Quad Alert For D'Anselmo

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Action was picked up on the turn with the board reading {8-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{10-Clubs}. Nicola D'Anselmo bet 38,000 from middle position. Morten Mortensen called from early position.

The river came the {5-Clubs} to pair the board. D'Anselmo then took a peek at Mortensen's stack before pushing forward enough to force him all in. Mortensen took about 30 seconds before he called.

D'Anselmo tabled the nuts with the {5-Diamonds}{5-Spades} which got a few reactions from the table while Mortensen was sent to the rail.

Beresford Felted By Kings

Level 13 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Conor Beresford jammed preflop and was snap-called by Jon Clark.

Beresford voiced his displeasure as he jokingly called Clark a derogatory term as he saw Clark turn over the {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} which was crushing the {5-Spades}{5-Diamonds} of Beresford.

The flop gave a flicker of hope to Beresford as it came {3-Hearts}{4-Spades}{6-Clubs}. The turn was the {8-Clubs} but the river would miss as the {3-Diamonds} came off and Beresford was taken out.
