Ono Catches More Than A Double

Livello 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Action folded to Steven Ono on the button who jammed for his last 30,000. The small blind got out of the way and the big blind called for the additional 10,000 to put Ono at risk and headed to a runout.

Steven Ono: A♠K♥
Big Blind: 10♦3♣

Once the cards were turned up, the big blind said, "Sorry" seemingly predicting that he was going to win with the lesser hand to send Ono home.

Ono responded by simply saying, "Nope".

The dealer burned a card and spread a 3♠Q♦4♣ flop, immediately putting Ono in second place. But when the turn came the K♣, that all changed and Ono was back in the lead and a huge favorite to find a double.

The J♥ river made it official as Ono locked up a a triple up with blinds and antes included just as the money bubble approaches.

Ono was down to just one single 1,000 chip not that long ago and since has 90x'd his stack, giving himself a real shot and sneaking into the money.

Livello 19 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

The big blind checked over to Ida who counted out a bet of 80,000. The big blind check-jammed and Ida quickly called and turned over the 5♥5♦ for jacks full.

The big blind showed J♦7♥ before tossing his cards into the muck and counting out chips to send in Ida's direction.

Eidem Helps His Opponent Find the Door

Livello 19 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

On a board reading 4♥5♣10♥2♠, Paul Eidem jammed from the small blind into his opponent in the big blind.

His opponent thought for a few brief moments before moving the rest of his chips into the pot to put himself at risk with one card to come.

Big Blind: 10♣9♦
Paul Eidem: Q♥10♠

Both players had top pair, but to stave off elimination the player in the big blind would have to pair his inferior kicker on the river.

Unfortunately for the big blind, the river came the 3♠ and made his exit from the tournament area official.
