Mistake Gains Larsson a Double-Up

[user50492]

Eric Koskas raised pre-flop (as he does every other hand). Andreas Larsson meant to move all in but he put a stack of chips out and reached back for more chips before saying, "all in," and the dealer ruled it was a call. The flop came down {A-Hearts}

and all the chips got in the middle with the {A-Clubs}

of Andreas holding up against the {Q-Spades}

of Koskas. Koskas admitted he would have folded to the pre-flop all-in had it stood.

Asger Boye Eliminated by Eric Koskas

[user40108]

Action folded around to Asger Boye and he raised to 13,500 from the cutoff seat. Eric Koskas then pushed out more than enough chips out to put Boye all in. Boye eventually made the call and the players showed:

Boye: {K-Hearts}

Koskas:

The board ran out {10-Clubs}

and Koskas's pair of nines was best. Boye made a clearly dissapointed exit. Koskas however, is on a heater, with well over 600,000 in chips.
