Kokkonen Shouldn't Talk

Level 53 : 1,200/2,400, 0 ante

"I would probably be better if I just didn't talk," Eevert Kokkonen just said with a big smile after winning a nice pot on the river off of Max Steinberg. The board read {6-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{K-Clubs}{4-Spades} when Kokkonen checked to Steinberg who bet 15,000 into a 22,000 chip pot. The young Finnish player put out a raise to 53,100 and after quite some time Steinberg folded.

Steinberg has 84,000 chips and two lammers behind while Kokkonen has already cashed in both his rebuy bullets. He has 236,000 chips and is slightly trailing even though he has a chip lead due to cashing in his lammers. The two remaining lammers are worth 80,000 each.

No More Lammers: Polk Doubles Through Lichtenberger

Level 54 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante

We caught the action on a {8-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{3-Spades} flop when Douglas Polk bet 14,500 into Andrew Lichtenberger who called from the button. The turn was the {4-Clubs} and Polk bet 28,600. Lichtenberger tanked and called giving us river action. The river was the {3-Hearts} and Polk shoved all in. Lichtenberger snap-called and mucked when his opponent turned over {K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}.

Douglas Polk is up to 320,000 while Lichtenberger had to use his lammers to get back in this match. He has 160,000 chips and there are no more lammers left behind.

Another Double Up For Parker

Level 54 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante

We are seeing lots of action between Brock Parker and Mark Radoja. Parker, a two time WSOP bracelet winner, just managed to double through his opponent giving him the chip lead. Radoja started off by raising to 4,800 and Parker opted to make it 14,400 from the button. Radoja moved all in and Parker made the call for 83,400 chips.

Parker showed {7-Hearts}{7-Spades} against {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} and he was looking for a lot of help. The board brought out {5-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{3-Spades}{K-Hearts} giving Parker a straight and the double up. He is now up to 166,800 with one lammer left behind while Radoja has 73,200 with two lammers left behind.
