Vallinas Gives One, Then Gets It Right Back

Sava Krink
Sava Krink
Level 13 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Action folded to Jon Vallinas on the button, who moved all in for 340,000. Jeremy Ausmus called from the big blind, putting his tournament life at risk.

Jeremy Ausmus: K♥J♥All in
Jon Vallinas: Q♦10♦

The board ran out A♣2♣5♦8♥6♥, offering no help to Vallinas and allowing Ausmus to double up.

On the very next hand, Vallinas was all in again and received a call from Henrik Hecklen in the big blind.

Jon Vallinas: A♠8♦All in
Henrik Hecklen: J♠10♣

The board of 7♠2♦Q♣9♥5♠ failed to improve either player, and Vallinas' ace-high was enough to earn him a double-up, winning back the chips he had just lost.

Level 13 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Chris Hunichen opened to 40,000 from early position, only for Istvan Birizdo to three-bet all in for 220,000 from the next seat. Tom Fuchs sat in the very next seat and also moved all in for 230,000. Hunichen exited stage left sharply.

Istvan Birizdo: 5♦5♣ All in
Tom Fuchs: A♠K♦

Just what Birizdo ordered on the 8♠5♠4♥ flop to leave Fuchs in deep trouble. The A♥ peeled off on the turn and Q♥ on the river, and the pot was shipped to Birizdo for a double-up, leaving Fuchs with just over half a bowl of rice.

Level 13 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Pavel Plesuv made it 40,000 to play from the hijack and found a call from Kristen Foxen in the big blind.

The flop came A♠K♥10♥ and Foxen check-called Plesuv's 55,000 continuation-bet for the K♠ to peel off on the turn.

Both players checked to see the 5♦ appear on the river.

Foxen lead out for 45,000 which, after a short tank, found a fold from Plesuv to send Foxen the pot.
