Smith Scoops with Jacks-Full

Nick Vazquez

Level 17 : Blinds 0/0, 8,000 ante

J♥9♠8♦8♠Q♦
10♣6♥5♦J♣10♥

Sergiy Alariki bet 30,000 on the flop, and only Brian Smith called from the button.

Action went check-check on the turn, before Alariki bet 125,000 on the river. Smith then went all in for 167,000. Alariki paused for a moment before making the call.

Smith showed J♠J♦5♣3♣ for a full house on both boards, and Alariki mucked.

Level 17 : Blinds 0/0, 8,000 ante

10♥K♥6♦
A♠3♣A♣

On an action flop the players checked to Katherine Kolberg who moved all in for 114,000. Kolberg was called by Shariq Khan in the big blind. The players flipped their cards over with one player at risk.

Katherine Kolberg: A♥9♥3♥6♣ All in
Shariq Khan: A♦10♦9♠3♠

Both players had almost the same hand with Khan having Kolberg out-pipped.

K♠K♣
K♦J♠

With all the kings in the deck on the board, both players held aces full of threes on the bottom board and Khan held an ace-ten to hold a higher kicker of the three-of-a-kind on the top board as he took three quarters of the pot.

Player	Chips	Progress
Shariq Khan	270,000 93,000	93,000

Nanev No Good

Level 18 : Blinds 0/0, 10,000 ante

Q♣A♠Q♦5♥10♠
A♥6♣2♠9♣8♣

Three players got it all in at the culmination of these two boards, and there was a scramble to find out which one was taking down each board.

Igor Zekster showed down A♣Q♠6♦8♦, as he had the second-best full house on the top board (queens-full), as well as aces-up on the bottom. Fabian Rolli then tabled A♦10♣9♠7♥ to take over the lead on the bottom board with the best straight possible (ten-high). The only thing that would have kept Rumen Nanev alive was two aces, or two clubs. His Q♥J♥J♣2♥ did not qualify, and the dealer called for him to be paid out.

Player	Chips	Progress
Fabian Rolli	510,000 346,000	346,000
Igor Zektser	380,000 271,000	271,000

Rumen Nanev	Busted

Level 18 : Blinds 0/0, 10,000 ante

K♦Q♠6♠3♦A♦
K♥J♥7♥9♥7♠

Jinyan Hou led out for a minimum bet of 10,000. Only Stephen Graner made the call.

On the turn, Hou continued betting. This time it was for 35,000. Graner stuck around again.

On the river cards, Hou now checked and Graner bet enough to cover Hou's stack. Hou called.

Graner showed J♦8♦7♣3♣ for a full house (bottom) and a flush (top), which beat Hou's A♥K♠Q♥2♠ on both boards and scooped the pot.

Level 18 : Blinds 0/0, 10,000 ante

2♣3♥K♣7♥10♠
4♣6♠9♥7♣7♦

Action was picked up as Sergiy Alariki and Jeffrey Herman were all in against Brian Smith.

Jeffrey Herman: A♠5♠6♥4♥ All in
Sergiy Alariki: K♥9♠6♦5♥ All in
Brian Smith: K♦K♠4♠3♦

Smith had top set on the top board and his overpair made kings-up on the bottom board, which held to scoop and eliminate Herman and Alariki.

A♣4♠7♥
5♦9♥Q♦

Antoine Sankari bet the pot for a total of 160,000 from under the gun and Matthew Tamura re-potted for 565,000. Sankari seemingly tanked while a player at the table pointed out there was a pay jump in 6 places. The clock was called on Sankari as the player at the table pointed out Sankari only had 3,000 behind and the timer was started. Sankari then flicked in the rest of his chips.

Antoine Sankari: 7♦5♠3♦2♠ All in
Matthew Tamura: A♥J♦4♦2♣

Q♠8♦
K♣A♦

Tamura scooped the pot with a jack-high flush on the bottom board and two pair, aces and fours on the top board. Sankari was eliminated.
