Lars Pettersson Hits the Rail

[user92162]

Preflop Konstantin Tolokno opened to 12,500 with Dong-bin Han flat-calling with position from the button. Lars Pettersson then shipped his 95,000 chip stack into the middle and Tolokno got out of the way.

After going into to the tank and asking for a count, Han made the call and rolled over {6-Spades}

. Pettersson was looking good with {6-Clubs}

.

The

[4s} flop and {10-Hearts}

turn were all clear, but Han got exactly what he was looking for on the {7-Hearts}

river.

"Yes! Seven!" said Han, as most of his table groaned in disgust. Pettersson exits in 32nd place.

Le Sets the Trap but Gaertner Ducks the Bait

[user75032]

There was a surprising four-way flop over on Table 4. Nam Le had first action on a flop of {3-Hearts}

and bet 30,000. Only Mike Gaertner called. Both players checked the {10-Diamonds}

turn and

river, with Le showing {A-Hearts}

to take the pot.

After he showed his hand, he made an inaudible comment to Phillip Willcocks on his right. Willcocks responded, "I was going to take a ten-minute penalty. 'Nam has queens! Nobody double him up!'"
