Wallace Doubles Through Savill

Niveau 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

After Sterling Savill raised to 130,000 in the hijack, Aaron Wallace moved all in for his last 260,000. Savill called to put him at risk.

Aaron Wallace: A♦J♠4♣3♥
Sterling Savill: A♠10♥3♦2♠

The flop came 6♣4♠4♥, giving Wallace trip fours, but Savill was drawing to half with his ace-deuce and to a straight and a wheel if a five came.

The Q♦ turn and Q♣ river sealed the hand for Wallace though, earning him a much-needed double-up.

Niveau 27 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

John Goyette is off to a great start today, now sitting on over six million chips.

Kopp Gets His Chips Back from Linster

Niveau 27 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Mike Linster limped in the cutoff, as did William Kopp on the button. John Goyette checked his big blind.

The flop came J♠5♠5♦ and action checked to Kopp who bet 125,000. Goyette folded, but perennial nemesis Linster called.

On the 9♠ turn, Linster check-called a bet of 500,000 from Kopp, and another sizeable pot between the duo was being.

The river was the 8♠ and after a final check from Linster, Kopp slid out a bet of 1,200,000. Linster flicked in a call and was disappointed by what he saw.

Kopp showed K♥Q♣9♥9♣ for a turned full house. Linster showed his A♣A♠Q♠Q♦ for a losing ace-high flush to send a big pot back to Kopp.
