Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

On a board of 7♦7♣6♦4♦, Richard Kirsch had shoved all in on the turn, which left Abdul Amer the decision for his stack of around 90,000.

"Are you tanking with six-x? You have a rag six?" asked Kirsch.

Amer took around two minutes to make a decision but eventually did commit the rest of his stack.

Abdul Amer: A♦6♣ All in
Richard Kirsch: 8♦8♠

"See, I knew you had a rag six," said Kirsch.

Kirsch was in the lead but couldn't hold on as the dealer slammed a 6♠ on the river, which improved Amer to a full house.

"See, I didn't have a rag six. I had the boss six," remarked Amer as he raked in the pot.

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Brek Schutten was all in for his last 44,000 from the cutoff, and Alexandru Papazian made the call from the button.

Brek Schutten: 6♥5♥ All in
Alexandru Papazian: K♠K♦

Schutten looked to be heading home but the 5♦9♣8♣ flop provided a plethora of outs for the American player.

One of those outs appeared on the turn as the 7♥ completed Schutten's straight, which left Papazian drawing to a chop.

No such chop would occur as the 10♠ river gave Schutten the double-up.
