Queen-High Good for Sande

Connor Richards

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Calvin Anderson raised in the cutoff and Leonard Sande defended in the big blind.

Sande checked on the flop of 5♥6♥A♠ and Anderson continued for 4,000. Sande called. Sande checked again on the K♠ turn and Anderson checked back.

Both players checked again on the 3♣ turn and Sande announced queen-high, which was good as he showed Q♥J♥ to win the pot as Anderson mucked.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Shishir Gandhi opened up to 7,000 from early position and [Removed:548] three-bet the cutoff to 24,000. When it got back to Gandhi, he put in a four-bet to 55,000. [Removed:549] didn't need too long to think before he shoved for 233,000, which gave Gandhi a tough decision.

After confirming the count, Gandhi counted out his own stack and had a little over 320,000 in front of him. A few moments later, he announced a call.

[Removed:548]: A♥K♣ All in
Shishir Gandhi: Q♥Q♠

Gandhi had the edge with his pocket queens, but had to fade the dreaded overcards to in the pot, and if he did so, he would have heaps in front of him. [Removed:549] took a sip of coffee then watched the dealer put out a flop of 9♦4♦8♠, which wasn't great news for the Austrian player.

However, what was great news for [Removed:549] was seeing the A♠ land on the turn, which gave him top pair and left him one card away from a huge double-up. No drama arrived on the 5♦ river, and Gandhi was forced to cough up the chips and send them across the table.

Gary Thompson raised to 6,000 first to act and was called by Steven Kyler as well as Waheed Feda. On the 6♥4♥3♦ flop, Feda checked and Thompson continued for 7,000. Kyler raised to 16,000 and received two callers.

On the J♠ turn, they checked to Kyler and his bet of 25,000 won the pot.

Ryan Lashmar

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Daniel Negreanu opened to 6,000 from early position and Jean-Francois Alexandre called from the cutoff. Jason Wheeler three-bet to 21,000 from the button and Negreanu folded 9♣7♣. Alexandre four-bet shoved, slightly covering Wheeler who started the hand with 123,500. Wheeler snap-called and was at risk.

Jason Wheeler: K♠K♣ All in
Jean-Francois Alexandre: J♦J♣

Wheeler's kings held up on the 4♣9♥K♥3♦10♦ runout and he doubled up, leaving Alexandre with just over one big blind. Alexandre was eliminated shortly afterward.
