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.

Tim Baker

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

When the action folded around to Joe McKeehen on the button he moved all in for roughly 35,000. The small blind folded, but John Kenner snap-called out of the big blind.

Joe McKeehen: 6♣5♣ All in
John Kenner: A♥A♦

The flop of 8♦3♦9♥ offered up a gutshot to McKeehen. But the Q♥ turn and 2♣ river were no help to him, and he was sent to the rail
