A Time to Double

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Jonah Labranche was all-in and at risk from the small blind and up against Ryan Laplante, who sat under the gun.

Jonah Labranche: AAAll in
Ryan Laplante: 1010

Both had pocket pairs, but Laplante didn't improve on the 87J22 runout, and Labranche secured the double with aces.

A few tables across, Bruno Mota had just doubled up in the big blind against James Jeffrey on the button after Mota was all-in for his remaining 50,000 with pocket threes.

Bruno Mota: 33All in
James Jeffrey: KQ

The 10102 flop gave Mota two pair and not much of a sweat. The 10 turn gave Mota a boat, and the 5 river secured him the double.

Davila Raises the River; Zektser Pays It Off

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

Heads up to a flop of QJ8 saw Igor Zektser check and Jacobo Davila followed suit.

The J came on the turn and both players checked again.

Zekster bet 4,000 when the 2 completed and he soon faced a raise to 15,000 from Davila.

It appeared Zekster was counting combinations of hands his opponents could have and eventually he flicked in the call.

Davila tabled A3 for the nut flush and Zekster mucked his hand, nodding as if that hand was indeed on his mental list.
