Anderson Shows Underwood the Better Ace

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Benjamin Underwood raised to 16,000 in early position and picked up calls from Francis Anderson in the cutoff and big blind Ichun Chiu.

Action checked to Anderson on the A56 flop and he bet 18,000. Only Underwood called to the 10 turn, where Anderson bet another 31,000. Underwood again called.

Underwood checked for a third time on the 5 river, and this time Anderson checked back and showed AQ. Underwood flashed ace-jack as he surrendered the pot.

Reichenstein considered the decision for several minutes. "Show if I fold?" he asked Lonis, who remained silent throughout the hand. Reichenstein eventually folded and Lonis took the pot without showing.

"Very weird hand," Reichenstein said.

"Guerrilla warfare," tablemate Paul Snead added.

Daniel Sepiol: All in 1010
Seunghyun Nam: AA

The board brought a lot of excitement as it ran out with 89J6Q, the river saved Sepiol with the straight.
