Liu Cracks Aces to Score Massive Double

Ryan Lashmar

Level 26 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Gergo Nagy limped in from under the gun and Wing Po Liu raised to 325,000 from the hijack. Nagy responded with a pot-sized raise to 1,125,000 which Liu called.

The flop came 10♥3♣2♠ and Nagy moved all in, covering Liu's remaining stack of 1,235,000. Liu considered his options for roughly two minutes before making the call to put himself at risk.

Wing Po Liu: A♣K♣10♦9♦
Gergo Nagy: A♥A♦K♦3♥

Nagy was ahead with an overpair but the K♥ turn gave Liu the lead with two pair. The 9♠ river changed nothing for either player and Liu collected a gargantuan double up while Nagy was left with less than ten big blinds.

Anson Tsang opened to 250,000 from the cutoff and Wooram Cho shoved for his last 285,000 from the small blind. Gergo Nagy called cold from the big blind and Tsang called as well.

Tsang and Nagy checked down on the Q♦7♥4♥ flop, 3♥ turn, and 7♠ river. Nagy revealed K♦9♥3♠2♥ for a flush, which was good for it all against the A♣Q♣10♥8♣ of Cho and K♣K♠Q♠3♣ of Tsang — eliminating Cho in seventh place.

With two players seeing a board of 9♥9♠2♥ and roughly 650,000 already in the middle, Kasparas Klezys checked from the big blind and Omar Eljach bet 200,000. Klezys made the call.

Both players checked the 9♦ turn leading to the 4♦ river. Klezys checked, Eljach bet 800,000 and Klezys mucked.

A few hands later, Omar Eljach opened to 250,000 from under the gun and received calls from Wooram Cho in middle position and Anson Tsang in the big blind.

The flop came A♣J♥2♦. Tsang checked, Eljach bet 350,000, Cho folded and Tsang called.

Both remaining players checked the 6♠ turn and 4♦ river. Tsang showed down K♣Q♠J♦9♣ for a pair of jacks and Eljach tabled Q♥8♣6♦4♥ for a rivered two pair to take the pot.

Level 26 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Omar Eljach opened to 250,000 from the hijack and was called by Wooram Cho in the cutoff.

Cho called a 300,000 bet from Eljach on the 6♣8♦6♦ flop and then both players checked on the 5♣ turn.

The 2♠ completed the board and Eljach slid an even 1,000,000 into the pot. Cho called and Eljach tabled Q♥10♣6♥4♣ for trip sixes. Cho couldn’t beat it and mucked — conceding the pot to Eljach.
