Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

The action was picked up on the flop of 6♠5♠10♣, and Hung Truong was all in from early position for 120,000 into a pot of about 75,000, and Robert Aleksivich made the call from the button. Truong was on the flush draw, while Aleksivich was on the ace draw.

Hung Truong: A♠9♠ All in
Robert Aleksivich: A♦A♣

The turn K♣ and the river 2♥ did not bring any help to either player, but the best hand still prevailed with Aleksivich's pair of aces.

Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Tony Gamueda raised to 20,000 from early position, and Jonathan Tolzin three-bet to 60,000 from the button. Gamueda made the call to see the flop of A♠2♦10♠. Tolzin moved all of his chips in the pot for 40,000 and Gamueda called.

Tony Gamueda: A♥J♥

The turn 8♥ and the river K♠ did nothing to improve Tolzin's queens and Gamueda won with his pair of aces.
