Farrell's Time to Strike

Livello 14 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Niall Farrell raised to 10,000 from early position and was called by a player in the big blind.

Both players would check the J♣K♣9♠ flop, as well as the 3♠ turn.

The player in the big blind then checked once more on the J♥ river, prompting Farrell to mutter, "It's my time to strike, I feel," before putting in a bet of 12,000.

This was enough to get the job done as the player in the big blind folded, and Farrell tabled A♣9♣ in a good faith reveal.

Communal's Aces Hold Against Two Players

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

At table 149, action was caught when the player under the gun, Laurent Communal in middle position, and the big blind flipped their cards, with two of them being at risk.

Under-the-Gun Player: A♠J♦
Laurent Communal: A♦A♥
Big Blind: K♦Q♦

Even though he was in the lead, Communal started to sweat a little bit on the flop 10♦J♣Q♥, which gave a pair and a straight draw to his two opponents.

But the 7♣ landed on the turn, followed by the 8♠ on the river, keeping Communal's aces ahead.

With a stack of approximately 50,000 chips, the under-the-gun player has been eliminated. Communal took this amount and doubled up on the big blind to reach 196,000 chips.

Schultz Building a Stack

Livello 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

A player went all in from under the gun and was called by Bryan Schultz in the small blind. Schultz covered.

Under-the-Gun Player: A♦7♦
Bryan Schultz; 2♥2♣

The flop fell 4♥10♦10♣ and meant that Schultz would have to dodge a significant portion of the deck.

But for the under-the-gun player, it was a case of 'too many outs syndrome' as the turn and river came Q♣K♥, busting him from the tournament.

Late Position: A♥J♠
Big Blind: 8♥8♦
Chad Burum: Q♥Q♦

The board ran out clean for the queens 3♦10♣9♥10♠4♣.

One of Burum's tablemates chimed in, "Let the record show, he's gotten f****** queens every other hand."

Burum was unbothered and said, "I told that guy I was going to get him!"
