Alway’s Sevens Hold in Classic Flip Against Big Slick

Level 12: 1,000 / 2,000 ante: 2,000

Anthony James Alway shoved all-in in early position and got called by Nikolai Guliaev on the button, putting Alway at risk.


Anthony James Alway: 7♣ 7♠


Nikolai Guliaev: A♣ K♦


Alway was slightly ahead in this classic coin flip, but Guliaev had two overcards that could easily shift the outcome. The board ran out J♥ 6♣ 4♠ 9♣ 6♠, and with no ace or king in sight, Alway secured the double up with his pocket sevens holding firm.

Guliaev wins with Kings

Level 12: 1,000 / 2,000 ante: 2,000

We caught the action with Nikolai Guliaev all-in and at risk against an unknown opponent.


The board ran out 5♦ 5♥ Q♦ 5♣ T♣. The unknown player revealed A♦ Q♥, having flopped a pair of queens. But Guliaev tabled K♣ Ks—his kings held strong through the runout, securing him the full house and a crucial double-up.
