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

Eric Wong three-bet to 5,500 in the hijack before the small blind reraised to 15,000. Another player in early position then moved all in for 48,000, Wong reshoved, and the small blind folded.

All-In Player: Q♦Q♠ All in
Eric Wong: A♠A♦

The at-risk player was far behind Wong's two aces as the flop came J♦8♦3♠. The J♥ turn was no help, while Wong improved to a full house on the A♥ river to send his opponent to the rail.

"You saved me. I was probably calling him," the small blind told Wong after the hand.

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

Matthew Bretzfield raised to 3,000 in early position and Ryan Leng called in middle position. Mathieu Boucher then three-bet to 13,000 in the hijack and both Bretzfield and Leng called.

The flop came 9♦J♦5♠ and Boucher moved all in for 37,000. Only Leng called.

Mathieu Boucher: A♠J♠ All in
Ryan Leng: 9♠8♠

Boucher was ahead with top pair as the A♣ fell on the turn to improve him to two pair. The river was the K♠ and Boucher doubled up.

"I got it in bad, stayed bad," Leng said after the hand.

This table also includes Andrew Day, Conrad Simpson, and Daniel Mulhall. "I won the Borgata Winter Open in 2009 for $63K. Still have some left over," Mulhall said.

"I was in the big blind," Day added, trying to join in on the action of the last pot.

"You came across the funnest table of the day," another tablemate added.

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

Hon Cheong "Ivan" Lee raised to 3,500 from an early position and the small blind three-bet to 11,000. Lee then jammed and the small blind asked for a count.

"Around thirty five," Lee responded and his shove was counted to be for 39,500. The small blind called with the A♠K♦ and had "two flush draws" against Lee's A♥K♥.

Both chopped it up after a board of A♣7♦2♥4♦J♥ and the small blind bemoaned "why can't you have kings?"
