Full House for Tenpas; Probst Exits

Kirk Brown

Level 9 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

On a board of 3♠J♣2♦J♦, Xiao Probst was already all in and the pot was over 100,000 when Nicolas bet 20,000 after a check from Timothy Tenpas.

Tenpas then responded by check-raising all in, covering Trevino who then went deep into the tank.

After a full minute, he finally slid his cards to the dealer and the cards were on their backs.

"You so lucky!" Probst said to Tenpas, knowing he had her beat.

Xiao Probst: K♦K♣
Timothy Tenpas: A♠J♠

Tenpas did indeed have her pocket kings beat with his trip jacks, and the river A♥ only improved him to a full house to scoop the pot, eliminating Probst.

Chlouber Cracks Zhang's Aces

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

On a three-way turn of 8♥5♠6♣2♣, Albert Chlouber led out for 25,000 and was called by Kris Burchfield, but then Tao Zhang moved all in to cover.

Chlouber then moved in for less and Burchfield quickly got out of the way.

Albert Chlouber: 5♦6♦
Tao Zhang: A♥A♠

Chlouber was ahead of Zhang's aces with his flopped two-pair but he still needed to fade an ace, deuce, or eight to win. Luckily for him, the river came the brick 4♦ and he was awarded the big pot while Zhang was left short.

Baeza Scoops with Nines

Kirk Brown

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

After some preflop shenanigans, Bryan Broussard, Anastacio Baeza, and another player get all of the chips into the middle, with Broussard covering.

Player: A♦J♦
Anastacio Baeza: 9♦9♠
Bryan Broussard: A♥K♠

Baeza was ahead with his pocket nines but would need to fade a lot to hold up.

Luckily for him, the runout of 10♠2♥Q♣2♣8♦ was exactly what he needed and he and his nines scooped the pot for more than a double while one player with ace-jack exited.
