Snell Pressures Endersby

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

The action folded around to Travis Endersby on the button who raised to 26,000. Jo Snell then raised to 250,000 from the small blind forcing the big blind out. Endersby then went into the tank for a minute or two before releasing his hand.

Snell tabled the {2-Diamonds} before raking in the pot.

"Deuce is good," said Endersby, with a smile.

Wan Triples in Train Wreck

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

A train wreck of a hand saw Vincent Wan earn a triple up after moving all-in from under-the-gun for 192,000 with neighbour Xun Sun re-shoving immediately.

Action folded around to big blind Dejan Boskovic, who thought it over for a few seconds before slamming down the call also and all three players tabled their hands.

Vincent Wan: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}
Xun Sun: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Dejan Boskovic: {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

Wan was the at-risk player and got one of the best flops he could hope for, coming down {9-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}. The {j-Hearts} turn was red but not the diamond needed and while the river was a black card it was the {k-Clubs} to see Wan triple to 591,000, Sun drop to 217,000 and Boskovic drop to 97,000

Robertson Doubles Through Pappas

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Peter Robertson and Steve Pappas
Peter Robertson and Steve Pappas

Peter Robertson moved all in for 95,000 from the hijack and was matched by Steve Pappas in the cutoff.

Robertson: {a-Spades}{j-Spades}
Pappas: {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

Robertson was at risk with the inferior kicker until the flop came {3-Spades}{9-Spades}{j-Clubs} giving him top pair and the nut flush draw.

Pappas was drawing dead after the {10-Spades} dropped on the turn giving Robertson the flush.

The meaningless {4-Clubs} completed the board and Robertson doubled up.

Kassam Rails Robertson

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Rehamn Kassam raised from the button and Peter Robertson three-bet all-in from the big blind, with Kassam making the call to put Robertson at risk.

Peter Robertson: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Rehman Kassam: {a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}

While Robertson held the best hand pre-flop, the {10-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{4-Spades}{9-Spades}{6-Clubs} runout favoured Kassam, who stacked up to 490,000 after the hand, while Robertson said his goodbyes to the table and headed for the cage to collect the AU$5,148 on offer for his 74th place finish.
