Tyler Boyer

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 0 ante

Jesse Jaurigu opened the action with a raise to 800 from middle position. He was called by Sam Weiss on the button, before Sohale Khalili three-bet to 4,800. Once the big blind folded, Jaurigu four-bet all in, which got Weiss to fold, and Khalili made the call to put himself at risk for his stack of 26,700.

Sohale Khalili: A♦K♠ All in
Jesse Jaurigu: A♥Q♠

Khalili had Jaurigu dominated, and in a great position to find the double up. After the board ran out 3♣7♥10♠4♦A♣ the ace king of Khalili remained best, to take the pot and double up.

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 0 ante

With players in the pot, a player from early position checked to Sarah Cruce in the hijack, who went all in for 11,200. Then Naoya Morozumi in the cutoff called the bet, which for the player on the button and early position to fold, leaving the players heads up, with Cruce at risk.

Sarah Cruce: 9♠9♣ All in
Naoya Morozumi: Q♠Q♣

Cruce ran into the bigger over pair, and once the board ran out 8♦ on the turn, and 3♦ on the river, the pocket queens of Morozumi were still best, to give him the pot and eliminate Cruce.
