Eisen's Ace is Good

Kai Cocklin

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

With around 5,000 chips already in the middle on a flop of 5♠6♣10♥, Erik Eisen checked from the small blind and Mauricio Solano fired out 1,300 from the hijack. Eisen called.

An A♦ hit the turn and again Eisen went into check-call mode after Solano bet 3,300. When the K♥ landed on the river, both knuckled the table and Eisen flipped over A♣Q♦ for a pair of aces. Solano looked at the board and then back at his cards before he tossed them away, meaning Eisen scooped up the pot.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

On a completed board of A♣Q♦8♦K♠3♦, Marco Damico checked from under the gun, and Fernando Rodriguez followed suit in the hijack. Simeon Tsonev then fired 15,000 into the pot of 55,000 on the button.

Damico needed about a minute before he found a fold. "Oh, man," Rodriguez exclaimed, seemingly also facing a difficult decision. He quickly decided on a call, but he mucked his cards when Tsonev tabled 7♦5♦ for a flush.

Peter Priest bet 4,000 on a flop of 5♣4♥6♣ with a pot of around 20,000 from the big blind and got an all-in shove from his heads-up opponent in late position, Vyacheslav Stoyanov, for around 31,400. Priest made the call, taking them to showdown.

Vyacheslav Stoyanov: 6♥6♠ All in
Peter Priest: K♣K♠

Stoyanov cracked Priest's overpair with a set on the flop. Priest needed a miracle to turn things around, but his prayers remained answered with the runout J♣7♠.

Stoyanov scooped the pot for a double up.

Stewart Morrison

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Seeing a button raise to 1,600 ahead of him, Leandro Bianchini moved all in for 15,900 in the small blind. The big blind, Nicholas Ronyecz, then four-bet to 55,000, which saw the player on the button fold.

Leandro Bianchini: 2♠2♣ All in
Nicholas Ronyecz: A♦J♥

It was a solid start for Bianchini on the 8♦4♥2♥ flop, but the turn 10♥ gave Ronyecz hope with a flush draw.

The river was safe for Bianchini, though, coming the 6♠, giving him an early double.
