Pillon In a Tricky Spot

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Jodie Dunfield opened in early position to 12,000 before James Pillon called on the button and the action was on Kevin Bergeron in the small blind. He took a moment to think before moving all in for his last 53,000. Dunfield got out of the way and then Pillon went in to the tank. He thought it over for about two minutes before sticking in the call.

The cards hit their backs with Bergeron all in and at risk.

Kevin Bergeron: 66 All in
James Pillon: A9

The full board ran out 795K2 and with a pair of nines Pillon sent Bergeron to the rail before the money.

The Ladies Flip for it All

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Deven Lane open jammed from early position for about 50,000 before the action folded to Oksana Kuznichenko in the cutoff who sat in the tank for a moment before rejamming for about 120,000. The remaining players all gave it some thought but they all found a fold one by one.

The cards hit their backs and the table saw the ladies were flipping for win.

Deven Lane: AQ All in
Oksana Kuznichenko: JJ

The full board ran out 941093 and the pair of Jacks held for Kuznichenko to send Lane to the rail.

Araujo sat in the tank for a moment before sticking in a call to put Kirsch at risk.

Daniel Kirsch: KJ All in
John Araujo: A8

The full board ran out 234A3 and the pair of aces for Araujo was enough to send Kirsch to the rail before the money.

Hinnegan Get the Big Blind Special

Level 13 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

The action folded to Leo Gulliver on the button who limped before Xin Qi limped in the small blind and then Bradley Hinnegan checked his option in the big blind.

The 987 flop landed and the action quickly checked through to a 6 turn. Qi then led from the small blind for 4,000 and both players called.

The Q hit the river and the action quickly checked through. Qi tabled 8x6x for two pair but Hinnegan had him pipped with 9x6x for a better two pair and the button mucked. Hinnegan dragged the pot and continues to chip up.

The Solver Loves the Jam

Level 13 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

The action was opened in the cutoff to 6,500 by Colin Mchugh before the action folded all the way to Gregory Taylor in the small blind who took a moment and then moved all in for his last 64,000. Mchugh went into the tank and eventually flicked in a call.

The cards hit their backs with Mchugh all in and at risk.

Gregory Taylor: A5 All in
Colin Mchugh: AJ

Taylor was holding the hand that all the kids and the solver love but he would still need some help. He got that help on the 452 flop in the form of top pair. The 9 turn and K river did not improve Mchugh and he would double up Taylor.
