Aman Builds Massive Stack

Nível 31 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Rafe Aman was seen stacking towers of chips from taking down a large pot a few hands before. The action folded to Aman in the small blind who limped in and Kathy Liebert checked her option in the big blind.

The flop fanned out J♣6♣2♣ and Aman check-called a bet of 300,000 from Liebert. On the 9♥ turn both players checked their options to the 6♥ river.

Aman bet out 900,000 and Liebert went deep in the tank. After over a minute of thought, Liebert folded and the pot was shipped to the new chip leader.

"Did you have a club?" asked Liebert as Aman continued to stack his chips without a response.

Gambino Finds the Double

Nível 31 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Joseph Gambino went all for just under 2,000,000 and eventually was called by a player in late position.

Joseph Gambino: A♦Q♦
Late Position K♥J♦

The flop was ideal for Gambino as he binked the A♣8♦6♠ for top pair and the 9♠ on the turn locked up the hand for him as the inconsequential J♥ rolled off.
