Wolfson Gets Paid with Nines on the River

Sava Krink

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Ryan Wolfson kicked off the action with a raise to 25,000 from middle position and found a caller in Yilong Wang in the cutoff.

On the 6♠4♦J♦ flop Wolfson check-called the 26,000 bet of Wang.

Both players checked the 6♥ turn.

On the 8♦ river, Wolfson took the lead again and fired another bet of 30,000 which Wang called after some hesitation. Wolfson showed 9♦9♠ for two pair nines and sixes, which seemed enough for Wang as his cards found the muck.

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Romain Lewis opened the action with a raise to 20,000 from under the gun, and Michael Rossitto responded with a three-bet to 48,000 from middle position. Sitting just behind, Hugo Nazar moved all in for around 34,000.

The action folded back to Lewis, who took a moment before shoving over the top. Rossitto quickly got out of the way, leading to a showdown.

Hugo Nazar: Q♣Q♥ All in
Romain Lewis: K♦K♥

Nazar needed some help to stay alive, but the board ran out A♠9♣J♦8♠7♥, offering none. His queens couldn’t catch up, and he was sent to the rail as Lewis collected the pot.

Ice Cold Deck Table 512

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

A deck of cards can sometimes be your friend or your enemy. Usually, when you're dealt Aces against Kings, good things happen, but sometimes, the deck has its own ideas. Such was the case when Johan Guilbert raised to 20,000 from middle position. Jamey McKay then three-bet to 45,000, prompting an all-in from Guilbert and a snap call from McKay. The players tabled the two best starting hands in poker.

Johan Guilbert: A♠A♥ All in
Jamey McKay: K♠K♥

Things were looking good for Guilbert until he saw the dealer spread a K♦9♣Q♥ flop. The turn 9♠ and river 8♣ did not help Guilbert as he was eliminated from Event #29 brutally.
