Bohn Doubles Up
Level 7
: 250/500, 50 ante
Blake Bohn got his last 13,525 in preflop with 
against 
. Kings have been a cursed hand lately according to Bohn's twitter feed, as he's repeatedly dropped monster pots in various tournaments, and things looked no different this time as 
flopped. The 
turn helped Bohn with a four-flush, and the 
river was one of the cards he needed to take the pot.
"That would have been 1-for-11," Bohn said of his recent skid with cowboys.

Kroon's Shove Wins
Level 7
: 250/500, 50 ante
Mark Kroon called a raise of 4,500 from the button, and his opponent in middle position continuation-bet 7,500 on a 
flop. Kroon called, and a hit. The middle player checked, and Kroon bet 7,525. His opponent tossed in 3,525, thinking that was the bet, and lamented that he should have asked before calling the proper amount. He checked the river, and Kroon shoved. His opponent asked for a count, and it looked to be about 30,000, roughly pot-sized. The player mucked after a couple of minutes.
"Good laydown," Kroon said. "I killed that flop."
