Garcia Beats Boeken

From the hijack seat, Team PokerStars Pro Noah Boeken raised to 8,000. Spanish professional golfer Sergio Garcia made the call on the button and the flop came down {K-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{3-Clubs}. Boeken checked and Garcia bet 16,500. Boeken called.

The turn was the {A-Hearts} and both players checked to see the {7-Clubs} fall on the river. Both checked again.

Boeken announced that he had a king and went to roll over his hand, briefly flashing the {K-Spades}. Before he could turn his hand fully over, Garcia tabled the {A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for a pair of aces and then Boeken mucked his hand without revealing all of it.

We're in the Money?

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

A little while ago, the tournament director announced that the tournament field was down to 161 players, meaning it was time for the bubble. There was a couple of all ins, but no one busted in any of the hands. After all the hands were completed, the tournament director and staff recounted the field. It was then announced that everyone remaining was in the money as 160 players remained. Magic.

"Oh, No!"

After a raise and a call pre flop, Ruben Visser and Roberto Bermejo saw a flop of {5-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{10-Spades}. Bermejo, the original raiser, led for 8,000, and Visser called. The turn was the {j-Clubs}, and Bermejo tossed out another 8,000. Visser raised to 28,000, and Bermejo tank-called.

The river was the {3-Hearts}, and Bermejo slowed down, checking to Visser who fired 30,000. Bermejo thought for a moment, then moved all in for about 45,000. Visser, thinking he was beat, unhappily tossed in the extra 15,000, and Bermejo turned over {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs} for a pair of kings. Visser opened up {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for two pair, eliminating Bermejo.

"Oh, Nooooooooooo!" Bermejo yelped, putting his hands over his face.

Bermejo sat in shock for a minute or two, then finally got up out of his chair and left the tournament area.
