King-High Good

Jacob Wilson

Level 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Action has slowed down a little bit, with players just a few minutes away from their dinner break. An extremely passive hand took place, in which Damian Grant opened the action with a raise to 75,000 from the cutoff. His only customer was Jeremy Van Der Linden, who defended his big blind.

The board ran all the way out, with neither play attempting to take a stab, as it went check-check to the river, reading 2♥A♦9♣6♦4♠. Van Der Linden showed K♠J♥ and Grant mucked.

Michael Brent went all in under the gun for his last 210,000 chips. Ryan Pringle went all in after him from the hijack.

Michael Brent: Q♣J♠All in
Ryan Pringle: A♥Q♥

Pringle's edge on the flop grew with every card in a runout of J♦K♥A♠7♥8♥ that ended with him holding a heart flush.

Level 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Three-way play was already in progress with Congya Zhang all-in on the flop of K♦8♥8♠ with a pot of around 300,000.

Tomonari Miyazaki fired 80,000 when the turn J♥ dropped, creating a side pot with Lorenzo Rodriguez, who was also in the hand. Rodriguez called to see the last card.

The river fell 2♦ and both players checked, taking everyone to showdown.

Zhang tabled 7♣7♥ for two pair with her pockets and the board, Rodriquez showed A♥3♥ for ace-high, and Miyazaki with J♦9♦ took both the main pot and the side pot for the higher two pair. Miyazaki left the table bidding everyone good luck as Miyazaki scooped the pot,

Pineault Takes A Chance

Level 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Karl Pineault says he has never pondered a poker decision for as long as it took for him to decide what to do with Debra Heidenreich's 500,000-chip bet.

With over a million chips already in the pot, the river bet on a board of 3♥7♥10♦7♠4♠ would lead to one of the players having a significant amount of chips.

Pineault eventually made the call.

Heidenreich tossed in A♣K♠, leading to a scream from Pineault, who had made the call with 9♣9♥, hoping that Heidenreich had missed.

Level 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Zhongmin Xia was facing an extremely tough river decision, having been in the tank for multiple minutes. The board read A♥10♥K♦10♣Q♣ with any jack making a straight. Lorenzo Rodriguez had bet 260,000 into a pot of around the same size, and eventually, Xia put in the call.

Rodriguez tabled 7♠7♥ and tapped the table in defeat and respect. Xia showed A♠6♥ for two pair, with his kicker coming from the board.

Stephen Chiovaro could not recover from the hand that crippled his stack earlier.

Forced by the blind to go all in, he went head up against Kevin Huang and barely survived.

Stephen Chiovaro: K♠10♣All in
Kevin Huang: K♣Q♠

The flop ran J♦10♥9♥9♠Q♥, giving both players a king-high straight, meaning they chopped the ante. Chiovaro put his final 20,000 chips all in the next hand from the small blind, that time against Mehrdad Vahabi.

Stephen Chiovaro: 7♥6♥All in
Mehrdad Vahabi: A♣K♦

The runout didn't save Chiovaro, as 9♣3♥J♣K♥3♣ gave Vahabi a pair of kings and the knockout.
