Kai Cocklin

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Daniel Jackson limped in for 25,000 from the button and Marta Miquel Munoz made it 75,000 to go in the small blind. Arian Kashani called from the big blind, then Jackson made it 365,000, leaving himself just 5,000 behind. Munoz then shoved, Kashani folded, and Jackson called off his last chip.

Daniel Jackson: J♥J♦ All in
Marta Miquel Munoz: Q♠Q♣

"Any Johnny's about?" said Jackson while the dealer was waiting for permission to run the board.

Once the dealer did get the go-ahead, there was no improvement for Jackson as the runout of 6♦8♣2♠2♣9♠ kept the pocket queens of Munoz in the lead.

Dick Postel raised to 40,000 under the gun. Bobby James called in the cutoff before Daniel Jackson followed suit in the small blind. Big blind Marta Miquel Munoz defended, and a flop of 10♦4♠6♠ hit the felt.

The blinds checked to Postel, who bet 90,000. James raised to 225,000, folding out Jakcson's 8♥7♥. Miquel Munoz decided to risk it all and jammed for 680,000.

Postel eventually folded his 8♦8♣ before James asked for a count. He tanked for a bit and then called off to put Miquel Munoz at risk.

Marta Miquel Munoz: Q♠2♠ All in
Bobby James: A♥10♣

James' top pair was up against the flush draw of Miquel Munoz. The 8♠ turn immediately locked up the pot for her as her flush was completed.
