Dean Avoids Getting Aces Cracked

Level 17 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

A short-stacked opponent moved all-in and was called by Donovan Dean, who had a bigger stack.

Opponent: {k-}{q-}
Donovan Dean: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}

The flop came {2-Hearts}{q-Spades}{k-Diamonds} to give the opponent a big lead with two pair ahead of the aces of Dean. But the suck-out was not meant to be as the board ran out {9-Hearts}{a-Diamonds} to improve Dean to a set and crush the opponent's hopes of doubling up.

Da-Silva Nearing One Million After Flopping Trips with Ace-King

Level 16 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Chris Da-Silva
Chris Da-Silva

The under-the-gun player opened for 16,000 and was called by the big blind. Chris Da-Silva raised to 68,000 and was called by both players.

The flop came {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{a-Spades} and Da-Silva bet 50,000. The player under the gun raised to 125,000 and after the button folded, 90 seconds went by before Da-Silva moved all-in for his remaining 288,000.

The player under the gun went in the tank for about four minutes, complaining that he "shouldn't have played this hand" and that mistakes were made. Eventually he would make the call.

Chris Da-Silva: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}
Under the Gun: {a-Hearts}{7-Hearts}

Da-Silva was way out in front and stayed in front after the board ran out {10-Spades}{4-Hearts}.

The England native is now at just under 900,000.

Anderson Flops Two Pair to Bust Opponent

Level 16 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Francis Anderson opened from middle position for 17,000 before the button moved all in with the effective stack of 69,000. Anderson quickly called.

Opponent: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}
Francis Anderson: {k-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

Anderson was drawing thin with his Opponent ahead and blocking some of his outs. He got all the help he would need, though, on the {7-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} flop, giving him top two. The board finished out inconsequentially {5-Clubs}{8-Clubs}, meaning Anderson's two pair had held, giving him the pot, and sending his opponent to the rail.
