Crane Dislikes Ace-Queen

Joseph Berg

Level 17 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Sebastian Crane is not a big fan of ace-queen, and here's why:

Hand 1:

Sebastian Crane raised to 13,000 from under the gun. Paris Sitzoukis then three-bet from the small blind to 60,000. Crane went all in, and Sitzoukis called for 319,000 and was at risk.

Paris Sitzoukis: A♠Q♠ All in
Sebastian Crane: K♣K♠

The dealer ran out a board of A♥3♥2♦8♠9♠, securing a much-needed double up for Sitzoukis.

Hand 2:

Matthew Lambrecht went all in and was at risk from under the gun for 56,000 and was called by Sebastian Crane in the big blind. Once again, Crane was all in against ace-queen, but this time he was the one who needed some help from the dealer.

Matthew Lambrecht: A♣Q♥ All in
Sebastian Crane: A♠10♦

The runout came 9♣7♥K♦K♠6♠, giving Lambrecht a welcome boost to his chip stack. While strengthening Crane's dislike for ace-queen.

Level 17 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Brian Green was in the small blind and raised to 22,000, and Dean Lyall was in the big blind and made the call. The flop came out with 10♦2♦A♣, and Green bet out 35,000, and Lyall called.

The turn brought the 3♥ and Green bet again for 47,000, and Lyall called again.

On the river 3♣, Green continued with the aggression and bet out 110,000, and Lyall thought for a while and made the call. Lyall immediately mucked when Green turned over A♥J♠ for two pair and the win.

Level 17 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Andrew Wall opened to 16,000 from under the gun and Diego Fernandez called on his left. Samy Dubonnet made the call on the button before Umesh Babusukumar moved all in for 91,000 in the big blind.

After taking a moment, Wall announced all in. Fernandez and Dubonnet got out of the way, leaving Babusukumar at risk heads up.

Umesh Babusukumar: A♥A♦ All in
Andrew Wall: J♣J♥

Babusukumar improved to a set of aces on the 4♠2♥A♠ flop, and improved further after the 4♣ turn hit the felt. The 3♥ river completed the board, seeing Babusukumar double up through Wall.

Level 17 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Action was picked up on the flop of 10♣10♠4♠, and the pot was approximately 150,000. Gregory Brown moved all in with the larger stack, effective 88,000, and Sanjeev Sisodiya made the call.

Sanjeev Sisodiya: J♥10♥ All in
Gregory Brown: A♦Q♣

The turn 9♥ and the river 4♣ did not affect the outcome as Sisodiya held trip tens, which turned into a full house by the river. Brown was left with a very short stack.

Adam Hendrix got his short stack into the middle and was at risk against Chino Rheem.

Adam Hendrix: 9♣9♥ All in
Chino Rheem: A♠Q♦

Hendrix was flipping for his tournament life, holding through the 2♥5♣7♦ flop and K♦ turn. Rheem then connected with the Q♥ river, making a pair of queens to take out Hendrix.
