Marcel Doubles Through Chan

Terrence Chan led out preflop and Marcel Luske bumped the bet. Chan made it three bets and Marcel was able to get all his chips in the middle. Chan called and showed pocket nines while Luske was in great shape with pocket kings. The kings held up for Marcel, who also spiked a third on the river, and he's now up to 8,000 in chips.

Thor Hansen Eliminated

A player led out preflop and Thor Hansen made it two bets to go. His opponent called and the flop fell {4-Hearts} {K-Diamonds} {4-Spades}. Thor led out on the flop and his opponent called. The turn was a {5-Diamonds} and Thor's opponent led out and Thor put himself all in. His opponent called and showed A-5 for fives and fours while Thor turned over K-J for top and bottom pair.

Unfortunately the river was the {A-Clubs}, eliminating Thor from the field.

Deeb's Cap

Freddy Deeb was involved in a three-handed pot that was capped preflop. The board ran {Q-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs} {9-Spades} {6-Hearts} with one bet and a call on the flop, turn, and river. Deeb turned over pocket rockets, which were good, and he is up to 18,000 after the hand.

One of the opponent's said he had kings, which he had mucked.
