Skogrand and Luis Pick Up Aces

Kai Cocklin

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Corey Skogrand raised with A♦A♣ to 60,000 from under the gun and Santiago Montes called in the small blind with J♣10♣.

On a flop of 2♠4♦4♠, Montes check-folded to Skogrand's bet of 90,000.

In the very next hand, Damien Luis took his turn to pick up aces as he looked down at A♥A♦ in early position, but didn't get any action as everybody else folded after he opened.

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Isaac Haxton was in middle position and raised to 60,000. It folded to Stephen Chidwick on the button, who jammed in his stack of 375,000. Small blind Jeremy Kottler thought for some time before he committed his stack of 335,000, and Haxton snap-called to put both players at risk.

Jeremy Kottler: A♥J♥ All in
Stephen Chidwick: 5♥5♦ All in
Isaac Haxton: K♦K♣

Haxton flopped top set on 3♥K♠6♥, but Kottler's flush draw completed on the 9♥ turn to take the lead. The 6♦ river paired the board, turning Haxton's set into a full house.

Chidwick and Kottler packed their bags as Haxton shipped the pot, chipping up to over 125 big blinds.

Adam Lamers

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Michael Linton moved all in for his last 85,000 in the cutoff and Yuto Misaka reraised to 170,000 in the small blind. Adam Hendrix called from the big blind which created a side pot between the two blinds.

The flop came J♠4♠3♠ and Misaka continued with a bet of 80,000. Hendrix called and the 7♠ landed on the turn. Both players checked and the A♦ hit the river. Two more checks and Misaka turned over K♣J♣ which was better than the Q♣J♦ of Hendrix for the side pot. However, Linton tabled A♠3♥ for a flush to take the main pot.

Thomas Boivin raised to 60,000 in middle position with A♠8♠. One seat over, Stephen Hesse three-bet to 185,000, holding K♠K♣, which Boivin reraised to 490,000. After a minute of thought, Hesse called to the J♠6♥10♥ flop.

After Boivin bet 350,000, Hesse moved all in. Boivin quickly folded his ace-high, seeing the large pot shipped to Hesse without showdown.

Kai Cocklin

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Chris Viox raised A♠7♦ to 60,000 from the hijack and Dmitrii Perfilev called holding Q♦10♦ on the button.

On the 5♦2♦6♠ flop, Viox check-called a bet of 75,000 from Perfilev to the 6♦ turn, where Viox checked again. Perfilev then bet 215,000, and Viox called.

A K♦ on the river saw Viox complete his smaller flush, and he checked it over. Perfilev then shoved, which put Viox to the test for his last 385,000. Viox sat back, cracked his knuckles, rechecked his cards, and then called.

"Nice hand," said Viox when he saw the bigger flush of Perfilev, then he made his way to the exit.
