After an open from Ray Henson, short-stacked Blair Hinkle moved all in preflop and Henson snap called to put him at risk.

Blair Hinkle: A♣K♥
Ray Henson: A♠A♥

"Well I was hoping for a much better flip than this," Hinkle sighed as the board ran out 6♥6♦9♦5♥9♥ for Henson's aces to hold and Hinkle was sent to the rail.

Acevedo Building a Healthy Stack

Livello 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

The early position player and the cutoff limped, Michael Acevedo was on the button and punished the limpers by putting in a raise of 4,000 and was called by both players. The flop came out K♠6♣J♠ and the early position player checked and the cutoff shoved for 11,500. Acevedo made the call and the other player folded.

Cutoff Player: Q♦10♦
Michael Acevedo: A♦J♦

Acevedo was ahead with the pair of jacks but would need to sweat the straight draw. But in the end a pair of jacks won when the turn came the 3♣ and the river was the 8♦.
