Amsellem Adds to Stack With Two Pair

Level 26 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Alan Bono opened to 110,000 from middle position, Tahar Said called in the cutoff, and Jacob Amsellem called on the button.

The dealer spread the {k-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} flop and Bono led for 120,000. Said folded, Amsellem raised to 320,000, and Bono called.

Both players checked the {j-Clubs} turn to the {5-Hearts} river. Bono checked, Amsellem bet 500,000, and Bono called fairly quickly.

Bono turned over {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} for top pair, but Ansellem tabled {k-Clubs}{9-Clubs} to claim the pot with his two pair.

Tibor Nagygyorgy opened to 90,000 on the button and Alexandre Poulain jammed for approximately 1,200,000 in the small blind. The big blind folded and Nagygyorgy quickly announced a call.

Alexandre Poulain: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}
Tibor Nagygyorgy: {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}

The {q-Clubs}{7-Spades}{4-Clubs} flop gave Poulain more outs, but the {3-Spades} and {8-Clubs} completed the board to keep the cowboys in front as Nagygyorgy gave a clap of his hands and Poulain made his exit.
