Hani Mio Stacks Quan Zhou

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

With about 50,000 chips already in the middle and the board reading {8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}, The Nguyen bet 40,000 from the small blind, Quan Zhou raised to 208,000 from the big blind, Hani Mio called from under the gun, and Nguyen folded.

The turn brought the {K-Clubs}, Zhou shoved, and Mio quickly called to put him at risk.

Zhou: {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{9-Spades}{5-Diamonds}
Mio: {9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{5-Spades}

Zhou had the advantage with top pair and the nut-flush draw, but Mio had a wrap and was also open-ended for the straight flush. The {10-Hearts} river made a ten-high straight for Mio to take the pot and send Zhou to the cage.

Aces against Aces Doesn't End Well for Ngeth

Johnny Lodden
Johnny Lodden

With about 110,000 already in the middle and the board reading {Q-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{5-Spades}, Jason DeWitt bet 55,000 from the big blind and Johnny Lodden, who was under the gun, shoved for a total of 224,000. DeWitt went into the tank for around a minute before he ultimately called and the two players tabled their hands.

DeWitt: {A-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{4-Hearts}
Lodden: {Q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}

DeWitt had an open-ended straight draw and pair of sixes but Lodden had the best of it with two pair, queens and fives. The {Q-Clubs} on the turn gave Lodden a boat, leaving DeWitt in terrible shape, the {4-Spades} river changed nothing and Lodden took the pot to double up.
