Another Champ Falls

Earlier in the day we lost APPT Seoul champion Yoshihiro Tasaka. Now we've lost APPT Auckland champion Daniel Craker. Craker was the aggressor preflop, raising to 1,300. Jason O'Brien called that bet and called again on a flop of {10-Spades}

. Both players checked when the turn came {A-Hearts}

. On the river {7-Spades}

, Craker bet 2,000. O'Brien raised that to 10,000, which brought an all in raise from Craker. O'Brien double-fist-pump-snap-called with {7-Clubs}

. Craker didn't even wait to see O'Brien's hand though; he knew he was beat and mucked.

While Craker was walking to the rail, O'Brien was involved in another all in, holding ace-king against pocket tens. Despite turning trips, O'Brien lost the hand when a ten spiked on the river. The chips he took from Craker went into his opponent's stack.
