A Standard Hand; Big Stacks Don't Clash

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

John Dubard and Kathy Liebert in the big blind were heads up to a flop of 6108 and both tapped the table.

The turn peeled the 10 and they both checked again.

The river double-paired the board with the 8 and when both players checked, Liebert shrugged her shoulder, so to say she couldn't win. Dubard tabled AQ to take the pot with ace high.

Barbura Steadily Chipping Up

Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Middle position open-ripped his 33,000-chip stack into the middle. Silvan Barbura called the shove from the hijack and the rest of the table folded.

Middle Position: Q10 All in
Silvan Barbura: KJ

Both opponents made a pair on the 4QK flop before the turn 2 and river 5 peeled off and the middle position could not improve and was eliminated.

Tran Cracks Aces in Dramatic Runout

Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Po Chung Tran found himself involved in a three-way all-in preflop. Tran covered one of his opponents, but was still at risk, as his other opponent had him covered.

Opponent: 77 All in
Po Chung Tran: [JJ All in
Opponent: AA

The short-stacked player pulled ahead by spiking a seven on the 765 flop. Tran was still on the brink of elimination, as the player with aces had him covered.

The turn brought the 4 and the river landed the J, giving Tran a set of jacks, to scoop both the main and side pots.

Small Blind: QJ All in
Big Blind: AA All in
Gautam Lillaney: 55

An action flop all around, the 6 turn and 2 river hit the felt, and Lillaney dragged in the whole lot while stacking two players.
