Everyone Wants Something Different

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

The flop showed 4♠2♥3♠, and the cards of three players were tabled when PokerNews joined the action. Two players were all-in.

Mario Hudson: J♠6♠All in
Jonathan Kramer: 5♥4♥All in
Jonas Christensen:10♥10♠

All three players were on to something different. Whilst Mario Hudson hoped for a spade to complete his flush, Jonathan Kramer liked to complete his straight or another four or five for two pair or trips. Jonas Christensen didn't want to see any of that and just wanted his pair of tens to hold.

The turn didn't change much as it showed the K♥. But the river brought the A♥, straight for Kramer, and he scooped a sizeable pot to continue his tournament journey whilst Hudson was sent packing.

Ahuja Scoops Pot With a Pair of Jacks

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

The pot stood at around 12,000, and the board showed K♣6♠5♠6♥, and both blinds checked to Robert Burlacu, who was sitting under the gun, and made it 3,000. Only Ankit Ahuja called whilst Weizheng Zhong folded.

The 2♥ came on the river, and both players checked. Leading to a showdown. Ahuja turned J♦J♠ for a pair of jacks, and that seemed enough for Burlacu, as his cards found quickly the muck.
