Four Hearts Saves The One In Aces Versus Kings Cooler

Connor Richards

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

A player opened to 600 before Ruben Correia three-bet to 2,500 and Idan The One four-bet to 6,000. Only Corrael called.

Correia checked on the flop of 4♥5♥J♥ and The One checked back. Correia then led out for 8,000 on the 8♦ turn and The One called.

Correia checked as the A♥ river put four hearts on the board and The One checked back. Correia showed A♦A♣ for three aces and The One tabled K♦K♣ in frustration to lose the pot.

Tyler Foran

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

The under-the-gun player raised 800 and Thomas Brabham called on the button before Ramon Colillas three-bet to 3,800 in the small blind. Both the under-the-gun player and Brabham made the call.

The 7♦4♦4♥ flop hit the felt and the action checked to Brabham, who dropped a red chip across the line for a bet of 5,000. Only the under-the-gun player called.

The 10♥ hit the turn and Brabham's opponent check-folded to a bet of 11,500.

"I had a monster," claimed Brabham, "You might have had two outs if you had a pair."

Dickey Trips up Boatman

Dan O'Hair

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Barny Boatman raised to 800 from the hijack and was called by Brandon Dickey on the button.

Dickey called a 900 bet from Boatman on the 2♠Q♦Q♣ flop and then a 1,600 bet from Boatman on the 4♥ turn.

Boatman barreled 2,000 on the K♠ river and then Dickey put in a raise to 4,000. Boatman reluctantly called and Dickey turned over Q♠10♠ for trip queens.

Boatman couldn't beat it and mucked — conceding the pot to Dickey.

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Julien Labussiere opened in early position and a middle position player called before Assad Kamran three-bet to 5,100 in the small blind. Only Labussiere called.

Kamran checked on the 5♣2♥K♥ flop and Labussiere checked back. Kamran then bet 6,000 on the 5♠ turn and Labussiere called. Kamran sized up to 8,500 on the 3♦ river and Labussiere quickly folded.

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Gianna Avdic McIntire and Kubanychbek Abakirov had created a pot of 15,000 chips on a completed board of 2♠J♥5♣Q♦4♦.

McIntire bet out 5,000 chips from the hijack and Abakirov thought it all over in the cutoff. Eventually, he made the call and McIntire turned over J♦10♦ for a pair of jacks.

It was high enough to rake in another pot, as Abakirov mucked his cards soon after.

Aoki Kicks A Player Out With Aces

Maxime Taldir

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

On table 664, action was caught when Dennis Aoki and Ralf Russo, seated on his left, flipped their cards in an all-in and call situation.

According to Aoki, he opened from the under-the-gun position, and Russo three-bet. A player called in middle position, and then Aoki "four-bet to 20,000". Then, Russo moved all in for 16,200, putting himself at risk, and the player in middle position folded.

Ralph Russo: A♣K♦
Dennis Aoki: A♥A♦

In a very bad situation, Russo could still hope for a flush as he had a draw on 6♣3♣10♠5♣, but the 9♥ on the river didn't give him the fourth club he needed, and he has been eliminated while Aoki is back to the starting stack.
