Brandon Bloom

Level 14 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

After an open to 5,000 from the hijack and a call from the cutoff, Vanessa Kade three-bet to 24,000 in the small blind. Theodore Curran four-bet to 50,000 in the big blind and action folded back to Kade who called.

Coleman Busts Shebat With Kings Versus Kings

Brandon Bloom

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Samuel Laskowitz opened to 3,000 from middle position, Joyace Owens flatted the cutoff, and Chris Shebat jammed for 17,500 on the button. David Coleman called in the small blind and everyone else folded.

Chris Shebat: K♠K♦
David Coleman: K♥K♣

A chop was likely with all of the kings accounted for, but the 8♣7♣6♣ flop gave Coleman a freeroll. The 10♣ hit the felt on the turn to leave Shebat with a single out for the chop, but the Q♣ completed the board to eliminate him on the unfortunate runout.

David Coleman	107,000 91,200	91,200

Joyace Owens	33,000 -35,000	-35,000
