Roller Coaster Double for Capps Against Coelho

Livello 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Diogo Coelho raised to 400,000 in the hijack and Jesse Capps three-bet to 2,900,000 on the button with 25,000 behind. The blinds folded and Coelho pushed all-in, Capps called.

Jesse Capps: J♠J♣ All in
Diogo Coelho: A♠Q♦

"It is a flip, jacks versus ace-queen," Capps told his nearby rail.

When the flop came A♣K♠8♠, he sighed "oh no, an ace" but then jumped up high in the air several times when he spiked the J♦ on the turn. Capps cooled down enough to tell his rail to wait with the celebration as he needed to dodge a ten.

The river was the 4♥ and his double-up was confirmed.

"Is this real life?" he gasped before sitting down to stack the chips.

On the other side of the table, Coelho just smiled as he paid off the double with a very calm demeanour.

Livello 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Shundan Xiao opened to 400,000 from middle position and Danny Tang announced a raise of 1,800,000 from the button, which was all of his chips. The action folded to the big blind and while he was thinking, Xiao made the call out of turn.

"That's good news. You were not happy about calling," remarked Tang.

The big blind did eventually fold, and Xiao's call stood.

Danny Tang; A♣10♣ All in
Shundan Xiao: A♠7♠

Tang was in the lead but soon fell behind on the K♥6♣7♣ flop, though he did pick up a flush draw.

"We've been outflopped, but we have a flush draw or a ten," said Tang to his rail.

The Q♠ turn added yet more outs of Tang as any jack would complete Broadway, but the 3♠ river didn't help him which meant he was eliminated.

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Xuejun Huang shoved for his last 2,600,000 on the button and was called by Brian Kim in the big blind to put Huang at risk.

Xuejun Huang: J♥J♣ All in
Brian Kim: 3♣3♦

Huang was in great shape to double up and stayed that way on 5♦7♦Q♠ flop and 5♠ turn. However, the dealer brought the 3♥ on the river to improve Kim to a full house, which got a yelp from Huang as his Main Event ended in heartbreaking fashion.

Shylko Dodging the Coolers

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Aliaksandr Shylko raised to 400,000 from under the gun and Robert Renaud three-bet to 900,000 from the next seat. When it got back to Shylko, he put in the call.

The dealer put out a flop of 5♥10♥2♣ which saw Shylko check-call a bet of 700,000 from Renaud.

Both checked the A♥ turn and the 2♠ river.

Shylko flipped J♥J♦ but Renaud had the winner holding Q♠Q♦.

"Boom!" shouted Shylko as he moved his arms and body in a way that shows him dodging things.

"I should go broke preflop. I should go broke on the flop," remarked a very smiley Shylko, who seemed positive despite losing that pot.
