Deeb on Fire

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

It wasn't long ago that Shaun Deeb had about 200,000 left. Now, he's soared past 1.5 million as his latest come-up saw him bust a player who got the last few chips in on a {k-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{7-Clubs} flop. Deeb held the nuts with {k-Spades}{k-Hearts} and he was fading only {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}. The {7-Spades} ended it on the turn.

Jeckeln Sees a Sour River

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Andres Jeckeln opened to 36,000 from middle position, and action folded to the big blind who called.

Both players checked the {3-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} flop as the turn landed the {K-Hearts}. The big blind checked, Jeckeln bet 50,000, and his opponent called.

Both players then checked back the {3-Clubs} on the river, and the big blind tabled his {10-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} for trips.

Jeckeln flashed the {6-Clubs}, and dropped to 4.8 million in chips.

The turn {a-Spades} got checked through and the river was a {6-Hearts}. The small blind checked and snap-called 275,000, and Trudeau had the winner with {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}.

Goncalves Finds a Double

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Paulo Goncalves got his last 257,000 in the middle from late position with {k-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} and was called by an opponent on his left who had {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}. The {7-}{5-}{k-} flop favored Goncalves. The {q-} turn made it so he had a few cards to dodge but the {6-} river was safe for him.

Pollak Scoops a Monster with the Best Kicker

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Benjamin Pollak
Benjamin Pollak

We arrived at the table to find Benjamin Pollak facing a bet of 240,000 from his opponent in the small blind. There was already upwards of 400,000 in the pot with the board reading {k-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}. Pollak made the call and the rail inched closer to the table to get a glimpse of the action.

The river brought the {10-Spades} and the small blind opted to check this time. Pollak thought for a moment and then slammed his hand on the table as if to give up. His opponent turned over {a-Spades}{9-Clubs} and much to Pollak's surprise, he held the best hand with {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}. Although he missed his flush draw, Pollak's hand was good enough to earn a monster pot.
