Tang Gets a Quick Double

Jeremy Geist

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

The action folded to Danny Tang on the button who only took a moment before slowly and quietly moving all of his chips into the middle. He was sneaky enough that the dealer didn't see for about 20 seconds before tossing him the all in button. The small blind folded but the big blind called pretty quickly.

The cards hit their back.

Danny Tang: 6♣6♦
Big Blind: A♣Q♠

"I'm ahead." Tang said "I just have to stay ahead to keep my 10k...for now"

The board ran out 2♠9♠K♣10♥9♦ and Tang scored a much needed double.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

A player raised in early position to 6,500 finding two callers; Valeriano Toledano in middle position and Chris Hunichen in the big blind.

The flop came down 5♥10♥K♦. The action was checked to the preflop aggressor who bet out for 7,000. Only Toledano called and two players went to the turn.

The 3♥ fell and Toledano was faced with another bet of 12,000, which he called.

The river came the J♣ and the action checked through. The original raiser tabled Q♦J♦, unfortunately, a pair of jacks was no good against the K♣Q♣ of Toledano who took down this pot.

Valeriano Toledano	229,000 47,000	47,000
Chris Hunichen	33,000 33,000	33,000

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

There was an open to 6,500 from middle position. Next to act put in the cold three bet to 18,000. When action made its way to Jeremy Ausmus on the button he did some accounting of his chips, did some accounting of his opponent's and then put in the cold four bet to 40,000.

The player in middle position folded and action was on the three bettor. He chuckled as he put out the 40,000 with only about 9,000 back.

The Q♦10♠J♣ was about to hit the felt and Ausmus already had 10,000 in chips out to signify he was putting his opponent all in regardless of the flop. His opponent made the call and the cards hit their back.

Three bettor: A♠4♠
Jeremy Ausmus: K♥K♦

The turn was an 8♦ and the river was a 4♦ and Ausmus sent his opponent to the rail.
