A Cooler and a Bad Beat

Chad Holloway

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Joao Figueiredo raised to 11,000 under the gun and Marv Karlins, who was just moved to the table, three-bet to 50,000 next to act.

Action folded back to Figueiredo and he jammed for 180,000, which Karlins snap called.

Karlins:
Figueiredo:

It was a cooler, but it also became a bad beat when the flop came down to give Figueiredo a full house. Neither the turn nor river changed a thing and Karlins sent over a big chunk of chips.

Player	Chips	Progress
Joao Figueiredo	375,000 125,000	125,000
Marv Karlins	125,000 -175,000	-175,000

Koenner Puts Bad Beat on Washington

Chad Holloway

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

A preflop raising war saw Turomne Washington get his stack of approximately 115,000 all in against Efim Koenner. Washington was primed to double with the bigger pocket pair.

Koenner:
Washington:

Unfortunately for Washington, a bad beat was in store as the flop contained a nine. Neither the turn nor river helped him catch back up and he watched the large pot pushed to Koenner.

Efim Kanner	250,000 250,000	250,000
Turomne Washington	Busted
