Vang Sends Opponent to Rail

Level 21 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Kou Vang opened from under the gun for 50,000. Action folded to the small blind who moved all in with 480,000 behind. Vang quickly made the call.

Opponent: {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades}
Kou Vang: {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}

With Vang well out in front, the board came {k-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}, improving neither player's hand, meaning Vang's ace-queen high was good. Vang scooped the pot while his opponent was sent to the rail.

Doan Commits to Stone-Cold Big Blind Bluff, Gets Paid

Level 21 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

The player under the gun opened for 40,000 and the button called. Chris Doan, from the big blind, three-bet to 120,000 and the under-the-gun player four-bet to 225,000. The button folded and Doan called.

The flop came {2-Spades}{8-Spades}{8-Diamonds} and the under-the-gun player continued for 150,000. Doan called.

The turn came the {5-Clubs} and the under-the-gun player bet 175,000. Doan ripped it all-in for 740,000 total and sent his opponent deep into the tank.

His opponent was visibly confused and with his six-minute tank and an enormous pot in the middle, the hand drew an audience from other tables. Finally, the player folded.

Doan proudly tabled the {k-Clubs}{9-Spades} for an absolute stone-cold bluff, with the word quickly spreading around the Bally's Ballroom.

Level 21 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

The hijack opened to 60,000 and the small blind flat-called. Juan Gandara then three-bet to 240,000 from the big blind and only the small blind called.

The small blind checked on the flop of {2-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} and Gandara checked back. The small blind checked again on the {5-Spades} turn and Gandara again checked back.

The small blind checked a third time on the {7-Diamonds} river and Gandara took a stab with a bet of 180,000. The opponent called, only to muck when Gandara showed {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} for an overpair.

Jennings Sends Opponent to Rail with Aces over Kings

Level 21 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

The middle position player opened for 65,000. Greg Jennings, in the cutoff, raised to 150,000. His opponent moved all in, and Jennings made the snap call with his opponent covered.

Opponent: {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Greg Jennings: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}

Jennings was already well ahead, but the {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{2-Spades} flop gave him a set, and left his opponent drawing incredibly thin. The board finished {6-Hearts}{4-Clubs}, ensuring that Jennings' set held up, giving him the pot, and sending his opponent to the rail.

The turn came the {6-Spades} and the big blind continued for 275,000. Deevara thought for about a minute and raised to 600,000.
