Oppenheim Finds Double

Level 6 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

James Bord pushed all in from the button to put David Oppenheim in a tough spot from the big blind.

With Oppenheim and his 130,000-plus chip stack being covered by Bord, he went deep into the tank for several minutes.

"I've worked it all the way back up to 135,000 and now I have a very big hand. And for some reason I don't wanna call!" stated Oppenheim.

"How much do you have? Just approximate." asked Bord.

"220, 230 maybe." responded Bord as Oppenheim stood up to continue his lengthy deliberation.

"40, 50, 80?" Oppenheim asked in reference to the payout structure as a few players nodded accordingly.

Several more minutes went by before Oppenheim announced call.

"I didn't see how many chips you had. I made a mistake!" stated Bord as each player flipped their hand over.

Bord: {A-Hearts}{5-Hearts}
Oppenheim: {A-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

With Oppenheim in the lead, and all in for his 145,500, the {4-Spades}{6-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} flop kept him that way.

The {8-Clubs} on the turn gave Bord outs to a straight, but when the {3-Clubs} landed on the river, Oppenheim doubled through to just under 300,000 as Bord was left with roughly 80,000 in chips.

Patrik Pushing

Level 6 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

Patrik Antonius pushed all in - for the second consecutive hand - and just like previously, picked up the blinds and antes with no contest.

His 39,000-chip stack has now grown to 62,000 following his last two pushes.

Ace-High Double for Oppenheim

Barny Boatman made it 16,000 from the cutoff only to have David Oppenheim three-bet shove for 44,500 total. Boatman made the call as the cards were on their backs.

Boatman: {J-Clubs}{8-Clubs}
Oppenheim: {A-Hearts}{6-Clubs}

The {2-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} flop changed little apart from giving Boatman backdoor outs to a flush. The {K-Spades} on the turn left Oppenheim needing to fade just a jack or an eight, and when the {5-Hearts} landed on the river, he doubled through to 110,000 in chips.

Antonius Forced to Fold

Level 5 : 2,500/5,000, 400 ante

Patrik Antonius entered the pot first to speak with a raise to 11,000 only to have David Oppenheim tank for near on a minute before folding.

Barny Boatman leant over to eye up Antonius' stack before making the call from the small blind as James Bord made the call from the big.

The flop fell {9-Hearts}{3-Spades}{3-Clubs} and the action was checked to Antonius who opted to fire out 13,000. Boatman again eyed Antonius stack before splashing the pot with a raise to 26,000. Bord passed as Antonius went deep into thought with his left hand covering his mouth, and right hand shuffling 40,000-worth of yellow 5,000-denomination chips.

Just over ninety seconds went by before Antonius made the call as the {5-Diamonds} landed on the turn and Boatman responded by moving all in.

Antonius mucked while slipping to roughly 50,000 in chips.
