Big Hands:
Cowboys Best Bullets
Tony Cousineau raised the pot from the hijack and Davidi Kitai re-potted from the big blind. Cousineau then moved all in and Kitai made the call. Kitai showed pocket kings, KK but Cousineau showed AA. Cousineau was all set to double up but the flop had different ideas. It came down KJ4, giving Kitai the lead with a set. The board didn’t improve Cousineau and he was eliminated.
Alvarado Eliminates Rheem
Chino Rheem moved all in preflop and J.C. Alvarado made the call. Rheem showed JJ but Alvarado had AA. Rheem failed to crack Alvarado’s aces and he was eliminated.
Baldwin Survives All-In, Kahlmeyer Doesn’t
On a flop of Q38, Tim Kahlmeyer fired 12,000 into the pot and Eric Baldwin raised it to 29,000. Kahlmeyer then moved all in and Baldwin called. Baldwin turned over AA and Kahlmeyer showed 86 for a pair and a flush draw. The turn brought the 2 and the 7 fell on the river.
The dealer then counted each player’s chips and it turned out both players had 103,500 in front of them. Kahlmeyer was eliminated and Baldwin was at 207,000.
