Saeed Cuts From Big Stack With Ace High Call

Jeff McMillan

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Action was joined on the river as the board read 6♥7♠2♥3♥Q♠. There was a pot north of 100,000 in the middle and Omar Saeed was mid-tank for his entire stack from the button.

Big stack Casey Brown had forced him all in from middle position. Saeed stewed it over for his remaining amount of around 45,000 and eventually he spiked a stack of chips in the middle for the call.

Omar Saeed: A♦K♦ All in
Casey Brown: 9♦8♦

Saeed had just ace high but it beat the air that Brown had to take away a good portion of the big stack's chips.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

The action was on the flop of K♦2♣Q♠. From the small blind, Bin Weng bet 18,500, which a the middle position opponent.

The turn came the Q♣. Weng fired again for 51,500. His opponent went into the tank and thought about it uncomfortably before eventually releasing his cards.

"Want to see it?" asked Weng. "No," replied his opponent immediately. But Weng showed the cards to the two players next to him anyway and then flashed them to the reporter watching the hand before finally tabling them, the 10♣4♠, for a complete bluff, and he gathered even more chips to his stack.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

On a board reading 3♦Q♦9♠Q♠. Aaron Massey called the bet of 12,000 from Daniyal Gheba to go to the river, which was the 9♦.

The action went check-check. Massey said, "You got it," before flipping over the Qx10x for what was very likely the best hand as he admitted to a mild slow roll of Gheba, which Massey said was payback for something before the two players shared a lighthearted moment.
