David Cabrera Polop opened for 80,000 under the gun and got a three-bet from David Pham to 300,000. Polop shoved all-in for and got called by Pham taking them to showdown.

David Pham: K♣Q♥ All in
David Cabrera Polop: 10♦10♣

The flop came A♥Q♣K♦ cracking Polop's tens and giving Pham a two pair. The runout 2♦8♠ didn't change anything boosting Pham's stack with a double right before the break

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

The Simpsons is widely regarded as one of the most successful and beloved television shows of all time. But actress and high-stakes poker player Jennifer Tilly, who was married to Simpsons co-creator Sam Simon, tried to stop her ex-husband from making the iconic show.

Tilly, the star of the Chucky franchise and a recent guest on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, revealed her skepticism about Simon pursuing the cartoon in a new episode of the PokerNews Life Outside Poker podcast.

"I remember us trying to keep Sam from doing it because he had been offered his own deal, multi-million-dollar deal, at Hollywood Pictures, which was at the time very trendy," Tilly told PokerNews. "And I said, 'Sam, don't you want to be your own person and do your own shows?'"

Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

David Pham opened for 120,000 and got a three-bet to from the man on his left, Andrew Murphy. Lester Edoc shoved all-in for 555,000. With action back to him, Pham folded. Murphy, however, made the call taking them to showdown.

Lester Edoc: J♥J♣ All in
Andrew Murphy: A♥K♥

Edoc's jacks held on the flop 7♥9♥3♣. Murphy, however, had additional outs with a flush draw. But the 7♠ turn and 6♦ river didn't help him. Edoc scooped the pot to score a double.

Ciccarelli Improves Position With All-ins

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Jerome Solomon

Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

John Ciccarelli made all-in bets in three consecutive hands, but didn't get a dance partner with either. But in the process he moved from short stack at the table to over 20 big blinds.

The first two all-in shoves were preflop. The last came in a hand that was three ways to the flop on a check-raise.
