Miki's Fine; Blows Keating's Mind

Level 11 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Yosuke Miki was all-in preflop in a hand including Nikolai Mamut and Thomas Muehloecker.

Both players checked the A75 flop, and Mamut checked the 2 turn. Muehloecker bet 75,000, and Mamut used a time bank before check-raising all in. Muehloecker folded.

Mamut tabled 75 confidently, having flopped two pair, but Miki had turned a set with 22.

"That's crazy," said tablemate Keating. "Did you look?"

The river was the J and Miki doubled up.

A Flurry of Bust Outs

Keating Goes Runner Runner

Level 11 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Jon Vallinas raised to 50,000 in middle position, and was met with two all-ins. First, Alan Keating moved his 240,000 across the betting line on the button before Dejan Kaladjurdjevic committed his remaining 50,000 from the small blind. The action returned to Vallinas, who called.

Dejan Kaladjurdjevic: A3 All in
Alan Keating: AK All in
Jon Vallinas: 1010

Vallinas had both his opponents drawing extremely thin on the 4108 flop, but while the 9 turn and 7 river confirmed Kaladjurdjevic's elimination, Keating had found running flush cards to scoop the pot.
