Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Action was picked up on the flop in a pot between Jonathan Jaffe on the button and Peter Bloch in the cutoff with 13,900 in the center.

The flop read A♣A♥7♣ and Bloch checked over to Jaffe who bet 4,000. Bloch raised to 16,000 and Jaffe continued in the hand.

On the turn 5♥, Bloch moved all in for 80,200 and Jaffe went into the tank.

"Are we chopping?" asked Bloch.

"It's kind of hard to chop this one," replied Jaffe as he thought about his decision.

Eventually he folded and flashed Bloch an A♦. Bloch responded in kind by showing an A♠ from his own hand as he raked in the pot.

Jerome Solomon

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Megan Collins took a major hit from Olivier Busquet, when the two had almost equal stacks, and she had A♦K♠ and he had A♥A♣.

The runout gave her a pair of kings but could not crack his aces and she was left with only 1,000 chips.

A few hands later, Olivier Busquet raised from middle position and Collins went all in from the cutoff.

Megan Collins: K♥10♦ All in
Olivier Busquet: A♠9♠

The hand ended on the turn, as the runout 10♠3♥2♠6♠J♦ gave Busquet a flush and the win.
