Bosen Sliding

donpeters

Peter Bosen raised to 700 from middle position and was called in two spots. Poland's Tomasz Krzesiński called on the button and the small blind called as well. The flop was {10-Diamonds}

for the three players and action checked around.

The turn brought the {9-Spades}

and Bosen checked after the small blind had checked. Krzesiński fired 1,700 in position and got both players to fold. He is now up to 32,000. Bosen slipped to 47,500 and has been steadily decreasing since winning that massive pot early on and doubling his stack.

Flopping Sets Like it's His Job

[user66118]

We joined a three-way pot in action as the dealer ran out a flop of {9-Diamonds}

. Peter Eastgate was first to speak, and he led out with a bet of 1,475. Mikael Lundell quickly called as the third player ducked out of the way.

The turn was the {4-Clubs}

, and Eastgate fired again, 2,500 this time. Lundell instantly called, and the river was the {K-Diamonds}

. Another bet of 6,000 from Eastgate saw Lundell nearly beat him into the pot with one final call. Eastgate tabled {J-Clubs}

, and that was plenty good enough to win himself a nice pot.

The Team PokerStars Pro has bounced back from his early woes. He's up to 44,000 now.

The two players took a flop of {8-Clubs}
