Karmic Payback for Killing Remus

[user75032]

We caught up with Cero Zuccarello as he raised all in to 40,000 preflop. Romulus Suchovsky made the call.

Suchovsky: {A-Clubs}

Zuccarello: {K-Diamonds}

Things looked grim for Zuccarello when the flop came down {8-Hearts}

, leaving him only with runner-runner options to win the pot. The turn {10-Diamonds}

gave him the faintest of hope, and the river {9-Hearts}

gave him the pot. Zuccarello now has 80,000 in chips.

Lester: {Q-Diamonds}

Murray:

The board ran out {9-Hearts}

and Murray's kings were a tad better than Lester's queens. Lester dropped to 68,000 after this hand.

The Ecstasy and the Agony

[user37786]

Before the flop Darrell Dicken found himself all in with {Q-Clubs}

against the {A-Clubs}

of Edward Zane. But Dicken turned the tables on the {K-Clubs}

flop and suddenly it was Zane who was looking to hit his two-outer.

Which, no doubt to Dicken's dismay, Zane did on the turn, as he caught the {A-Diamonds}

. Dicken needed the case queen on the river to reverse the reversal of fortune, but instead it was the {K-Hearts}

that fell and Dicken was eliminated. Zane is now up to 200,000.
