Kane Wins Another Monster

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Scotland's Michael Kane cannot be stopped.

He recently scooped another gigantic pot, this time against Stephen McHugh on a {7-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{8-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} board.

There were already lots of chips in the middle by the time Kane led for 285,000 on the river.

McHugh made a fairly quick call and tabled his {a-}{a-}.

Kane, meanwhile, had the {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} for a flopped set and scoop up the giant pot to move well into seven-figure territory.

Guzzardi Shoves On Kan

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

One of the first hands back from the break has seen Michael Guzzardi five-bet shove preflop on Raiden Kan.

It started with Kan opening the cut off to 45,000. Guzzardi three-bet to 110,000 from the button and Kan four-bet an unspecified amount before Guzzardi instantly moved all in. Kan folded just as quickly and the chips went to Guzzardi.

Kane Doubles The Short Stack

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Michael Kane was in the cut off when he opened it up to 40,000. Stephen McHugh moved all in for 185,000 from the button and the action was back on Kane. He eventually opted to make the call and the two players turned their cards over.

Kane: {q-Spades}{9-Hearts}
McHugh: {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}

It was just about as bad as it could get for Kane and great for McHugh.

The {3-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} board saw both players make a flush, with McHugh's the larger.

Lucky Eights Trump Aces

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Short stack Michael Doyle has managed to double up through Michael Kane.

Doyle got his stack in preflop with {8-Clubs}{8-Spades} and was dominated by Kane with {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}.

When the dealer flipped over a {5-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{5-Hearts} flop, Doyle's rail gave a little cheer at the sight of the full house.

The {k-Hearts} turn and {7-Spades} river were safe for Doyle and so he stayed alive.

Despite losing this pot, Kane has been three-betting relentlessly and taking down pots without contest and is still up near 1.4 million.

Michael Doyle and Michael Kane have just played a hand out to the river of a {4-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{a-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} board.

Doyle check-called a bet of 54,000 on the flop and both players checked the turn. On the river, Doyle led for 85,000 and Kane opted to let his cards go.
