Gooch Leaves His Beer Behind

Kirk Brown

Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Short-stacked Jason Gooch moved all in preflop for around 450,000 and was called by Ryan Van to put him at risk.

Jason Gooch: Q♣Q♠
Ryan Van: A♦9♦

"I haven't had a drink all day and I take one sip of beer and wake up with queens, it's crazy," Gooch commented as the dealer prepared the cards.

Unfortunately for Gooch, the flop immediately spelt disaster as it came A♥7♠4♣ to give Van the upper hand. No queens appeared on the runout of 3♥3♦ and Gooch was headed to the exit, purposefully leaving his bad luck beer behind.

Burchfield Busts with Kings

Kirk Brown

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

After an open to 25,000 and a call from Ghadi Akari, short-stacked Kris Burchfield raised to all but one chip. The original raiser folded and Akari moved all in, to force that last chip into play, which Burchfield quickly tossed in to put himself at risk.

Kris Burchfield: K♠K♣
Ghadi Akari: 9♥10♥

Burchfield was in a great spot to double here with his kings, but the flop of 3♦6♥7♥ was not ideal as it gave Akari a ton of outs with a straight and flush combo draw.

The turn 5♣ was safe, but the river A♥ was the dagger that gave Akari a flush and Burchfield was sent to the payout desk.
