"This Might Be a Slow Roll"

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

There were roughly 180,000 chips in the pot on the flop of 10J10, Toan Nguyen who was under the gun checked to Uri Reichenstein in the hijack, and he bet 32,000. Nguyen called.

Action went check-check when the 10 hit the turn, and Nguyen put Reichenstein all in for 320,000 when the 7 fell on the river. Reichenstein was clearly in the blender as he said out loud, "this might be a slow roll," and called.

Nguyen tabled KQ for a stone-bluff, and Reichenstein tabled JJ for top full house. Reichenstein caught some heat from his tablemates.

Xiao’s Kings Hold for a Massive Double-Up Against Vazquez

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Shundan Xiao
Shundan Xiao

With more than 100,000 already in the middle and four players seeing a flop of 392, action checked around to Pablo Mariz on the button. He fired for 36,000, but Joel Vazquez in the big blind came in with a raise to 120,000.

That’s when Shundan Xiao moved all in, forcing quick folds from both Guilherme Pessoa and Mariz. Vazquez asked for a count, and once the dealer confirmed 336,000 total, he made the call to take it to showdown.

Shundan Xiao: KKAll in
Joel Vazquez: 105

Xiao was ahead with an overpair, but Vazquez had plenty of outs with a flush draw and some backdoor straight possibilities. The 6 on the turn added to the drama but didn’t change much.

When the river brought the J, Xiao’s kings held strong, and she let out a sigh of relief as she raked in a massive double-up.
