One Pair, No Kicker

Adam Lamers

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Kevin Gerhart raised to 3,000 in the hijack and Alex Lynskey defended from the big blind. The flop came Q♠J♠4♣ and Lynskey check-called a bet of 3,000 from Gerhart.

The K♦ landed on the turn and Lynskey checked again. Gerhart tossed in a bet of 8,500 and Lynskey hesitated before making the call. The 8♠ hit the river and both players knuckled the table. Lynskey whipped over Q♦2♠ for a pair of queens and Gerhart sent his cards into the muck.

Gilad Rubinsky limped from early position, and Tabatha Hilliard raised to 3,000 from middle position. Action folded to Andreas Berggren, who called as did Rubinsky.

The flop came A♥5♥8♥, and Berggren checked to Rubinsky, who bet out for 23,000, Hilliard called, and Berggren folded.

The turn brought the 7♣, and Rubinsky continued the aggression by betting out for 47,000. Hilliard called. The river saw the K♣ peel off, and Rubinsky bet out for 82,000, and Hilliard snap-called.

"Flush" announced Rubinsky and tabled 10♥9♥. "Nice hand" came the reply from Hilliard as she flashed her A♠K♠ before dumping into the muck as Rubinsky started stacking up the monster pot that sent him over 600,000 in chips.
