Daly Doubles Up

Maxime Taldir

Level 36 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

Jason Daly in the cutoff and his 4,800,000 chip stack moved all-in. He was called by Michael Liang in the big blind.

Michael Liang: A♣J♦ All in
Jason Daly: A♠10♥

After the flop of 8♥A♥9♥ where both players hit top pair, Daly was looking for hearts to double up. He didn't find any with the A♦ turn, but the K♥ river completed his flush and he doubled up.

Level 36 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

The Q♣4♠3♠ flop was on the felt and Jorge Postigo bet 1,300,000 from the small blind and Rosen Apostolov called in the big blind.

The 5♣ fell on the turn, and Postigo moved all-in for 7,100,000. Apostolov wasted little time making the call and both players tossed their hands on their backs.

Jorge Postigo: 4♣3♣ All in
Rosen Apostolov: Q♥8♥

Postigo flopped two pair and the J♥ river changed nothing as he pulled in the double.

Duc Nguyen opened from the hijack to 1,600,000. It folded to David Rivera in the big blind. He went all in for 7,500,000 chips.

Nguyen thought for a while and then called.

David Rivera: A♥4♥ All in
Duc Nguyen: K♥J♥

Nguyen was behind but got ahead on the 9♦J♣3♥ flop. Rivera got no help on the 10♦ turn and 2♦ river and had to hit the rail.

Carlos Leiva: 4♦4♣ All in
Michael Liang: Q♥Q♠

The flop came 8♦Q♣A♥ with Liang hitting a set of queens.

Level 36 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

The cards were already face up with Justin Zaki at risk on the button for his remaining stack. He was up against Ilija Savevski in the small blind.

Justin Zaki: K♦9♣
Ilija Savevski: A♥K♥

Savevski had top pair on the 5♠8♥A♣ flop, and 6♠9♠ runout wasn't enough to save him.

Level 36 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

Action started with a raise by Rosen Apostolov from the cutoff to 7,000,000. Anthony Ruttler was in the small blind and raised all in. Avi Cohen in the big blind had 6,500,000 chips and called all in. He thought all players were all in and flipped over his cards. Apostolov, who had had only around a million chips behind thought for a while and then sigh-called.

Avi Cohen: A♥K♠ All in
Rosen Apostolov: K♥10♥
Anthony Ruttler: 9♦9♣

Ruttler was ahead before the flop and Apostolov was in the worst position. However, this soon changed on the flop of 2♠10♣4♦, which put Apostolov in the lead.

The turn 6♥ and river Q♦ changed nothing for the main or side pot, and Apostolov near-tripled-up. Cohen’s ace-king lost the side pot to Ruttler’s nines and he was out of the tournament.

Level 36 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

Jason Daly jammed 4,200,000 in the small blind and Michael Liang called in the big blind.

Jason Daly: A♠4♠ All in
Michael Liang: Q♦3♥

The Q♥7♥2♣ flop gave Liang a pair of queens to take the lead. Daly stood up as if to walk away from the table as he saw the queen and the A♦ fell on the turn. The 8♦ completed the board on the river and Daly sat back down.
