Roxanne Johnson

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

Joey Weissman raised from the button to 50,000, and Srivinay Irrinki was the lone caller from the small blind. The dealer flopped 6♣7♣J♥, and both players checked.

On the turn 5♣, Irrinki checked, and Weissman put out 40,000 for a delayed continuation bet. Irrinki flat called.

The river 10♥ brought another check from Irrinki, who then called when Weissman bet 150,000.

Weissman showed K♣9♦ and Irrinki scored the flush with 10♣9♣ for the win.

Jaka thought about it for some time before making the call.

Action went three-ways to a flop of 10♦6♠2♣ in a hand between Adam Owen in early position, John Ypma in the cutoff, and James MacMillan in the big blind.

It checked to Ypma, who bet 55,000, and only MacMillan called to see the 3♦ turn. MacMillan check-raised to 280,000 over Ypma's bet of 125,000 and Ypma tossed his cards into the muck.

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

A table returned from dinner to a trio of rapid fire all-ins on the second hand after the break.

Corey Hudson was first to fire, moving all in from middle position with 240,000 chips. Antonios Poziadis, seated next to him, quickly shoved a stack forward announcing all in as well, for 890,000.

Pyeongkang Kim barely gave Poziadis time to pull his hand back before he plunked down a stack with the same announcement.

The rest of the table folded.

Corey Hudson: Q♥Q♠ All in
Antonios Poziadis: A♠K♠ All in
Pyeongkang Kim: K♣K♦

Kim had the better of the monster hands preflop with his kings. The runout brought a little excitement with Poziadis picking up a flush draw on the flop, but when the full board 10♦3♠4♠10♥8♦ was finally on the table, Kim had a nice haul and a double knockout.
