Negreanu Doubles Up Nuwwarah

Ollie Garland

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

The pot stood at approximately 24,000 with three players looking at a flop of Q♠6♥7♦.

Mohammed Nuwwarah, in the big blind, checked the action to the hijack who bet out. Daniel Negreanu, on the button, raised the size of the pot, which was enough to put Nuwwarah all in for his effective stack of 23,700. Nuwwarah called off the bet for his tournament life and the hijack folded.

Mohammed Nuwwarah: 10♦9♠8♦2♠ All in
Daniel Negreanu: A♦Q♦8♣7♠

The 10♠ turn and 8♥ river improved Nuwwarah to a straight and he doubled up.

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

The pot stood at 5,000 with three players looking at a flop of J♣5♠2♦.

Both the blinds checked the action to Ardit Kurshumi, on the button. Kurshumi bet out 2,500 and only Davidi Kitai, in the big blind, made the call.

The J♦ turn saw a repeat of the action, this time Kurshumi sized up to 5,500.

The 6♦ checked to a showdown. Kurshumi rolled over A♣J♥10♦4♥ for trips, winning him this pot.

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Brandon Sheils started the hand with 28,000 in chips and raised pot from the button to 5,400. Ethan Cahn was in the small blind and re-potted to 17,400. Sheils called.

The flop came 2♥Q♣9♦. Chan put Sheils all in and Sheils quickly called.

Brandon Sheils: A♣K♠Q♦9♣ All in
Ethan Cahn: K♥K♣7♠5♠

Sheils flopped two pair, which held on the 10♣ turn and even gave him the nut flush draw and a gutshot.

The river, however, paired the board. It was the 2♠ that gave Cahn better two pair, kings and deuces, and Sheils was out of another buy-in.

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

The pot stood at 8,300 with two players negotiating a flop of A♥4♥6♦.

The small blind check-called a bet of 3,000 from Nacho Barbero, on the button.

The A♦ turn and 8♠ river checked to a showdown. The small blind showed the 6♠ for a pair of sixes. Barbero tabled Q♠6♣, which was enough for the small blind to muck their cards. Barbero rolled over the 10♣7♠ to complete his hand and claim the pot.

Ludlow Fades to Double

Kirk Brown

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

On a heads-up flop of 10♠Q♥2♣, short-stacked Ben Ludlow moved all in and was quickly called by the player to his left to put him at risk.

Ben Ludlow: A♣Q♣6♣J♠ All in
Opponent: K♣J♣9♥6♥

Ludlow was currently ahead with his pair of queens, but still had to dodge a lot of outs as his opponent had a wrap and a backdoor flush draw.

Fortunately for Ludlow, the runout of 6♠2♦ was safe for him and he scooped the pot for a double.

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Michael Maddocks three-bet preflop to 5,500 and the player under the gun called, as did Shaun Deeb in the cutoff.

The flop came J♦9♥5♥. Under the gun checked and Deeb bet the pot, which was 19,000. Maddocks called and under the gun folded. Before the dealer dealt the turn, Deeb asked Maddocks if there is any chance he will fold. "It depends on what comes on the turn,“ replied Maddocks.

The turn was the 7♠ and Deeb went all in, which Maddocks quickly called.

Shaun Deeb: K♦10♦8♥2♥ All in
Michael Maddocks: Q♥J♥10♣8♣

Both players turned the nut straight and had a flush draw to go with it, but Maddocks‘s draw was better.

The river came a K♠, which completed Maddocks less obvious draw to a better straight, nine-to-king, and Deeb was eliminated.

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

The pot stood at 7,500 with two players heading to a flop of 9♥K♣2♦.

Both the under-the-gun player and Ludovic Geilich, in the cutoff, checked through to the Q♦ on the turn. The cutoff checked again and Geilich bet out 4,500, earning a quick fold.

As he raked in the pot, Geilich said "Good fold, I'll show ya!" as he flashed K♥QxJ♠ for two pair.
