Big Hands
A Step in the Wong Direction
Jimmy Wong was in the big blind and watched the action unfold. The player in the cutoff moved all-in for 32,000, then the player on the button elected to call. Action came to Wong, who found himself staring at J
J
. He made the reraise all-in for 41,100 more, putting the pressure squarely back on the button. The player elected to call, and flipped over AJ
. The original raiser was all-in with 10
7. The flop came 922, and the 7 on the turn gave the shortstack some hope. But the 5 on the river sent the massive pot to Wong.
Hawkins Sweeps in Monster
Keith Hawkins and the player in seat 1 raised and reraised preflop, then saw the board come J73. Then all the chips went into the middle, Hawkins for 85,600, while his rival had him covered by just 5600 in chips. Hawkins showed KK for the over pair while seat 1 had AQ. The J hit the turn and 10 fell on the river and Hawkins made the massive double up.
Murnick Takes a Hit
The cutoff raised to 6500, the button called, then Rich Murnick in the small blind elected to call as well. Tony Hachem, in the big blind, reluctantly folded. The flop came KK3, and Murnick stabbed at the pot with a 10,000 bet. The cutoff called and the button folded. The 7 was the turn and Murnick checked. The cutoff bet out 25,000 to put the pressure on Murnick, who had 42,000 remaining. He elected to lay his hand down.
Liu Wins Minor Battle
J.J. Liu raised to 6000 from the cutoff and Shannon Shorr made the call. The flop came K64, Liu bet 12,000 and Shorr surrendered.
