. The original raiser folded and Lie called all-in for less.

Aylar Lie: {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Jimmy D'Ambrosio: {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

Lie was drawing thin as the {8-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} hit the flop and the turn {k-Spades} sealed the deal for D'Ambrosio with a set of kings as the {j-Diamonds} hit the river.

D'Ambrosio soars up the leaderboard as one of the late-night leaders.
