Kings Finally Make It

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Howard Smith raised from under the gun. Roberto Antelo was in the hijack and went all in for 570,000 chips. Austin Remmel had around 300,000 chips in the cutoff and called all in. When it came back to Smith, he called, having both all-in players covered.

Austin Remmel: Q♥Q♦ All in
Roberto Antelo: K♥K♣ All in
Howard Smith: 5♥5♦

After getting cracked four times at the same table, pocket kings finally saw a turnaround on the flop of 7♦K♦3♥, which gave Antelo top set and a massive advantage. The turn Q♠ gave Remmel a set as well, but he was still drawing to one out, while Smith was drawing dead. The river was the 3♣, sending the double-up to Antelo and eliminating Remmel.

According to the players, Remmel lost a pot versus Smith just the hand before, where Smith defended the big blind against Remmel’s preflop raise. Smith made Remmel fold two pair, after the river brought in the fourth card to a straight. Either player needed a queen for a straight and Smith showed the table he got there with Qx3x for the big blind special.

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Robert Gould moved all in at the cutoff position for his remaining 155,000.

The button and small folded, and then the player in the big blind asked for a count, which the dealer confirmed.

After a brief moment, the player in the big blind called to put Gould at risk.

“I have a beautiful hand,” Gould said before tabling his hand.

Robert Gould: J♣10♣ All in
Opponent: A♠6♠

Gould was behind preflop to his opponent’s ace, but the tables were turned when the dealer placed 6♣J♦4♦ on the board to give Gould a pair of jacks.

The 7♥ on the turn and 7x on the river gave Gould two pair and the win.

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Action folded around the table to Micah Trexler, who was on the button. Trexler raised to 130,000, and the player in the small blind folded.

WSOP bracelet winner and 2004 Main Event champion Greg Raymer was in the big blind and moved all in for his remaining chip stack, which was approximately a little more than 700,000.

Trexler, who had Raymer covered, took a moment to think over the situation before calling to put Raymer at risk.

Greg Raymer: K♦4♦ All in
Michah Trexler: A♥10♥

The dealer fanned 3♦2♦J♣ on the board, keeping Trexler’s ace in the lead. Raymer, through, picked up a flush draw.

The 3♥ on the turn and 5♥ on the river, though, didn’t help Raymer, who was eliminated.

Raymer graciously asked Trexler his name, and then autographed a fossil before handing it to Trexler. The two exchanged fist bumps just before Raymer quietly stood and exited the table.

Trexler showed the autographed fossil to the rest of the players at his table.

“It’s a cool keepsake,” Trexler said with a smile.

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

The cutoff raised and the button moved all in for around 200,000. Both the blinds called and the cutoff added a few to chips to the pot to take it four ways to the flop.

The dealer brought the all diamond J♦3♦2♦ board and all players checked to the K♦ turn.

There were quick checks all around, taking the four players to the 6♦ river, bringing in a flush on the board.

No further action was made and button, who was at risk, showed J♥10♠. Regina Sevilha in the big blind flipped over her hand and had a 4♦ which gave her the higher flush, knocking out the button. The other players mucked.

After the hand the button stood from the table and said "I was happy to see all diamonds".

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Mirko Maltese was in the small blind and got it all in preflop against Kawssan Ibrahim in the big blind.

Mirko Maltese: A♥3♦ All in
Kawssan Ibrahim: K♠7♥

Maltese was able to lock up the save already on the flop, which came A♣A♠5♦. The dealer dealt out the meaningless K♥ and 3♥ on the turn and river and got a thank you from Maltese after sending the pot his way.
