Haixia Zhang
Haixia Zhang

On a board reading {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} with about 50,000 in the pot already, Till Kollender led out for 25,000 from the big blind, and Haixia Zhang moved all in for about 30,000 from the hijack. Kollender called.

Zhang tabled {k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for a king-high flush, and Kollender showed {j-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for a jack-high flush. Zhang doubled up on the right side of a cooler to take her stack to six figures.

Three-Way All-In

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

There was a three-way all-in at a table with Peter Braglia holding {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}, Thomas Miller turning over {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}, and the big blind showing {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}. Braglia was in good shape to nearly triple up after starting the hand with just shy of 50,000 chips.

The board ran out {9-Spades}{7-Clubs}{3-Spades}{8-Spades}{9-Clubs} and Braglia's aces held up. Miller was eliminated, and after being left short-stacked the big blind was eliminated shortly after.

Kings vs. Jacks

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Sergio Cabrera
Sergio Cabrera

There was a raise to 3,700 from a player in early position and Sergio Cabrera three-bet to 11,500 on the button. Christian Rudolph four-bet to 26,000 from the small blind and the initial raiser folded. The action was back on Cabrera who thought for a couple of moments before announcing all in for 97,500. Rudolph called and showed {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}, but was well behind the {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} of Cabrera.

The board ran out {7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{4-Spades} and Cabrera's pocket kings held up to give a full double-up. Rudolph was left with just 2,200 and will need nothing short of a miracle to spin that back up.

Jake Bazeley
Jake Bazeley

Action folded around to Jacob Bazeley in the cutoff and he raised to 3,500. Richard Lowe was on the button and moved all in. Bazeley wasted no time and put his chips in the middle to call.

Lowe was at risk with {k-Spades}{q-Clubs}, up against Bazeley's {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}.

The flop came {a-Spades}{q-Spades}{j-Spades}, and Bazeley improved to two pair aces and jacks, but Lowe flopped a royal flush draw with outs to survive. The turn was the {6-Diamonds} and the river was the {8-Hearts}, sending the pot to Bazeley and Lowe to the rail.

Huihan Wu Tanks With Trips

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Bryan Piccioli raised to 3,000 from late position, and Huihan Wu three-bet to 8,100 from the cutoff. Piccioli called.

The flop came {q-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{5-Spades} and both players checked to the {6-Spades} on the turn. Piccioli checked again, and Wu paused for about 30 seconds before checking back again.

The river was the {5-Clubs} and Piccioli took his time before betting 10,000. Wu leaned over to have a look at his opponent, then went into the tank for about two minutes before he decided to call.

Picciolli tabled {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds} for two pair, eights and fives. Wu tabled {a-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} for trip fives and raked in the pot.
