Odle Uses Kings to Take Heaps From Big Stack

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Christopher Odle raised to 20,000 from the hijack, The cutoff called. Constantine Bogiatzis three-bet to about 80,000 from the small blind. Odle thought a few moments when it was back on him before announcing all in. The cutoff quickly folded and Bogiatzis called.

Odle had the {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades} while Bogiatzis was trailing with the {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades} in the massive pot, likely one of the largest of the tournament this far.

The flop came {j-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{4-Spades}. The turn was the {6-Clubs} and the river was the {2-Clubs} with neither player holding a club and Odle gained the huge pot of over 800,000 to move himself toward the top of the counts, while Bogiatzis was knocked down.

"Fake-Out" Does Wonders for Pappano

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Jeremy Pappano was all in for 339,000 against a shorter-stacked opponent and another who had him covered.

Opponent 1: {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}
Jeremy Pappano: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}
Opponent 2: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

"I guess I'm behind," the player with eights said glumly.

The flop of {3-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} was no help to Pappano and he stood from his seat in anticipation of busting out. Right on time, the dealer then put down the {k-Spades} to give him the lead and nothing changed on the {7-Hearts} turn to win him the huge pot and send one opponent to the rail.

"The fake-out did it!" a table mate said before giving Pappano a fist-bump.
