Red Hot Ricky!

After a raise and call from late position, Rick Kroesen popped it up and additional 1,400 from the small blind. The player in the cutoff wasn't fazed as he quickly declared himself all in for roughly 10,000. The button folded as Kroesen quickly called.

Kroesen: {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}
Opponent: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}

The board ran out {4-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{3-Spades}{6-Clubs}{7-Clubs} which was safe for Kroesen to collect the pot and send his opponent to the rail.

A few moments later we caught Kroesen in the thick of the action once again. After firing a bet of 600 on the flop and checking the turn, three players went to the river on a {9-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} board.

The under-the-gun player bet 1,800 before Kroesen raised to 6,600. His opponent called but Kroesen slammed his {A-Clubs}{7-Clubs} on the table with the cry of "Nuts!"

A good few minutes for Kroesen who qualified for this tournament in a PokerStars online satellite. He's now up to 39,300.
