Action and Chip Counts From Table 700

Level 22 : 12,000/24,000, 0 ante

Michail Karapanos won a pot against Chris Lee on a board of {Q-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{A-Clubs} and the latter jumped right back into the action the next hand. Oliver Weis raised from under the gun and Lee called on the button, as did Ben Lamb in the big blind.

The flop of {Q-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{J-Spades} was checked through and Lamb bet the {7-Spades} turn for 105,000. Weis folded and Lee called before the {2-Hearts} river was checked through. Lamb announced a seven and Lee showed {K-Clubs}{K-Spades}{10-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} for kings and jacks. That was good enough to scoop the pot, as Lamb mucked his cards.

Below are the updated counts of all current players of Table 700.

Picking up the action on the {8-Clubs}{8-Spades}{6-Spades} flop, Brian Jordan got his last 120,000 in and Chris Lee snap-called.

Brian Jordan: {A-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{9-Spades}
Chris Lee: {J-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{3-Hearts}

Level 22 : 12,000/24,000, 0 ante

Michael Kamran

Hand 1

Michael Kamran raised the pot and Johnny Lodden moved all in from one seat over for 216,000, which Kamran called with the superior stack.

Johnny Lodden: {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{2-Spades}
Michael Kamran: {K-Spades}{K-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}

"We need clubs Ben," Kamran said to Ben Lamb one table over. Apparently, Kamran, Vivian Saliba and Lamb are in a last-longer competition. The board ran out {9-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{A-Hearts}{2-Hearts} and Lodden doubled to leave Kamran short.

Hand 2

Kamran got it in for his last 84,000 from early position and Miltiadis Kyriakides peeked at his cards. "Oh, that's a good one," he said and called immediately.

Michael Kamran: {J-Spades}{10-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{7-Spades}
Miltiadis Kyriakides: {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{9-Clubs}{8-Spades}

The board came {Q-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{10-Spades}{A-Spades} and Kyriakides rivered the better two pair to eliminate Kamran in 22nd place for $26,167.
