Robinson Flops Bad, Turns Well

Level 27 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Jerry Robinson was all in from small blind, tangling with David Paredes in the big. Robinson had exactly 600,000 and Paredes had him just covered.

Robinson was well on his way to double up with {A-Spades}{K-Spades} versus {A-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}, but Paredes outflopped him on {4-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{6-Spades}. The turn, however, fell {K-Clubs} and Robinson jumped from his chair in excitement. The river was the {10-Hearts} and Robinson finally locked the double while Paredes was left with only 50,000.

Simmons Triples Up

Level 27 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Allen Kessler made it 65,000 from the third position and two players moved all in: the button for 380,000 and Sampson Simmons called for his 170,000 in the big blind. Kessler had them both covered and called with {A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}. Simmons had the worst hand as he showed {K-Hearts}{10-Clubs} while the third player rolled over {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}.

However, the board ran out {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{10-Spades}{6-Hearts}{4-Spades} and Simmons hit a ten to score a triple up.

"To be honest, I deserved this," Simmons said while piling up his newly earned chips.
