When Snowmen Meet Snowmen

Level 21: 8,000 / 16,000 ante: 16,000

Luke Dainton made it 84,000 to go from middle position, leaving only 16,000 chips behind. Jeoffrey Sibal three-bet to 200,000 from the small blind. Dainton called oof his last few chips.

Luke Dainton: 8♣ 8♥

Jeoffrey Sibal: 8♠ 8♦

Both players held pocket eights, giving Dainton a strong chance to stay alive. On the flop of 3♠ A♣ Q♣ , he saw hope for a flush.

'Club! Club!' Dainton exclaimed. However, the runout brought 4♠ 7♥ , sealing the hand as a chop.

You Can Only Catch a Boat on the River

Level 21: 8,000 / 16,000 ante: 16,000

Luke Dainton and Javier Martinez were both all-in before the flop and both with very similar stacks. By the end of the hand, one would be flush with chips and the other, pretty much busto from the Main Event.

Luke Dainton K♠ T♠

Javier Martinez Q♠ Q♥

Martinez was ahead with his two Ladies, and just needed to avoid a king or some spades from the dealer to send Dainton packing. However, a brutal flop of K♣ T♣ 5♥ fell to propel Dainton into pole position with two-pair.

Upon seeing the miraculous Q♦ appear on the turn Martinez turned his frown upside down, as he took back the lead with a set of queens.

Only a two-outer on the river would keep Dainton alive. For now, the poker gods were fond of Dainton as they delivered the K♥ on the river to give Dainton a higher full house, kings over tens. Dainton secured the double up, while Martinez was left with fumes.

Kanaraksapong Thinks It's a Bluff

Level 18: 4,000 / 8,000 ante: 8,000

Luke Dainton

On the flop of 8♣ T♥ T♣ , Kanaraksapong checked to Dainton, who continued for 10,000 and Kanaraksapong made the call to see the 4♣ hit on the turn, where Kanaraksapong check-called again to a barrel of 223,000 from Dainton.

The river brought a 4♠ . Kanaraksapong quickly shoved all in for around 115,000, but she didn’t expect Dainton would snap-call.

“shit..” she exclaimed after double-checking with Dainton’s action.

Dainton revealed flopped trips of tens with K♣ T♠ . Kanaraksapong mucked her cards and walked out of the table.
