Simba Cracks Aces to Score a Knockout

Livello 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Action caught up with Jae Kyung Sim betting 80,000 from the small blind against an early position player, with the early position player moving all in and Simba calling on a board that read 4♠A♦2♥3♠.

Early position: A♠A♥
Jae Kyung Sim: 5♣4♣

The early position player looked strong with a set of aces on the flop, but Sim caught up with a turned wheel.

Sim just needed to avoid the board pairing to score the knockout, which is what happened on the K♥ river.

Sim, who's known to many as "Simba," is now one of the top stacks in the room.

Ruzin Gets the Triple-Up

Livello 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Action caught up to a multi-way all-in hand between Alexey Ruzin in the big blind, a player in late position, and a player on the button.

Alexey Ruzin: A♦K♦
Late Position: J♠J♦
Button: A♠J♣

Fortunately for Ruzin, one of the two remaining aces fell on the 8♣10♥A♣ flop, leaving both opponents needing to play catch-up.

That door would open on the 7♠ turn, giving both players holding a jack a gutshot straight draw with a nine. But the 5♥ on the river would seal up the win for Ruzin on a final board reading 8♣10♥A♣7♠5♥.

Ruzin scored the much-needed triple-up to stay alive.
