Ace-King No Good

Level 14 : 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

With the pot at over 100,000, the board read 7♣J♥5♥2♠ and Sean An bet out for 28,000 from the big blind. John Hardie called from early position, and the J♠ peeled off on the river.

Both players checked and An tabled A♣K♥, hoping his ace high was good, but unfortunately Hardie flipped 6♥6♦ to be sent the pot.

On the very next table with the flop showing 8♦3♦J♣ and the pot at 110,000, Chris Knight and Andrew Lavender both checked. Knight checked dark before the 6♦ came on the turn, and Lavender checked back. The same process happened when the 7♥ fell on the river. Lavender flipped AxKx and thought that they both had the same hand, but no such luck as Knight tabled Q♠Q♥ and was pushed the pot.

Poker Traveler: Building Momentum in the Right Direction

Joseph Berg

Level 14 : 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Dylan Hortin raised to 10,000 from middle position and was called by Andy Tsai in the small blind and Cedric Trevino in the big blind.

The dealer fanned a K♣5♠8♠ flop, and all three players checked.

The turn brought the 9♣. Action checked to Hortin, who bet 13,000. Tsai folded, and Trevino made the call.

Both players checked on the A♠ river. Trevino tabled 7♠8♣, and his pair of eights was good for the win. Known to some as the "Poker Traveler," Trevino is hoping to take a trip to the final table of Event #37—but only time will tell

Level 14 : 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Samuel Fournier raised from middle position to 11,000, and when action folded to Denis Simard in the big blind, he went all in for 52,000. Fournier made the call, and they were off to see five.

Denis Simard: 5♠5♦ All in
Samuel Fournier: Q♦10♦

The low board of 6♣3♣2♠J♦4♠ was good for Simard, giving him a straight and a double through Fournier.

No Spade on the River Sends Manns to the Rail, Tam More than Doubles

Myles Phago

Level 14 : 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Laksh Singh raised from late position to 10,000, and Kenneth Tam called from the cutoff. Donald Manns on the button then moved all in for his last 28,000. Singh and Tam both called.

The flop came Q♥6♠10♠ and Singh bet out for 22,000, which Tam called. The A♣ fell on the turn, and now Singh bet out 72,000, which was enough to put Tam all in. Tam called.

Donald Manns: K♠2♠ All in
Kenneth Tam: A♥10♥ All in
Laksh Singh: Q♠9♠

No spade on the river when the 9♣ fell and Tam's two pair held on to give him a full double up and more, and also send Manns to the rail.
