Kachittavong Takes from Linster, Gives to Norero

Level 30 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Mike Linster opened for 250,000 on the button and got action from Soukha Kachittavong in the big blind. On the flop of {k-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{4-Hearts}, Kachittavong checked, Linster bet 215,000, and Kachittavong called.

Turn was the {8-Diamonds}, pairing the board, and both players checked. The {a-Clubs} completed the board and Kachittavong led for 950,000. Linster gave it some thought, then surrendered, saying he had ace-four and got counterfeited. Kachittavong said he had ace-queen and they would have chopped.

On the next hand, Jean Paul Norero opened for 350,000 and Kachittavong called from the small blind. The flop fell {q-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} and both checked. Turn was the {6-Spades} and Kachittavong checked again. Norero bet 300,000 and got called.

River brought the {5-Hearts} and they checked it down. Norero showed {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds} and Kachittavong mucked.
