Korotki Runs His Kings into Aces and Hits the Rail

Level 12 : Blinds 1,200/2,400, 2,400 ante
Brandon Mueller
Brandon Mueller

James Crawford limped under the gun, and Harry Korotki raised to 6,500 from early position. Then Brandon Mueller three-bet to 19,000 from middle position. Once action got back to Crawford, he folded, and Korotki four-bet all in, which was snap called by Mueller.

Harry Korotki: KK All in
Brandon Mueller: AA

It was the ultimate cooler, as Korotki's pocket kings ran right into the pocket aces of Mueller. The board ran out 99A26 and Mueller's flopped full house gave him the pot and eliminated Korotki.

Nicholas Banyas
Nicholas Banyas

Action picked up on the river in a hand between Nicholas Banyas on the button and the player in middle position.

With over 25,000 in the middle and the board reading 32Q2J, middle position bet 19,000 and Banyas moved all in, putting middle position at risk.

Middle position quickly made the call and tabled A5 for the nut flush, but fell to the 33 of Banyas, who had a full house, threes full of deuces.
