Proctor Doubles Through Fan

Kai Cocklin

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

On a board of 8♦Q♥9♠A♥A♦, the chips went flying into the middle in a pot between Nathan Proctor and Ben Fan.

It was no surprise to see why as Fan showed a full house with 9♥9♦, but Proctor's boat was bigger as he had the nuts with A♣Q♣ to secure the full double-up to around 135,000.

Stewart Morrison

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

Pedro Garagnani raised under the gun to 3,500, and only Gregory Defeo called on the button.

The dealer spread out a 8♠5♣K♥ flop, Garagnani continued for 4,000, and Defeo called.

Both players checked the 5♠ turn and the 5♥ river, which surprised some of the players at the table when they saw the players' cards.

Garagnani tabled K♦K♣ for the top full house and was hoping his opponent would bet the river. Defeo showed he had 9♥9♣, and to rub salt into the wound, told his tablemate that he would have called at least one more bet.

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

Johan Schumacher opened the button and Jinwei Shao three-bet to 10,000 in the big blind. Schumacher four-bet to 25,500 and Shao called.

The 8♦6♥J♦ flop saw Shao check, and Schumacher bet 11,000. Shao took some time before calling.

The K♥ was turned and Shao checked. Schumacher bet 40,000 and Shao moved all in covering Schumacher.

Schumacher made the call for his remaining 105,000 and the players flipped their hands.

Johan Schumacher: A♦K♦ All in
Jinwei Shao: A♥A♣

Shao was ahead, but Schumacher had some outs with the flush.

The Q♦ brought it in for Schumacher and he secured the double up, leaving Shao short.

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

Scott Stewart bet 6,000 from under the gun on a flop of 9♠4♦3♣ and Vanessa Selbst called in the hijack, as did Seunghyun Nam in the big blind.

Stewart bet another 23,000 on the 4♠ turn and only Selbst called this time. The river was the 5♥ and Stewart bet 55,000.

Selbst then moved all in and Stewart, with around 25,000 remaining, tossed Q♣Q♦ into the middle of the cards.

"Is that a call or a fold?" Selbst asked.

"Fold," Stewart replied.

"What?" an amazed Selbst added as she took the pot. "You have to think I'm never bluffing. And you're right."

Myles Phago

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

Daniel Negreanu raised from under the gun to 3,000 and got calls from all around the table. Amit Zulkowitz in early position, Troy Wallace in middle position, Gilad Rubinsky in late position, and Tabatha Hilliard in the big blind.

The flop came J♦K♦Q♦ and Negreanu checked. Zulkowitz bet 5,000, and Wallace called, as did Negreanu. The turn came the 9♦ and it was checked to Wallace who bet out for 5,000, and both Negreanu and Zulkowitz called.

All players checked the 5♠ that came on the river, and Negreanu tabled A♦A♣ for the second nuts. Zulkowitz had QxKx for two pair but was way behind in third as Wallace flipped over 8♦6♦ for the flopped flush.

Negreanu was quick to get the camera out to let his followers know the action and that he couldn't even bet the second nuts but still happy with scooping up some chips to as he said to his followers, “Get back in the game.”
