Loiacono Scores KO

Geoff Paul

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Action opened from under the gun with a raise to 15,000. Jeff Loiacono then reraised to 55,000 from early position, and his opponent called after a minute.

The flop came 9♣2♥6♣. Both players immediately moved their stacks in, with the effective all-in bet from under the gun amounting to around 60,000.

Under the Gun: K♣Q♣
Jeff Loiacono: J♦J♣

The 2♠3♥ to finish the board did nothing for Loiacono's opponent, who exited the tournament area.

Set Over Set Gives Ng Victory

Geoff Paul

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

A player in late position raised to 9,000 preflop. Brian Ng then raised to 27,000 from the hijack, causing the previously-limped other players to fold. The late position player then went all in for approximately 42,000, and Ng made a snap call.

Late Position: 9♣9♥
Brian Ng: J♦J♥

Ng fell behind on the 9♠K♠A♠ flop, but turned a straight draw when the 10♥ came. Ng did not need the straight, though, as the J♠ river gave him the higher set and sent his opponent out of the tournament area.
