Truong Eliminated by the Aces of Aleksivich

Roxanne Johnson

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.

River Rat

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

Four players limped the pot: Michael Young in middle position, Eric Uhl in late position, Yucel Eminoglu in the cutoff and Julius Roque on the button. The big blind, Ronald Slucker, decided to check his option.

They saw a flop of 7♥J♣K♦. When action checked to him, Uhl bet 10,000, pushing everyone out of the pot except Young, who called. The turn 6♦ fell, and Uhl bet another 20,000 after another check. Young stayed on again.

Both players checked the 7♦ river. Young showed K♠3♠ evoking Uhl to call him, "River Rat!" as he turned over K♣10♦ for a split pot.
