Level 13 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Michael Duek has a big stack, and has been wielding it over on Table #648. In this hand, he raised to 28,000. Noah Schwartz was his only customer, as he called next to act.

The flop came out J♦10♠4♥ and both players checked. On the Q♦ turn, Duek checked again and Schwartz bet 30,000. Duek called.

The river was the 6♣ and when Duek checked, Schwartz bet 75,000. Duek didn't think too long before making the call. Schwartz showed the A♥A♣K♥2♠ for the nut straight, and he won the pot.

Talal Shakerchi limped in from under the gun and Jordan Spurlin raised to 36,000 on his left. The action folded back to Shakerchi who called to see a flop of A♣8♦2♣.

Shakerchi check-called a bet of 35,000 from Spurlin and the J♠ rolled off on the turn. Shakerchi checked again and Spurling bet the pot of 162,000. Shakerchi check-raised all in and Spurlin called off an additional 60,000 chips in front of him.

Jordan Spurlin: A♦K♠J♥10♦ All in
Talal Shakerchi: 8♠8♥5♣5♦

Shakerchi flopped a set of eights but Spurlin still had a fighting chance with two pair. The river bricked out and Shakerchi's set of eights was enough to eliminate Spurlin.
