Lemieux Slapshot Wins Pot

Level 16 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

With 130,000 in the middle after the {7-Clubs}{9-Spades}{10-Spades}{9-Clubs} turn, Chris Lemieux moved all-in for 161,000 from the small blind.

The hijack was not happy pondering over their decision. After some time, the hijack decided to call the clock on himself to quicken his thought process. With five seconds remaining the hijack called.

Chris Lemieux: {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs}
Hijack: {5-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}

The hijack could only hit the {5-Spades} to win the pot which didn't come as the {2-Hearts} hit the river putting Lemieux in contention to cash.

Reyes Has Aces Against Two All-Ins

Level 16 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Three players were involved in a preflop betting war, and when the re-raising was over, everyone was all-in and the small blind had them covered by a very small margin of chips.

Middle Position: {q-Diamonds}{j-Spades}
Jonathon Reyes: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}
Small Blind: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

Reyes was in the lead on a flop of {5-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} with the best two pair, and his competition would require some serious help to beat the pocket aces.

When the {4-Hearts} came on the turn, he didn't have to sweat much more, except the remaining two kings in the deck.

The {3-Spades} sealed the triple up for Reyes, and in one hand became a top stack amongst the remaining 963 players.
