Fung Lee Carson Kam opened to 10,000 from under the gun and Benjamin Ebarle called from the big blind. The flop came 3♠ J♣ 4♥ and Ebarle check-called a 10,000 bet from Kam.

Ebarle checked the 2♦ turn and Kam bet 30,000. Ebarle raised to 60,000, Kam shoved for 87,000 and Ebarle called with a covering stack.

Benjamin Ebarle: 6♦ 5♠

Fung Lee Carson Kam: J♥ J♠

Kam had top set but was behind Ebarle who had the nut-straight. The 3♦ river improved Kam to a full house and he doubled up through Ebarle.

Benjamin Ebarle opened to 900 from early position, Junj Javalera called from the button, a player in the small blind called and Sung Do Kwok defended from the big blind.

The flop came J♦ 8♣ 4♦ and action checked around to Kwok who bet 2,000. Ebarle called before Junj shoved for 25,700. The small blind folded, Kwok folded and Ebarle called with a covering stack to put Junj at risk.

Javalera Junj: A♠ J♥

Benjamin Ebarle: A♣ A♦

Junj had top pair but was drawing to just two outs against Ebarle’s pocket aces. He found no jacks on the 6♣ T♥ runout and was sent to the rail while Ebarle dragged in a healthy pot.
