Than Benefits From Cooler

Level 11 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

The end of a hand was caught as the dealer was counting out the chips the board showing {k-}{4-}{q-}{7-}{k-}

The losing player held {a-}{k-} for trip kings but it was no good as the winning {q-}{q-} hand of Julie Than was showing for the full boat as she was sent the chips to stack up as her opponent got up from the table busted.

Doan Collects With Boat

Level 11 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Action was on the flop reading {6-Spades}{6-Clubs}{j-Clubs}. Stephen Song made a bet and Christopher Doan called.

The turn came the {2-Spades}. Both players checked their hands.

The river was the {10-Diamonds}. Stephen Song bet 12,000. Doan raised to 42,500 which Song instantly called.

Doan tabled the {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts} for the full house, while Song mucked and Doa collected the nice pick up to his stack.

Kogel Commits Regicide With Three Queens

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Nathanael Kogel was all in and at risk with {a-}{q-} against the {k-}{k-} of his opponent.

The flop brought a queen, the turn was a blank and the river was another queen to give Kogel the winning hand to the unconventional way, cracking the kings and keeping him alive with a decent stack.
