Cohen Freerolls Lederer

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Phil Ivey opened to 3,000 and Howard Lederer made the call before Joel Cohen shipped roughly his last 19,000 into the pot.

Ivey passed, but Lederer made the call.

Cohen: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
Lederer: {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}

"Look Phil, this is what I call you with now!" stated Lederer.

The {5-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{3-Diamonds} flop brought some ohhing and ahhing from the rail as Lederer stated, "Now he has a freeroll!"

The turn of the {6-Diamonds} saw the gasp a little louder before a red four completed the river, but fortunately for Lederer it was the {4-Hearts} as both players chopped the blinds, antes and Ivey's raise.

Vos and his Ladies

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

With a 7,600-chip all in, Mark Vos isolated by making it 15,000 to go.

Jarred Solomon tanked in the small blind before folding as Vos tabled his {q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} to be ahead of his opponent's {A-Hearts}{6-Hearts}.

The board rolled out {J-Spades}{5-Clubs}{4-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} to see Vos eliminate his opponent and move to 63,000.

"What were you tanking about?" asked Vos to Solomon.

"Pocket sevens" responded Solomon.

"Fair enough" added Vos.
