Kings Hold for Stojanovski

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Peco Stojanovski opened to 2,600 from under the gun only to have Aik-Chuan Nee three-bet the button to 8,700. With the action on Najeem Ajez in the small blind, he moved all in for roughly 60,000 as Stojanovski committed his 43,100 total.

Nee contemplated for a while but eventually folded as the cards were then tabled.

Stojanovski: {K-Diamonds}{K-Spades}
Ajez: {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}

The dealer fanned a {7-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} flop to keep Stojanovski in the lead, and when the {7-Spades} and {6-Spades} landed on the turn and river, Ajez slipped to 16,000 while Stojanovski doubled to just under 100,000 in chips.

Big Stacks Almost Clash on Bubble

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

The hand started with Michael O’Grady opening to 3,300 from under the gun. Sam Ruha was in middle position and opted to raise it up to 8,000. The action folded back around to O’Grady who instantly moved all in for just over 70,000 in chips.

“Will you show me if I fold,” asked Ruha, after thinking about his decision for a minute.

“If you fold and show me your hand I’ll show you mine,” replied O’Grady.

Ruha then announced fold and tabled his {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}. O’Grady smiled before showing his {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}.

Hough Survives

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Daniel Hough found himself all-in for his last 2,7000 with three players calling and then checking down the {4-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{A-Hearts}{K-Hearts} board.

Hough tabled his {Q-Hearts}{J-Diamonds} for a Broadway straight as the remaining three players could only manage a combination of top and second pairs to ensure Hough the quadruple up.

Kitty Kuo moved all in and Michael O'Grady made the call.

Kuo: {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts}
O'Grady: {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}

The {5-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{4-Hearts} flop kept O'Grady in the lead, but when the {J-Clubs} landed on the turn, it now gave Kuo outs to a queen. Unfortunately for the last lady in the field, the river landed the {J-Diamonds} to see Kuo hit the rail to leave just 25 players remaining in the tournament.
