Pan Bets Into Aces

Frank Visser

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

Sachin Ramrakhani raised in the small blind, and Qinghai Pan called in the big blind. Pan called the 3,000 Ramrakhani wagered on the 6♦6♣5♣ flop.

Ramrakhani slowed down on the 4♦ turn and checked, after which Pan bet 10,000. Ramrakhani called to the 3♥ river, where he check-called another bet of the same value.

Pan was reluctant to table his hand, so Ramrakhani showed A♠A♦ to take down the pot.

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

Action started with a raise to 3,000 from the player under the gun before folding to Jose Nadal in the hijack, who made the call. Matthew Barnett then squeezed it up to 13,000 from the cutoff. The initial raiser folded, but Nadal made the call.

The dealer spread a flop of 5♣9♠3♣, and Nadal check-called a bet of 11,000.

Both players then checked the 8♠ turn, which gave Nadal the green light to take over the betting lead on the 8♥ river. He put in a bet of 16,500, which gave Barnett some thinking to do.

Roughly a minute passed before Barnett decided just to return his cards to the dealer.

Laura Fryer

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

Taylor Mcclain moved all in for her remaining 11,500 chips from middle position and got a call from Raul Lozano in the small blind.

Taylor Mcclain: A♥6♥ All in
Raul Lozano: A♣A♠

The J♣A♦3♥ flop saw both improve, but Lozano remained ahead, having flopped a set of aces.

There was a small glimmer of hope with the heart on the flop, but no more came to save Mcclain on the 7♣ turn and 9♦ river, sending her to the rail.

Cherish Andrews raised to 3,000 from middle position and in the cutoff, Robert Kuhn three-bet to 9,000 to see only Andrews call.

The flop rolled out J♠10♣3♠ and Andrews checked over to Kuhn who bet 8,000, prompting Andrews to raise to 20,000. Kuhn responded by moving all in for 59,000 and Andrews called.

Robert Kuhn: K♥J♦ All in
Cherish Andrews: 10♠8♠

Andrews hit her second card on the 8♥ turn to improve to two pair, then further improved to a flush on the 7♠ river and Kuhn was eliminated from the tournament.

Brett Slezak

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

Rania Nasreddine opened to 3,000 from middle position and was called by Robert Shoemaker in the cutoff and Stephen Decker in the big blind.

On the A♥7♣2♣ flop, Decker checked to Nasreddine who continued for 4,500 and was called by both Shoemaker and Decker.

Decker checked once more on the 3♥ turn as Nasreddine sized up to 12,000. Shoemaker quickly moved all in for 42,000, Decker folded, and Nasreddine snap called.

Robert Shoemaker: A♠7♠ All in
Rania Nasreddine: A♣10♥

Shoemaker flopped top two and Nasreddine also paired her ace, but she had just three outs to eliminate Shoemaker. Luckily for him, the river was the 9♥ and he held on to secure the full double at the expense of Nasreddine.

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

Timothy Joyner check-raised to 6,000 from the small blind after Micah Raskin in the cutoff bet 3,000 on a flop of J♠2♣9♣ and a pot of around 15,000. Raskin called to see the turn.

The dealer peeled 3♥ and Joyner bet 120,000 which covered Raskin, who only had 15,000 behind. Raskin made the call putting himself at risk.

Micah Raskin: J♣4♣ All in
Timothy Joyner: K♣K♦

Raskin had top pair with a flush draw, but it couldn't beat Joyner's pocket kings. To Joyner's surprise and dismay, the river J♦ fell giving Raskin trips.

The dealer pushed the pot to Raskin while Joyner kept quiet looking frustrated.

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

Carmen Raiche-Marsden, who entered the dinner break as chipleader of the Red section, raised to 3,000 in middle position. It folded to Raj Vohra in the big blind, who defended.

The flop fell 3♣8♠K♣. Vohra checked before he called the 3,000 Raiche-Marsden put in the middle. Raiche-Marsden sized up to 11,000 on the 5♣ turn, again seeing her opponent check-call.

Vohra checked for a third time on the K♠ river, and Raiche-Marsden checked back. Vohra tabled 8♦6♥ for kings and eights, but Raiche-Marsden had Q♥Q♦ for kings and queens to take the pot.

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

After a preflop raising war between Ben Warrington and Kyle Grupp, all of Warrington's 260,000 or so chips got into the middle with Grupp making the call to try and eliminate him.

Ben Warrington: KxKx All in
Kyle Grupp: A♦A♣

Warrington was on the wrong side of a classic preflop cooler and needed to find a king to double-up. The 4♥10♥J♣ flop was safe for Grupp's bullets. The rest of the board came 7♦Q♥, and Grupp won the pot of over half a million, while Warrington was out.

Preflop Action, Anticlimactic Conclusion

Stewart Morrison

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

An action-packed preflop kicked off with a raise to 3,000 from the under-the-gun player. Christopher Bell made the call from the cutoff, and the small blind came along too. Adrian Thorne, in the big blind, then three-bet to 23,000.

The under-the-gun player then took a moment to consider his options before folding, but Bell took the opposite route. With action back on him, he moved all in for 105,500. The small blind promptly folded, returning the action to Thorne.

Thorne went into the tank. Confirming the stack size of Bell, before beginning to formulate what he wanted to do. After two or so minutes, he made the call.

It was an anticlimactic end to the hand, as both players flipped over ace-king offsuit. There was no bad beat to be had, and the players chopped the pot.
