Salter Doubles Through Yotsushika

Level 13 : 2,500/5,000, 3,000 ante

Having check-called two streets on a {k-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} board, Jack Salter checked a {5-Hearts} river to his opponent Kazuhiko Yotsushika with 120,000 in the middle already. Yotsushika bet 50,000 and Salter check-raised all in for 202,500.

Yotsushika thought for a while before calling and turning over {k-Clubs}{j-Spades} for top pair. Salter showed {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} and the Japanese player appeared to be surprised that a flush was possible. He counted out the chips and Salter scored a double up through the overnight hip leader.

O'Neill Takes from Nolet

Level 13 : 2,500/5,000, 3,000 ante

Guillaume Nolet raised to 11,500 from under the gun and Jack O'Neill called in the big blind.

The flop landed {2-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{10-Spades} and O'Neill checked to Nolet who continued for 18,500.

O'Neill called, and then both players checked down the {8-Clubs} and {5-Diamonds} on the turn and river.

Nolet tabled his {K-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}, but it would be O'Neill's {10-Clubs}{7-Hearts} that would earn him the pot.

Level 13 : 2,500/5,000, 3,000 ante

On a {j-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{2-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} board, and with close to 100,000 chips in the middle, Koray Aldemir bet 74,000 and Chino Rheem was thinking about his decision.

Eventually, Rheem called and Aldemir showed {k-Spades}{10-Diamonds} for king-high. Rheem slammed {q-Clubs}{j-Spades} face up which was good enough to take down the pot and move over 550,000 in chips.
