Ito Wins a Flip

Level 11 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Kenta Ito had 21,000 in the middle in the small blind before Peter Moore bet enough to put his opponent all in. Ito took some time before making the call and was at risk.

Kenta Ito: 1010 All in
Peter Moore: AK

Ito was flipping with his pair of tens, and Moore picked up some additional counterfeit outs on the JQQ flop. The 8 turn and 2 river were bricks, as Ito won the flip to double his stack.

No Chop For Endersby

Level 11 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Action folded around to Pierce Hynes on the button, who moved all in against two short stacks in the blinds. Travis Endersby took some time in the small blind before making the call. He was at risk heads up after the big blind mucked.

Travis Endersby: A2 All in
Pierce Hynes: AQ

The 989 brought Endersby some chop opportunities, but the 6 turn and A river were no help as he hit the rail midway through Level 11.

"It Looked Like Queens"

Level 11 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Harry Basle
Harry Basle

Harry Basle opened to 8,000 from under the gun and found calls from Daniel Embleton on the button and Louis Luo in the small blind.

All three players checked after seeing the 10A7 flop. The dealer revealed the 5 turn and Luo led out for 12,000, with Basle calling and Embelton folding.

The 4 river saw Luo slow down with a check, while Basle checked back.

"Queens?" asked Embleton after Luo tabled J10 for a pair of tens. Basle grinned as he flipped over QQ to take the pot. "Yeah, it looked like queens," said Embleton.

Michael O'Grady: 107 All in
Amin Riyazati: AJ
