Connie Graham Finds a Double Up

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

It's unclear how or when all the money got in the middle, but Connie Graham was holding {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} on a board of {8-Clubs}{3-Spades}{J-Spades}{A-Hearts}{2-Hearts} and it was a big cooler for her opponent who was holding {A-}{J-}. Graham was in for roughly 40,000 and she earned a full double, to now sit with about 85,000 chips.

Big Double Puts Richard Kellett Over 200k

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Richard Kellett relayed some of the details from his recent double up. According to him, he opened to 4,500 and the player in the small blind called him. The player in the big blind then made it 18,000. Action was back on Kellett and he shoved all in for 99,500. The small blind folded but the big blind called.

Kellett was holding {A-}{K-} offsuit while his opponent held {A-}{Q-} suited. The flop came {Q-}{J-}{4-} which put his opponent in the lead with a pair of queens but a {10-} hit the turn. With that, Kellett took over and left his opponent drawing to a chop.

The river was a brick and with that Kellett doubled to over 200,000 chips.

Ishac Quadruples Up

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Jamal Ishac moved all in for 13,900 from under the gun and was called by three of his opponents.

The flop came {j-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{7-Diamonds} and everyone checked.

The turn brought the {a-Diamonds} and one player bet out 30,000 which was enough to see his two other opponents muck their hands.

"You have a flush," questioned Ishac, before his opponent shook his head and tabled {a-Spades}{k-Spades}.

Ishac jumped out of his chair and confidently slammed down his {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for two pair.

The {10-Clubs} completed the board and Ishac improved to a full house before taking down the pot to see him quadruple up.

Horowitz Fades It All To Double Through Pritchard

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Jacob Horowitz was all in before the flop for 29,200 and there was a decision on Jason Pritchard who called quickly, putting Horowitz at risk.

Jacob Horowitz: {6-Spades}{6-Hearts}
Jason Pritchard: {K-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}

The flop was {10-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} and that gave even more outs to Pritchard who flopped a straight draw as well. The turn was the {7-Hearts} though which didn't change anything and the {A-Hearts} on the river was a brick as well. With that, Horowitz earned the double to over 60,000 while Pritchard was left short with only about 50,000 chips.

More and More For Connie Graham

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Catching the action on the turn with a substantial pot already brewing in the middle of the table, Connie Graham checked over to James Hopkins who had position on her. The board was {A-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{7-Hearts}. Hopkins put out a bet of 14,000. Graham thought about it for a bit, counted out a call and pushed it forward.

On the {7-Spades} river, Graham checked again. Hopkins thought about it briefly then checked behind. Graham showed down her {K-Hearts}{9-Hearts} for the nut flush and it was good to earn her the pot as Hopkins mucked his hand quickly after.

Graham is now almost at 100,000 chips and is putting together strong finish to the end of the day.
