Britton Stays Alive

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

Action was picked up after Steven Borella called an all-in bet from Simon Britton for 265,000.

Simon Britton: A?3? All in
Steven Borella: 6x6x

Britton was on the brink of elimination until the flop came out A?4?A? meaning Borella would need a six to get the knockout.

The turn would bring the 8? and the river was the 10? which secured the double up for Britton, and left Borella with just over one big blind.

Alt Finds a Double

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

Peter Lynn jammed all in from early position for 465,000, and Dinesh Alt in middle position made the call for his last 250,000. Action folded around, and the two players were heads up, with Alt at risk.

Dinesh Alt: A?J? All in
Peter Lynn: 10?10?

It was Lynns pair of 10s ahead, but that quickly changed on the 9?A?7? flop, now putting Alt ahead with his pair of aces. The turn 7? was no help, and the A? on the river improved Alt to a full house, giving him the double up.
