Kim Doubles Through Tokoo

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Namhyung Kim moved all in from under the gun for 350,000. Action folded all the way to Shunsuke Tokoo who just called from the small blind. The big blind folded.

Namhyung Kim: {3-Spades}{3-Hearts}
Shunsuke Tokoo: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}

The dealer spread the {6-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{10-Hearts}, scary for threes, but they were still good when all was said and done to give Kim the double.

Bogdanov Doubles After Long Tank

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Toni Kaukua opened from the hijack to find a three-bet from Yulian Bogdanov on the button for 125,000. Back on Kaukua, he moved all in for 765,000 effective.

Bogdanov went well into the tank. A tablemate called the clock. The tournament director counted all the way down to two seconds before Bogdanov made the call. A looming pay jump may have been a factor.

Yulian Bogdanov: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}
Toni Kaukua: {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}

It was a race between two similarly-sized stacks. Bogdanov came out ahead on the {q-Spades}{7-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{a-Diamonds} board to take down the pot.

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Klas Krueger raised in middle position and Pim van Wassenberg defended out of the big blind.

Van Wassenberg checked on the flop of {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{2-Hearts} and Krueger bet 60,000. Van Wassenberg called. Van Wassenberg checked again on the {a-Hearts} turn and Krueger quickly checked back.

The {a-Spades} peeled off on the river to double pair the board and Van Wassenberg bet 75,000. Krueger called.

"You win," Van Wassenberg said in defeat as he showed {7-Spades}{6-Hearts} for just seven-high, leading Krueger to turn over the winner with {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}.
