Ordet’s Kings send Jacks to the Rail

Herbie Teope

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.

Jeff McMillan

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

Action was on the turn with a board reading K♦9♠2♥2♦. From the button, Donovan Dean fired 20,000. David Uvaydov met him with a call under the gun.

The river came the J♣. Uvaydov checked it and Dean checked back which turned out to be a good move as Uvaydov tabled the K♠K♣ monster for the boat as he reeled in a few chips from the big stack.

After the elimination of Dean Hutchison, the player from under the gun raised and Chip Jett called in the cutoff. The A♣Q♣8♦ flop was checked and the 4♦ turn brought a delayed continuation bet of 4,500, which Jett called.

When the 5♠ fell on the river, the under-the-gun player check-called for 15,000 and Jett tabled 7♦6♦ for a rivered nut straight.

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.
