Sikorski Puts Sick Beat on Kostoulas

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Chris Kostoulas opened for 8,000. Kat Sikorski made the call from the button and the player in the big blind completed with a call.

The flop came {3-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{q-Clubs}. It was checked to Kostoulas in the hijack and he continued with a bet of 15,000. Sikorski then three-bet min-raised to 30,000. It folded back to Kostoulas who then four-bet min-raised to 60,000.

Sikorski tanked for a few seconds before going all-in for 150,000. Kostoulas snap-called.

Kat Sikorski: {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}
Chris Kostoulas: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}

Kostoulas had flopped top set and his opponent was drawing very slim.

Sikorski was practically walking away from the table when the board completed with the {5-Hearts} on the turn and the {2-Hearts} on the river.

Sikorski went runner-runner to hit a straight to double through Kostoulas who was seriously crippled and was eliminated shortly thereafter.

Yaginuma Fires Twice

Level 13 : 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

In a heads-up pot, the flop read {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}{5-Clubs}, with about 19,000 in the middle the action checked to Jesse Yaginuma who put out a bet of 5,000. His opponent called.

The turn was the {2-Spades} and after Yaginuma's opponent checked once more, he fired in a bet of 18,000. That was enough to force his opponent to surrender the pot and the dealer shipped Yaginuma the pot.

Timothy Su: {6-Hearts}{4-Hearts}
Viet Vo: {10-Spades}{2-Spades}

Vo had flopped two pair and the turn was the {10-Clubs} meaning Su was drawing dead to the full house as the {6-Diamonds} completed the board.
