Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Shivan Abdine
Shivan Abdine

Matt Wakeman opened with a raise from early position and Shivan Abdine three-bet to 13,000 two seats over. Action folded back to Wakeman who moved all in with a covering stack for a bit over 80,000 effective. Abdine called.

Shivan Abdine: {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}
Matt Wakeman: {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}

The board ran out {J-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{9-Spades}{2-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} and Abdine's aces held up to earn him the double to over 150,000. Wakeman was left with right around 60,000 after the hand.

"Just to confirm, the action went raise to 4,000, three-bet to 13,000, four-bet to 24,000," Abdine said after the hand, joking about the preflop action.

"No, no, no," Wakeman said. "I just four-bet jammed. And surprisingly, he didn't slowroll me. He probably should've but he didn't."

Hopkins Takes a Hit But Still Healthy

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

James Hopkins opened with a raise from the cutoff and the player on the button moved all in for 17,800. Action folded back to Hopkins who called.

James Hopkins: {8-Hearts}{6-Hearts}
Opponent: {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}

The board ran out {A-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{5-Spades} and thought Hopkins made a pair of sixes on the turn, it wasn't enough to do his opponent's flopped pair of aces, so the player doubled up.

Despite losing the pot, Hopkins still sits with a well above average stack of nearly 200,000 chips.
