Nines Versus Four Jacks

Livello 25 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Justin Kindred opened under-the-gun to 100,000 and Rui Ferreira made the call and the action folded back around to Robert Gilbert in the big blind who then shoved all in.

Kindred then shoved over the top for around 1,800,000 and Neves thought about it for a few seconds before he made the call to put both players at risk.

Robert Gilbert: 9♠9♦
Justin Kindred: J♥J♠
Rui Ferreira: J♦J♣

Kindred and Ferreira shared a look while Gilbert began to stand up as the flop came out 6♣5♥10♥. The K♥ on the turn gave Kindred a free-roll flush draw but the 7♦ on the river did not get him there so he and Ferreira chopped up the pot while Gilbert was eliminated.

Action was picked up on the flop between Seth Davies on the button and Eli Fisz in the cutoff.

The turn peeled off a 10♥ and Fisz bet 400,000 which saw Davies call once more.

Fisz bet 1,100,000 on the 8♦ river and Davies responded by raising to 2,300,000 leaving himself a single chip behind. "I call Fisz said as he turned over his hand."

Fisz showed K♦2♦ for a flush, but it was rendered second best against Davies 5♥5♠ for a full house.

"Oh my god," lamented Fisz as Davies retook the chip lead once more.

Davies Floats with Nine-High

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 25 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Derek Normand opened to 80,000 from under the gun and the action folded around to Seth Davies in the big blind who made the call and the two went to a flop of 6♣Q♦5♠.

Davies checked to Normand who continued for 120,000 but then Davies check-raised to 300,000. Normand decided that wasn't quite enough and reraised to 520,000 which Davies called to see the Q♣ on the turn.

The action then went check-check and they went to the river 9♦ which saw Davies check once more.

Normand then gathered a stack of chips and set them in the middle for a bet totaling 585,000 and Davies thought about it for a good 30 seconds before he flicked in a call.

Normand rolled over A♥4♥ for ace-high and Davies flipped over 8♠9♠ for a nine on the river to win the pot.

"So, that's how y'all do it, huh?" Normand said to him. "Just float with the nine high and they give you whatever you want... you just put me on the ol' airball?"

Davies just smiled as he raked in the substantial pot to put him at 3,775,000 while Normand was reduced to 1,400,000.

Davies then went on to win another decent pot and is now sitting at 4,200,000 as the chip leader.
