Omar Saeed Doubles Up With Jacks
Feb 16, '14
A player opened from under-the-gun, and Omar Saeed three-bet to 15,000. The initial bettor made it 45,000, and Saeed tanked before moving all-in for 67,500 total. He was insta-called.
Saeed tabled the J J and was up against the A K. It was essentially a classic coinflip.
The board ran out 7 6 5 6 5, and the jacks held. Saeed doubled up to a very solid stack. He had began the day with 82,600.

Ben Bianco Busts Michael Esposito in Brutal Fashion
Feb 16, '14
Michael Esposito, who finished seventh in the 2012 World Series of Poker Main Event, has made his exit in a pretty rough way.
The hand started when Omar Saeed raised to 4,000 from the cutoff. Esposito three-bet to 10,000 from the button and Ben Bianco called from the big blind. Saeed checked his cards again but called. After a flop of 975 Bianco check-called Esposito’s 20,000 bet but Saeed chose to check-fold instead.
The turn was the K and Bianco snap-announced he was all-in for more than 200,000, sending Esposito into the tank.
“You got Aces, Queens?” Bianco asked Esposito.
After a few minutes Esposito, who had about 100,000 left, called.
Esposito showed pocket Aces, but Bianco’s pocket Kings put him way ahead with a turned set. Esposito needed an Ace to stay alive, but it never came.
After the hand Bianco has about 500,000 and appears to be the biggest stack in play.
