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

There was more than 120,000 in the middle heading to the river on a board of 10♣10♠2♣3♦8♣, with Kevin Maahs already all in from the big blind as two opponents built a side pot.

The small blind then bet 30,000 and another player in early position called. The small blind showed 8♦8♥ for a rivered full house, the early-position player mucked Q♠10♥ for trips, but Maahs turned over 10♦2♠ for a flopped full house to win the pot as the 2019 Main Event finalist tripled up.

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

Action folded to Kevin Ordet, who raised to 3,500 on the button, and then things escalated quickly after the small blind folded.

The player in the big blind three-bet to 11,500, returning action to Ordet.

Ordet paused a moment before reaching into his stack for chips, and then four-bet to 27,000.

The player in the big blind responded with a five-bet by moving all in, and Ordet immediately called to put his opponent at risk.

“You have aces?” the player in the big blind asked.

He would discover Ordet had the next best thing when the hands were tabled.

Player in Big Blind: J♣J♠ All in
Kevin Ordet: K♥K♠

Ordet had the lead in the hand and it remained that way after the dealer fanned 7♥7♠2♠ on the flop. The 10♣ on the turn and Q♠ on the river gave Ordet the win and knockout blow.

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

Tom Dwan raised to 3,000 in early position before Johannes Becker three-bet to 12,000 on the button. Dwan called and they went heads-up to the K♣10♦3♦ flop.

Becker bet another 11,000 and Dwan called. Both players then checked the A♣ turn.

The river was the K♥ and Becker fired out 34,000. Dwan immediately turned around the table and leaned back in his chair as he shuffled his chips for several minutes. He eventually tossed them in to call and Becker showed him K♠Q♠ for trips to win the pot.
