Aces for Derkowski

Kirk Brown

Level 17 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Grzegorz Derkowski opened to 23,000 from the hijack and found only one customer in the form of Kevin Kent to his left.

The flop came out 3♣10♠7♠ and the action went check-check to the turn Q♣. Derkowski checked, Kent bet 40,000, and Derkowski called to see the Q♦ fall on the river, pairing the board. Derkowski checked once more, and Kent checked back, which prompted Derkowski to table A♠A♦K♥3♠ for aces-up and Kent folded.

Level 17 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Calen McNeil opened 17,000 in the hijack, and both Grant Hart and Grant Oen came along in the blinds.

"Let the best cowboy win," Hart said wearing a cowboy hat before the flop came out.

"You're the only cowboy here," a tablemate chimed in.

Hart responded sarcastically, "You're sharp. I didn't notice that when I said it."

The dealer spread the A♥K♦8♦ flop, and both Hart and Oen check-folded to a continuation-bet of 45,000 from McNeil.

Big Double for Shammas

Level 17 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Three players created a pot of 136,000 and the 9♠5♥2♥ flop was already on the felt. Geffrey Klein was first to act and bet 136,000 and it didn't take long for Joseph Shammas to announce all in for 193,000. Maksim Dukic got out of the way and Klein made the call.

Joseph Shammas: 7♦5♦4♥3♥ All in
Geffrey Klein: A♦A♣Q♠10♦

Shammas had flopped a massive draw with a pair, flush draw and open-ended straight draw. The 8♣ turn changed nothing but the 4♦ river gave him two pair to score the double and leave Klein short.

Perez Doubles with Nuts, Bergman Exits

Kirk Brown

Level 17 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

On a multi-way flop of A♦J♣Q♠, Edward Bergman checked, a player bet 25,000, and then Erik Perez potted it to 123,000. Bergman then check-raised all in, which prompted a quick fold from the original raiser and Perez got the rest of his chips in, putting himself at risk.

Erik Perez: K♠10♦9♠7♦ All in
Edward Bergman: A♠A♣10♥6♦

Perez was in the lead with his flopped nut straight, but he needed to fade the board pairing against Bergman or a king that would mean a chop. Fortunately for him, the runout of 6♠7♣ were complete bricks and he was pushed the pot for the double.

Meanwhile, Bergman was left short and wound up exiting two hands later to Jonathan Bowers.

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Graeme Frank opened 30,000 in early position, and Mike Dentale called before Jarryd Godena three-bet 135,000 on the button. Frank announced a pot-size raise, forcing Dentale to fold, and Godena called off his stack of 264,000.

Jarryd Godena: A♠A♥K♣Q♠ All in
