A Chance To Increase Your Stack

We found Marco Hernandez and Chance Kornuth looking down at a board of {8-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{10-Spades}{7-Clubs}{2-Hearts}. With over 33,000 in the pot, Hernandez bet 20,000 and Kornuth went into the tank.

After about a minute of pondering and talking aloud about the hand, Kornuth eventually dropped in the call.

"Gooooood call," Hernandez bellowed as Kornuth tabled {8-Spades}{6-Clubs} for a flopped two pair. Hernandez mucked his hand and the pot was pushed to Kornuth.

Akenhead Ahead Early

Christian Harder opened with a raise to 1,400 from under the gun only to find Paul Kemp three-bet the action to 3,300. James Akenhead had other thoughts, however, and moved a four-bet to 6,200 into the middle from the button. It folded back to Kemp who tossed out a call.

The flop was {7-Clubs}{A-Clubs}{4-Clubs} and Kemp checked. Akenhead continued with a bet of 8,100 and Kemp quickly shot his hand into the muck, awarding the November Niner the pot.

Koon Can't Call

Max Silver opened to 1,400 and action folded around to Jason Koon's big blind. Koon flicked some chips off of his stack and announced a call.

The dealer showed the two a flop of {7-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{10-Hearts} and Koon came out firing by moving 2,300 into the pot. Silver called and the turn brought the {8-Spades}. Koon checked on this street giving Silver the opportunity to bet 4,400. Koon flung his cards at the muck and Silver grabbed the pot.
