Mei Dunks on Alcindor

Jerome Solomon
Jerome Solomon
Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

The hand was joined with Michael Christ already all in and the board to the turn reading J♠10♣3♠J♣.

Christopher Alcindor checked from middle position sending to action to Yinjie Mei, immediately to his left. Mei bet 200,000 into a side pot that already had more than 300,000 in it.

Alcindor studied for some time before making the call.

The river brought the 5♣ and another check from Alcindor. Mei fired a bet of 475,000 chips.

Alcindor, who had 560,000 left, went even deeper into the tank, considering his options. He eventually folded.

Michael Christ: A♣A♥10♥4♣All in
Yinjie Mei: K♠K♥J♥7♣2♠

Christ tripled up to win the main pot, thanks to an ace-high flush.

Mei claimed the much bigger side pot with trip jacks, much to the lament of Alcindor, who groaned after the cards were tabled.

Wu Runs Into Nut-Nut

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Action was picked up on a flop of K♣7♠J♣ with both big blind Hung-Hsiang Wu and middle position opener Mark Scacewater all in, with Wu the covering stack.

Mark Scacewater: A♣Q♣Q♦10♣4♦ All in
Hung-Hsiang Wu: K♦J♥8♠3♠2♥

Scacewater found the perfect runout, as the turn 3♣ gave him the nut flush, and counterfeited his opponent's superior low draw. The 2♦ river was the icing on the cake, as he announced "nut-nut" to double his 355,000 stack.

Liebeskind Likes the River

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Jake Liebeskind raised to 50,000 from middle position. Brandon Bowers raised to 165,000 on the button. Liebeskind made the call.

The flop hit 9♥6♦Q♥.

Liebeskind checked, Bowers moved all in with his last 100,000. Liebeskind called.

Brandon Bowers: A♥A♣8♦5♠3♥All in
Jake Liebeskind: A♦K♣K♠Q♣J♦

Liebeskind was ahead with a pair of aces to Bowers' pair of kings. The turn of the 5♦ opened up low and gutshot straight draws for Liebeskind and a nut-flush draw for Bowers.

The 7♣ river sealed the scoop for Liebeskind, hitting both of his draws.

"My father Paul will like that one," Liebeskind said.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

On the last hand before the dinner break, Joshua Cummings called 20,000 from under the gun.

Lawrence Wayne called as well before Bruno Furth raised to 65,000.

The action folded back to Cummings, who let his hand go. Wayne moved all in with his 115,000-chip stack. Furth called.

Lawrence Wayne: A♥J♠9♠9♣2♥All in
Bruno Furth: A♠9♥6♣4♥3♣

Wayne was excited to see the hands, but the runout of the board 5♦3♦7♣3♥7♥ lead to a split pot. On the flop, Wayne hit the nut-low and Furth found a straight, and both held up.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Volodymyr Kondratenko pot-raised to 70,000 from under the gun. Thang Tran raised all-in for his 195,000 chips from middle position.

Kondratenko made the call.

Thang Tran: A♥Q♠10♥3♣2♦All in
Volodymyr Kondratenko: A♦K♦9♥8♥5♥

In the runout 8♣10♠5♣2♠7♦, Tran turned the nut-low and finished with tens and deuces for the high, which was better than Kondratenko's two pair 9eights and fives).

Estes Check-Raises

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Michael Estes opened the action from the cutoff, with a raise to 50,000. Thomas Koral announced "pot," on the button, which totalled a bet of 180,000. Estes called, and the two went off to a flop of K♦9♦6♣.

Estes checked in flow, and Koral slid 140,000 forward. Estes took his time, before asking how much a pot sized bet would be. He then counted out a bet of 420,000, and slid it forward for a check-raise. Koral thought for a brief period, before releasing his cards to the dealer.
