Esposito Cracks Kings

Jacob Wilson
Jacob Wilson
Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Action was picked up on the turn, with the board reading Q♦5♦4♣3♣. Play was heads-up, and John Esposito was the player on the left of the button. He bet out for 147,000 into a pot of 160,000, putting David Simon into the tank. After a couple of moments, he shoved, and Esposito couldn't have gotten his chips in any quicker.

John Esposito: Q♠3♠ All in
David Simon: K♣K♠

Simon called for a five, but 9♥ left his kings cracked, and the huge pot went over to Esposito.

David Baker and Lawrence Greenberg got it all in preflop, and Greenberg was left needing to catch up.

Lawrence Greenberg: A♦5♥ All in
David Baker: A♠10♦

The runout was overkill: Baker was only looking to dodge a five, but backed into the nuts on 6♠4♦J♦Q♣K♥ sending Greeberg packing.

Huge Sweat for Gelman

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Michael Lin opened the betting in middle position, before Herbert Gelman popped in a three-bet to 115000. When action got back round to Lin, he ripped in his stack of 430,000. Gelman had 480,000 behind, and covered, however was put into quite the spot. After taking his time and weighing up his options, Gelman made the call.

Michael Lin: A♣K♠ All in
Herbert Gelman: A♠K♥

"No flushes," agreed the two players, as both were happy to take a chop. The K♣K♦J♣ flop seemed relatively safe, as both players hit trips, but the 4♣ turn gave Lin a flush draw, and he was freerolling Gelman. "One time!" shouted Lin, but the 9♥ river had the dealer splitting the pot. "Did you just use your one time?" asked Gelman, concerned that Lin had taken back their preflop agreement.
