King Always Coming for Roche

Level 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Kevin Roche
Kevin Roche

Action folded to Kevin Roche on the button, and he raised all in for 1,480,000. After it folded to the big blind Jonas Wexler, he debated his decision for over a minute, before tossing in a chip to call.

Kevin Roche: K10 All in
Jonas Wexler: A8

Roche had two live cards against the ace high of Wexler, and before the flop he said, "King is always coming right?". When the flop came K28 he was proven right and jumped into the lead. The 6 on the turn, and 5 on the river changed nothing, and Roche scooped the pot and got the double up.

Chisholm Finds a Dream Spot to Double Up

Level 27 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
William Chisholm
William Chisholm

Christopher Csik raised to 160,000 from under the gun, and William Chisholm three-bet all in for 880,000. It folded back to Csik, who sat in the tank for over two minutes, before finding the call.

William Chisholm: 99 All in
Christopher Csik: 98

Chisholm was a great position to double up, with Csik having no immediate outs to beat the pocket nines. But after the 8K5 flop, Csik could now hit an eight. But after the 5 on the turn and K on the river, the pocket nines of Chisholm remained the best hand, and he secured the double up.
