Black Doubles with Flush

Livello 17 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

With 70,000 in the middle on the flop of J♦6♦5♠, Andy Black moved all in for 127,000 from middle position. The button folded and the small blind went into the tank. Eventually they opted to make the call.

Andy Black: A♦K♦
Small Blind: 4♦3♦

Black was ahead with ace-high and the nut flush draw, while the small blind had a useless flush draw, but did have an open-ender.

The 2♦ on the turn gave the Irishman the nut flush and the small blind could only hit the 5♦ to take the pot. The Q♠ on the river confirmed a big double up for Black.

The flop came down 5♥Q♣A♠ and was checked in both spots.

On a 7♠ turn, Tomasetti bet 50,000 and Derman matched it. The river was the 4♠. Tomasetti made it 100,000 to go and again received a call.

No Bust for Dabus

Livello 17 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

There was a player under the gun who went all in for 42,000. The player next to act in early position called and action was on Frederico Dabus on the button.

Dabus took his time and eventually put in a raise to 125,000 which covered the early position caller. The player went into the tank for almost two minutes before calling off for his tournament.

They were three ways to a flop with two players all in.

Under the Gun: K♣10♣
Early positon: K♦Q♦
Fred Dabus: J♥J♣

The flop left almost no sweat for Dabus as it came J♥6♥6♣. The 3♠ turn and A♠ river were clean and Dabus scored a double knockout to boost his stack well above average.

Morris Gets the Master to Fold

Livello 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

There was an early position open from Randall Morris to 12,000. Action folded to Men "The Master" Nguyen in the big blind who called.

The 6♥7♦5♠ flop hit the felt and quickly Nguyen led out for 20,000. Action was back on Morris who took a moment and then went all in for 128,000.

Nguyen tanked for a moment before showing the 7♣ and saying "You don't give me action, I don't give you action" and then folding.

Morris dragged the pot.

Rosenfeldt's Boat Gets a Double

Livello 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

There were 33,000 in the middle with the flop reading 8♥4♣3♠ and Jack Rosenfeldt bet 30,000 from the cutoff and was called by the button.

The turn brought the 4♥ to pair the board and Rosenfeldt checked. The button announced all in and covered Rosenfeldt, who called for 46,000.

Jack Rosenfeldt: 3♣3♦
Button: A♣5♣

The button was drawing dead after Rosenfeldt made a boat on the turn. The 2♦ completed the board to give the button a wheel to add salt to the wound.
