Chen Aces Up

Sava Krink

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Xingwei Chen opened from under the gun, and action folded to Qiang Wang on the button, who made it 80,000. Chen didn't hesitate and shoved it all in, putting Wang at risk. He made the call, and the cards went on their backs.

Qiang Wang: 8♠8♦ All in
Xingwei Chen: A♠A♣

Wang needed some help from the board, and the flop and turn gave him a few more outs for a possible straight draw with 5♥6♠J♠7♦. But the river brought the A♥, giving Chen a set and eliminating Wang.

Richard Buckingham opened to 25,000 and got two callers in Douglas Hobold on the button, and Ryan Biermann in the big blind.

The trio saw a flop of K♥Q♥8♣. Biermann checked prompting Buckingham to continue with 45,000. Hobold called but Bierman decided he'd seen enough and folded.

The turn J♣ fell and Buckingham kept up the pressure with a 60,000, which Hobold called once again.

Not letting up, Buckingham fired 125,000, finally shaking Hobold off the pot.

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Harsukhpaul Sangha just got moved to a new table and didn't take long to wager his entire stack of 113,000.

"You just got here," Justin Belforti said before looking at his cards.

"I don't know how you play so I'm just playing the value of my cards," Sangha replied.

Belforti just called and the rest of the table folded as the two hands were tabled.

Harsukhpaul Sangha: 8♠8♥ All in
Justin Belforti: A♠Q♠

The flop came K♣6♠3♣ and Sangha maintained his lead with a pair of eights. The 4♠ on the turn gave Belforti a flush draw and that flush came in on the 5♠ river to eliminate Sangha as quickly as he arrived.
