Back and Forth

Level 29 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

John Andress opened to 120,000 with the button and Brian Ali snap-called. Both players checked the {4-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{10-Clubs} flop, but after the {9-Spades} turned Ali led for 200,000. Andress called.

Both players again checked after the {9-Clubs} came on the river and Ali opened {10-Diamonds}{8-Spades} for tens and nines. Andress mucked and Ali raked in the pot.

The very next hand Ali limped on the button and Andress checked. The two checked the {k-Spades}{7-Clubs}{10-Hearts} flop and after the {8-Spades} turned, Andress led for 80,000. Ali almost beat him in the pot.

The river was the {3-Diamonds} and Andress led for 200,000.

"Three hundred," Ali announced before Andress could complete his motion.

Ali was forced to raise to 400,000 because his original raise wasn't enough, and Andress made the call. Ali tabled {10-Clubs}{5-Hearts} for a pair of tens, but Andress opened {k-Clubs}{2-Hearts} for a winning pair of kings.

It's been back and forth thus far, and the stacks are still around 3 million for Andress and 5.7 million for Ali.
