Birchby Doubles Up With Aces

Livello 25 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Chris Birchby jammed for 450,000 from middle position and received a call from the player in the hijack. The rest of the table folded and the cards went on their backs.

Chris Birchby: A♥A♣
Opponent: A♦J♣

Birchby's opponent would flop a jack on K♣J♦2♣, but there was little sweat for Birchby when he made a flush on the 6♣8♣ runout for a complete double-up.

Liang Hits An Apparent Miracle Ace on the River

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

A player raised from late position to 80,000 only to see Michael Liang three-bet jam 925,000 from the cutoff. The button and blinds got out of the way before the original raiser snap-called to set up a runout with Liang at risk.

Michael Liang: A♦9♥
Late Position: J♥J♠

The 7♥10♥6♦ flop was safe for the player holding jacks and the 3♠ on the turn didn't change anything either, but when the A♥ fell on the river, Liang doubled to almost 2,000,000 chips.

As the pot was collected and pushed to Liang, the big blind said, "I had an ace, too. If you didn't shove, I would have" to which the small blind responded, "I had one too!", making it apparent that Liang had spiked a one outer to survive and double into a massive stack.

Livello 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Robbi Jade Lew pushed her final 250,000 chips in from under the gun and the action folded to the player in the small blind. He made the call with a stack of 290,000 and the big blind got out of the way.

Robbi Jade Lew: A♦K♣
Opponent: 6♥6♦

It was looking like Lew would be eliminated when the flop came 5♣2♥7♠, but the K♠ turn made her a pair higher than the sixes of her opponent. The 8♣ river remained clean for her as well, and she doubled up to an around-average stack, while her opponent was left with one big blind.

Dylan DeStefano raised under to gun to 80,000, finding the player in the big blind who defended. The big blind seemingly thought they were all in and at risk and were ready to table their hand. Once made aware that they still had approximately 20,000 behind, it was heads up to a flop.

The flop came 6♥10♣9♣. The big blind checked and DeStefano promptly put them all in. The big blind called.

Big Blind: K♥10♦
Dylan DeStefano: Q♣Q♦

The turn and river came the 9♦ and 6♣ respectively and DeStefano's opponent was sent to the rail.

The player in the cutoff shoved all in from the cutoff for 325,000 and George Chen made the call from the big blind with the covering stack.

Cutoff: K♣10♦
George Chen: A♠9♠

Chen would flop top pair on 9♣3♠2♣ and would upgrade to two pair on the 2♠A♥ runout. He eliminated his opponent as the tournament rapidly dwindles in size.

Plante Wins A Flip to Double

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

A player in middle position raised to 60,000. Action folded around to Santiago Plante in the big blind who slid forward 560,000 in what was basically an all in three-bet, but being on a pay jump, he had held back a 5,000 chip as a card protector.

The middle position player jammed and Plante entered a short tank to try and allow a bust out to take place to guarantee himself the ladder in payouts. After a couple of minutes, he put the last chip in and the cards were turned over before heading to a runout.

Santiago Plante: 7♦7♣
Middle Position: A♦9♦

The board ran out 6♠8♠2♠10♥J♥, keeping Plante in the lead as he doubles to over a million in chips.
