One for Kampanatsanyakorn

Level 6 : 250/500, 50 ante

With around 6,000 in the pot and a board reading {k-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{5-Clubs}, Yifan Zheng checked from the small blind and Lee Nelson did the same from the big. Chane Kampanatsanyakorn then bet 4,000 from early position, and it did the trick as both his opponents folded.

Granted, it wasn't a notable hand, but it gave us a good excuse to update you on their chip stacks.

Guerin Eliminated in a Three-Way All In

Level 6 : 250/500, 50 ante
Didier Guerin
Didier Guerin

We arrived at Table 12 with a big hand already in progress. Australia's Didier Guerin was already all in and there was roughly 18,000 in the main pot. Guangfu Ye was contemplating what to do as Edison Nguyen had moved all in over the top for 12,475 more. Eventually Ye made the call and all three hands were tabled.

Ye: {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Guerin: {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}
Nguyen: {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}

According to the PokerNews Odds Calculator, Guerin was in the worst spot with just a 16.72% chance of winning the hand while Nguyen and Ye would win 38% and 45% of the time respectively. Guerin was poised to exit, but the {k-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{8-Spades} flop gave him pause as he took the lead with a set. Just like that Guerin went from the last to being an 85.38% favorite.

Guerin let a little smile cross his face, but in heartbreaking fashion, it turned into disbelief after the dealer burned and turned the {9-Clubs} to give Nguyen a bigger set! The {5-Clubs} river blanked on the river, which sent Guerin to the rail, gave Nguyen more than a double, and left Ye on a short stack.

Cooler Results in Double for Gipson

Level 6 : 250/500, 50 ante

Keith Gipson opened with a raise to 1,200 and the small blind three-bet to 2,800. Gipson made the call as the dealer spread a {9-Spades}{4-Spades}{3-Hearts} flop.

The small blind continued for 3,000 and Gipson smooth-called as the {7-Diamonds} landed on the turn and the small blind fired again; this time for 7,500. Gipson moved all in for 29,750 and the small blind called all-in for just a few hundred less.

Gipson: {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}
Opponent: {4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}

It was a dream scenario for Gipson, and fortunately for the American there would be no case four as the river landed the {A-Diamonds} to see him eliminate his opponent and move to roughly 72,000 in chips.
