Hansen Doubles Before Dinner

Tim Baker

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Limits: 6,000-28,000

On the turn of a board showing J♥9♠Q♣6♥, Gus Hansen bet from the big blind and Chad Eveslage raised to put Hansen all in for his 101,000. Hansen happily called.

Gus Hansen: K♥K♠Q♠10♠ All in
Chad Eveslage: A♠Q♦J♣8♣

Hansen had the nuts with a straight, and Eveslage needed a queen or jack on the river to bust him. The river came a blank and Hansen doubled up.

Limits: 6,000-28,000

Catching the action on a flop of K♠Q♦J♠ with Veerachai Vongxaiburana committing his final 25,000 into the pot and Qiang Xu making the call to try and bust him.

Veerachai Vongxaiburana: A♠10♠5♥2♠ All in
Qiang Xu: A♦K♦J♥J♣

Vongxaiburana was ahead with a Broadway straight and just had to fade the board pairing to double-up. The 9♦ turn and 7♣ river were safe for Vongxaiburana, and he doubled through Xu.

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Limits: 6,000-28,000

Yevgeniy Timoshenko made it 16,000 from the hijack and only Jonathan Greene called from the button.

Both players checked the 2♣5♥4♦ flop to see the K♠ appear on the turn. Timoshenko bet 23,000, which Greene called.

The river came the 2♦ and Timoshenko fired out a bet of 95,000. Greene instantly called.

Timoshenko turned over A♠4♠4♣3♥ for a boat to win the high. Green showed A♥Q♣3♣2♠ for trip deuces, but with the same low, meaning Timoshenko got three-quarters of the pot.

Kessler Doubles Through Owen to Leave Him on Fumes

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Limits: 6,000-28,000

Brad Owen limped the hijack, Luis Velador made it 15,000 in the cutoff, and Allen Kessler three-bet to 40,000 on the button. Owen then jammed for 142,000, Velador painfully folded, and Kessler called all-in for 135,000.

Allen Kessler: A♠A♦K♣2♦ All in
Brad Owen: K♠K♦Q♠J♣

"Allen three-bet, what do you think he had?" joked tablemate Shaun Deeb as the hands were tabled.

Owen was in rough shape with no low potential and the dominated pair. He found no help on the 9♣7♠2♥2♣7♣ runout as Kessler improved to trip twos for the double as Owen was left on crumbs.

Deeb kept on going, "Don't you love these new mixed game players, Allen? They don't know your tendencies."

Limits: 6,000-28,000

Shaun Deeb raised to 12,000 from early position with Andres Korn calling from the cutoff, and Brad Owen calling from the button.

The action checked to Owen on the K♦K♥K♣ flop and he placed out a min-bet of 6,000. Deeb check-raised to 26,000, forcing Korn to fold. Owen called.

Deeb continued with a bet of 45,000 when the 6♥ dropped on the turn. This was enough to get Owen to fold, and Deeb pulled in the pot.
