Kings Might be King's Favorite Hand

Joseph Berg

Level 23 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Jesse King was all in and at risk from the big blind for 475,000 and was up against Sam Sonego in middle position.

Jesse King: K♥K♣ All in
Sam Sonego: Q♥Q♦

The dealer ran out a board of 9♠8♣2♦9♥4♣. If Pocket Kings weren't at the top of King's favorite hands list before, it might be now as he secured a timely double-up to begin day 2.

Player	Chips	Progress
Jesse King	1,075,000 550,000	550,000
Sam Sonego	900,000 345,000	345,000

Level 23 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Aaron Van Blarcum went all in and was at risk for 625,000 from under the gun. Gurdeep Parhar then went all in for 750,000 from middle position. The rest of the table folded, and the players were off to the races.

Aaron Van Blarcum: J♦J♣ All in
Gurdeep Parhar: A♣Q♣

The dealer ran out a board of 8♠5♠K♦3♣6♠, adding a much-needed boost to Van Blarcum's stack.

Player	Chips	Progress
Aaron Van Blarcum	1,375,000 815,000	815,000

Double Up for Baubault

Myles Phago

Level 24 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Boyuan Han raised from under the gun to 100,000 only for Corey Baubault to three-bet all in for his remaining 415,000.

Action folded back to Han who asked for the count and then called.

Corey Baubault: A♥K♠ All in
Boyuan Han: A♣J♥

Not a pretty flop for Baubault of J♣4♠4♣ but when the K♣ peeled off on the turn, he felt happier and when the 10♦ completed the board he was pushed the pot for a full double up.

Player	Chips	Progress
Corey Baubault	940,000 615,000	615,000
Boyuan Han	160,000 390,000	390,000

Joseph Berg

Level 24 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Henry Goblirsch raised to 150,000 from the cutoff and was called by Lisa Roberts in the big blind.

The dealer fanned a 6♣A♣9♥ flop, Roberts checked, Goblirsch bet 155,000, and Roberts called.

The turn card was the 6♦. Once again, Roberts checked, this time Goblirsch bet 265,000, which prompted Roberts to toss her cards in the muck.

Player	Chips	Progress
Henry Goblirsch	1,350,000 530,000	530,000
Lisa Roberts	875,000 670,000	670,000

King-High Good for Acker

Myles Phago

Level 24 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Action was folded around to Timothy Acker in the small blind, who raised to 175,000. David Jackson in the big blind called, and the players saw the flop of 3♦7♦3♠.

Acker bet out for 60,000, and Jackson called. Both players checked the 9♣ turn and saw the A♠ peel off on the river.

Acker checked and Jackson bet out for 220,000, which sent Acker into the tank for a short while before he called tabling K♣2♠ for king high, which crushed Jackson's 5♣4♥ for total air.

Player	Chips	Progress
Timothy Acker	1,600,000 435,000	435,000
David Jackson	1,300,000 590,000	590,000
