2024 World Series of Poker
Jeevan Nomula managed to earn himself a double-up after getting his stack of 131,000 in preflop against Eran Aydin.
Jeevan Nomula: K♣K♦
Eran Aydin: AxKx
The 5♣4♣6♦2♥10♣ board ran clean for Nomula, which meant he doubled up.
On a turn of 9♣Q♦3♦J♦, Hoyin Lee had looked up an all-in bet of his opponent.
Opponent: Q♥J♥
Hoyin Lee: 7♦6♦
The 4♥ river did not improve the all-in player's two pair, and Lee's flush eliminated him. Lee dragged a sizable pot and neared a stack of 200 big blinds.
Action came in on the turn as the board read Q♦A♦10♠3♣. The pot had about 88,000 in it and two of the bigger stacks were clashing as Raul Manzanares bet 52,000 from early position.
Hai Pham was in the hijack and raised to 125,000 which Manzanares called after a moment. The river was the K♦ to put three to a royal on board. Manzanares led with a small bet of 33,000. Pham called quickly.
Manzanares tabled the K♣J♥ and Pham showed the K♠J♦ as the players bumped fists and chopped the pot up.
Kevin Killeen opened to 6,000 from early position and was called by Dan Shak on the button for a heads-up pot.
Killeen proceeded to check-call bets from Shak on every street. First for 10,500 on the 6♦2♦5♦ flop, then for 35,000 on the 8♣ turn, and finally for Killeen's remaining 106,500 on the 10♥ river.
Killeen turned over a slowplayed A♦7♦ for the nut flush and Shak showed he held J♦10♦ for a lower flush to award Killeen the double up.
