Livello 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

There was a raise under the gun to 2,200 and action folded to Andy Perez in middle position who put in the cold three bet to 5,900. The next player to act thought for a moment before cold calling the three bet and action was back on the under the gun player. They thought for about a minute before ultimately putting in the four bet rip for 24,500. With action back on Perez he didn't take much time before putting in the five bet all in to push out the cold caller behind him. The plan worked, the cold caller folded, and they were off to a full board with one player all in.

Under the Gun: A♣Q♥
Andy Perez: J♠J♦

The board ran out 7♠6♣K♥K♣5♦ and Perez got almost a full double to start the level.

Rivers Are for Gamers

Livello 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Daniel Gamer loved the river.

PokerNews was told of a hand that nearly tripled up Gamer, as he raised preflop and had two callers. Gamer then bet 20,000 on the QxJx3x flop and saw both of his opponents go all in with slightly smaller stacks than his own. He decided to call, putting both of his opponents at risk.

Opponent 1: KxQx
Opponent 2: Qx10x
Daniel Gamer: AxAx

Gamer's aces were good when the money went in, but the 10x turn gave one of his opponents two pair. Gamer watched as the river came Jx giving him aces up and the big win.
