Hicks Picks Up Aces to Eliminate Master

Kirk Brown

Level 20 : Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Casey Master moved all in preflop and the action folded around to Timothy Hicks, who quickly called to put him at risk.

Casey Master: J♦J♣ All in
Timothy Hicks: A♠A♦

"Ugh, don't you have enough chips already?" Master sighed as the runout of 4♦K♠9♠A♥9♣ sent him to the rail while Hicks added to his chip lead.

'Pyzza' Doubles Through Jones

Kirk Brown

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

After some preflop back-and-forth, Benjamin 'Pizza' Teston moved all in and was called by Jesse Jones to put him at risk.

Benjamin Teston: 9♣9♦ All in
Jesse Jones: 8♣8♥

Teston was in good shape with his superior pocket pair, and the board on the turn 2♠7♠10♥9♥ improved him to a set, although it did also give Jones an open-ender.

Fortunately for Teston, the river was the blank 4♠ and he was shipped the pot for the double.

Player	Chips	Progress
Benjamin Teston	900,000 325,000	325,000
Jesse Jones	780,000 -50,000	-50,000

Big Double for Clark, Izadi Exits

Kirk Brown

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

After a preflop battle, Hamid Izadi and Richard Clark got it all into the middle, with Izadi barely covering.

Richard Clark: A♥K♦ All in
Hamid Izadi: J♦J♥

Clark would need to improve to stay alive in this classic flip, and he sure did as the runout of 9♣2♣10♠4♥K♥ gave him the savior king on the river to score him the double.

Left with crumbs, Izadi was eliminated soon after.

Ghanem Extracts from Roberts

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Kirk Brown

Level 18 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Saad Ghanem opened to 30,000 and was called by Brian Roberts to go to a flop of 2♦8♦9♥.

Roberts checked to Ghanem who bet 20,000 and Roberts quickly tossed out a call to go to the 8♥ on the turn.

Roberts then check-called another bet from Ghanem, this time for 40,000. On the river Q♠, Ghanem fired again for 40,000, and Roberts once again called.

Ghanem then flipped over Q♦9♠ for two pair of queens and nines.

"Nice river, I thought I had you right where I wanted you..." Roberts sighed as he slid his cards to the dealer and the pot was pushed to Ghanem.
