Moorman Charging

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante

Let's Be Frank: This is Sick

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante
Christopher Frank
Christopher Frank

Tamer Kamel had a great first level but is having a nightmare second level. He was one card from a near three million stack just now until a cruel river came to stab him in the heart.

To be fair though, he got lucky on the turn where the chips went in between himself and Christopher Frank. The board read {j-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{j-Spades}{6-Clubs} and Kamel check-raised all in. Frank called off for his remaining 809,000.

Frank: {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} for trips.
Kamel: {6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} for a full house.

The river dropped as the {3-Clubs} to make the German a full house. sat back down with a stack in excess of two million.
