Luna on a Rush

Jeff McMillan

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

There was a large pot of 90,000 in the middle already on a flop of Q♦5♠8♠. The button bet 55,000 and Albert Luna was in early position as he jammed all in for 143,000.

The button went into a deep tank as the shove was for over 90% of his chips. After a solid 3 minutes, he decided to call.

Button: K♥K♦ All in
Albert Luna: A♥A♣

The turn was the 4♦ and the river the 10♥ as Luna gathered the huge pot.

The next hand he collected another one with a 20,000 value bet on the end with AxKx on a king high board which got a call as his chio surge continued.

The player in the hijack shoved for his last 14,000 and it was folded to Brent Hanks on the button, who also went all in for more. Everyone else got out of the way and a showdown was held.

Hijack: A♦8♠ All in
Brent Hanks: A♣K♥

The 5♣3♥K♦ flop left Hanks' opponent all but drawing dead and the 7♣10♣ runout confirmed the knockout to send the pot Hanks' way.

"It's been a rough one, but we're still alive," Hanks said after collecting the pot.

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

A player in first position opened to 3,500 which saw a player in early position three-bet to 11,000. After some confusion about what the intent of his sizing was meant to be, action folded around to Terry Williams in the small blind who moved all in for 40,500 which saw only the early position player call.

Terry Williams: A♥A♠ All in
Opponent: K♣K♦

The board ran out J♠8♥6♦7♥2♥ and the aces held up for Williams to double up.

Liang Puts Opponent to the Test

Kai Cocklin

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

On a board of 10♥7♥4♦K♥3♦, there were around 20,000 chips in the pot when Patrick Liang fired 28,000 into the middle. His opponent from the big blind had been in the tank for around six minutes according to the table before the clock was eventually called. Once the floor arrived, the 30-second countdown began and as it hit zero, there was no action from the big blind so his hand was declared dead.

"That was the toughest decision of my life," said the big blind before he folded.
