Praisman Goes Runner-Runner Against a Monster

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Arie Praisman
Arie Praisman

Arie Praisman from the cutoff and a player in the big blind three-bet to 150,000. Praisman snap four-bet to 355,000 and his opponent called to see the {a-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{2-Clubs} flop.

Action checked to Praisman, he put a continuation bet of 400,000 into the middle and his opponent just flatted, leaving themselves about 135,000 behind.

The {k-Hearts} landed on the turn, both players tapped the table and a {q-Hearts} completed the board. The big blind player moved their remaining 135,000 into the pot and Praisman snapped.

The all-in player flipped over {a-Spades}{a-Clubs} for the top set, but Praisman revealed something even heavier as he turned over {8-Hearts}{3-Hearts} for a runner-runner flush. Praisman pulled in the pot from a fortuitous runout and his opponent headed to the payout desk after seeing his aces cracked on the river.

Will Givens: {k-Spades}{q-Clubs}
Gary Gelman: {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}

The dealer spread out {q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{2-Clubs} on the flop and Gelman was still ahead with his ace kicker. The {j-Diamonds} turn and {6-Spades} river changed nothing as Givens to an exit to the higher kicker of Gelman.

Sande Sends Foe Home

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Leonard Sande opened to 100,000 from the button and the small blind shoved for around 170,000. Sande called, putting his opponent at risk as the two tabled their hands.

Opponent: {k-Spades}{7-Diamonds}
Leonard Sande: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}

The flop fell {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} and Sande was still in great shape to knock out his opponent. A {7-Spades} peeled off on the turn, sending the lead to Sande's opponent as they now had two pair. The river came down an {a-Hearts}, shifting the lead back to Sande who took down the pot with his higher two pair, eliminating his opponent.
