OHairDJ

Niveau 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Ryan Price opened to 4,500 first-to-act and was called by Ka Kwan Lau in the cutoff. Javier Gomez then shoved for his last 25,000 from the big blind and Price also went all in. Lau quickly folded and hands were revealed.

Javier Gomez: J♦J♠
Ryan Price: A♣9♣

Gomez was in good shape with his jacks, and the 6♦4♥3♣ flop and 5♠ turn changed nothing; however, the A♥ paired Price's ace on the river — eliminating Gomez in heart-breaking fashion.

Derwiche Gets a Shove Through; Mendes Felts Reichenstein

MattHansen

Niveau 11 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Imad Derwiche raised to 3,500 from middle position and Johnny Mendes called from the big blind. The flop was 10♥8♦7♣ and Mendes checked. Derwiche shoved the rest of his short stack for around 20,000 and Mendes gave it a moment of thought. It was too much and Mendes gave up the pot.

Action was heads up on a nearby table with around 30,000 in the pot and K♦K♥3♣A♦ on the board. Kyle Cheong bet 10,500 from the big blind and Uri Reichenstein called from the cutoff. The river was 7♥ and Cheong slid out 50,000 to cover the rest of Reichenstein's chips. Reichenstein called for the rest of his stack and turned over A♣J♥, but Cheong had A♥Q♥ to take the pot with a pair of aces and a better kicker.
