Moorman's Aces are Good for a Knockout Nearing Bubble

Tboss

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

Chris Moorman opened 25,000 in middle position before the player on his left three-bet to 60,000. The action folded around to Moorman and he made the call.

The flop came Q♦5♣2♠, and Moorman check-called a bet of 35,000.

The 6♦ hit the turn, and Moorman quickly checked. The hijack took about two minutes before shoving his stack of about 110,000 into the middle and Moorman snap called.

Hijack: K♦Q♥
Chris Moorman: A♠A♦

The 7♠ river meant Moorman's aces were good to eliminate his opponent as they are approaching the bubble.

Hirschman Has a Heart

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

Tim Hirschman raised from under the gun to 26,000 and received a call from the big blind. The flop came out 8♥4♥J♥ and both players checked.

The turn brought the J♦ and the big blind took a shot at the pot and bet out 19,000 and Hirschman called fairly quickly.

The river 9♥ instigated another bet from the big blind for 39,000 and Hirschman shoved all in for 95,000 and received the reluctant call.

Tim Hirschman: A♥10♥
Big Blind Player: JxKx

The big blind flopped top pair and turned trips, but that was no good against Hirschman's flopped nut flush.

Rollercoaster of Emotions for Jordison

Tboss

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

There was a raise from under the gun before Angela Jordison shoved all in for 115,000, and the player to her left made the call. The action quickly folded around to the original raiser and he mucked his hand.

Angela Jordison: 10♠10♥
Opponent: A♣K♠

"I'd like to see a ten," said Jordison before the dealer fanned a flop of A♠4♥3♥. "Well, that's so sad."

The 10♦ hit the turn though, changing Jordison's mood as she yelled, "Oh!" And the K♥ completed the board on the river for Jordison to scoop the pot.

Bailey Rivers the Nuts

Tboss

Niveau 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Michael Bailey opened 20,000 under the gun and Dara O'Kearney called in the cutoff before the small blind came along.

When the flop of J♣10♦4♠ hit the felt, the small blind checked as did Bailey before O'Kearney fired a bet of 25,000. Only Bailey made the call.

The 5♥ turn was checked through to see the 8♦ river.

Bailey fired a bet of 100,000 and O'Kearney took a moment before grabbing a stack of red to make the call. Bailey turned over Q♣9♦ for the nut straight, and O'Kearney mucked his hand.

OllieGarland

Niveau 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

A player in early position raised to 22,000, both Rudy Barajas in the small blind and the big blind called.

On a flop of 4♦5♦9♠, the action checked to the original raiser who bet out for 31,000. Barajas shoved all in for 105,000, the big blind flat called and the original raiser folded.

Rudy Barajas: 8♦8♥
Big Blind: 5♣4♠

The board ran out with the 7♠ and 9♣. With a pair of nines on the board, Barajas counterfeited the two pair of his opponent to find the double up.
