Ciolfitto Doubles Again

Justin Ciolfitto peered down at his cards and moved all in from middle position for his last 1,030,000. It folded around to Calvin Anderson on the button who thought for a moment before announcing a call. The blinds got out of the way and the two players found themselves in the quintessential race situation.

Ciolfitto: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}
Anderson: {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}

Ciolfitto retained his lead when Anderson failed to pair up on the {5-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{7-Spades} flop. Fourth street was the {J-Clubs} and fifth street the {6-Diamonds}, ensuring that the pocket queens of Ciolfitto were the best hand. He now sits on about 2.28 million in chips while Anderson has fallen to 1.925 million.

Ciolfitto Doubles Up

A short stacked Justin Ciolfitto moved all in from the cutoff for his last 525,000. Mal Hagan moved all in over the top from the button and the blinds got out of the way.

Hagan: {J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}
Ciolfitto: {k-Hearts}{8-Hearts}

Ciolfitto was all in and at risk and needed some help to crack the jacks. He found exactly that when the board came down {Q-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{6-Spades}{10-Diamonds} and his trip kings were able to score him a double up. He's now sitting on about 1.25 million.

Hagan: {J-Spades}{j-Clubs}

Sullivan struck gold on the {10-Spades}{4-Hearts}{Q-Clubs} flop, hitting his set of fours and jumping into the lead.
