On a heads-up flop of Q♦9♦J♣, Matt Dodd checked, Yuri Dzivielevski bet 33,000, and Dodd called.

The turn was the 4♠ and once again Dodd checked, Dzivielevski fired for 60,000, and Dodd made the call.

The river fell the J♠, pairing the board, and Dodd paused to think.

"All in," he announced and set out a stack of chips, the bet worth 156,000. Dzivielevski went into the tank for close to a minute, but eventually decided to fold and the huge pot was awarded to Dodd.

Ace-Jack Loses a Big One and Wins a Small One For Valdez

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 13 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

Fausto Valdez went to the flop with two players, one of them being the current chip leader in the tournament, Ilija Savevski. The cards were 10♥8♥J♣.

Action got checked to Savevski on the button, who bet 7,000. The out-of-position player folded and Valdez called.

The turn was the 4♣. Valdez checked again and Savevski bet again, this time 23,000. Valdez took a moment and called.

The river was the K♥, a scare-card bringing in the flush. Valdez took a moment before checking again. This time Savevski decided to check behind. The players turned over their cards. Valdez showed A♣Jx and Savevski turned over 4♠4♦ for a turned set.

The pot brought Savevski to the highest stack in the tournament up to this point, and Valdez was left with just over 25 big blinds.

A couple of hands later Valdez was dealt ace-jack again. This time he was able to make it work in his favor, albeit for a smaller pot of about 40,000 chips.

Livello 13 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

The under-the-gun player raised to 6,000, Josh Beckenstein three-bet to 19,000 from the button, Fernando Brito then four-bet from the small blind to 69,000. The under-the-gun player folded, and Beckenstein made the call.

The flop came 8♦8♥4♠, Brito bet enough to put Beckenstein all in, Beckenstein made the fold, and Brito showed AxAx. Beckenstein mentioned he was glad he had AxKx and not QxQx or JxJx.

A Game of Skill: The Plattitude of Poker

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 13 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

After a preflop betting war, Jeff Platt, Ryan Hiller, and another player got all of their chips into the middle, with Platt as the shortest stack.

Jeff Platt: K♦K♠ All in
Player 1: A♥K♥ All in
Ryan Hiller: Q♥Q♦

The runout of 10♦3♦J♦2♦10♠ gave both Platt and Hiller a flush, but Platt's superior king-high was good to take down the main pot for a triple-up while Hiller took the side pot to eliminate the third player.

"All skill over here," Platt joked as he raked in the pot.
